Bob's Bio
I am the Chicago Cubs community leader, and a featured columnist for the Cubs and Bears. I have written more than 500 articles, maintained the #1 ranking of MLB writers for a year, and have been listed among the front page top writers as well, which is humbling considering all the terrific writers on this site. Speaking of which, if you get a chance, check out Ryan Alberti, he is an amazing writer.
I should also note that I've recently discovered verbs, which has really brightened up my articles!
On a personal note, I have three kids, one of each. If you want to know more about me, Bleacher Report colleague Sam Wenk was kind enough to do a brief profile on me for B/R:

The Short List What Bob thinks about sport's most pressing questions
-
Favorite Athletes
I appreciate solid play, guts and determination like anyone, but I'm not into player worship these days. I must admit that over the years, I've been a fan of MJ, Larry Bird, Greg Maddux, Jim McMahon, Walter Payton, Rick Sutcliffe, Kerry Wood, Wilt Chamberlain, Muhammid Ali, Ryne Sandberg, Billy Williams, Tony Esposito, Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Keith Magnuson and Jack Nicklaus..
-
Favorite Sports Teams
Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls (in that order). On the peripheral: Cowboys, Red Sox, Florida Gators, Fightin' Illini.
-
Favorite Coaches
Phil Jackson & "Da Coach" Mike Ditka
-
All Time Sports Moment
The Chicago Bears Super Bowl season of 1985. Every where you went in Chicago, the Super Bowl Shuffle was playing. Never got tired of it.
-
Most Memorable Game Attended
Believe it or not, it was a Chicago Cougars hockey game when Bobby Hull came back to Chicago and scored a hat trick. I got his autograph.
-
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Most victories & complete games, Cy Young. These records can never be broken because of five-man rotations and the evolution of the bullpen. Also, number of steroids injected into Barry Bonds, although A-Rod is giving him a run for his money.
-
Ruth or Mays?
Ruth - he was a great pitcher in addition to a great hitter, despite being drunk most of the time
-
Unitas or Montana?
Montana. I don't remember much of Unitas. Then again, I don't remember much of last night.
-
Jordan or Russell?
MJ, although Jane did have a nice rack, come to think of it...
-
Gretzky or Orr?
The Great One. Orr redefined his position; Gretzky redefined the sport. I would actually rank Gordie Howe second all-time.
-
Pele or Maradona?
Pele. Besides, that Maradona chick is an overrated singer in my opinion.
-
Federer or Sampras?
Neither one looks good in a short skirt.
-
Tiger or Nicklaus?
Tiger will be the greatest of all-time, but my heart says Jack & Arnie all day.
-
Petty or Earnhardt?
Tom Petty.
-
Schumacher or Senna?
Let me get back to you on this one
-
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?
Living in the Midwest, I have to say the Big 10

Bob,
I did not realize "come to think of it" was the name of a specific column of yours. I used Fort Hood as the start for the reasons you mentioned, but in that case your original title will work just fine. My apologies.

Bob,
I thought you might like this piece. It’s not just your standard “breaking news” piece about a trade, although it does not the trade of Jeremy Hermida from the Florida Marlins to the Boston Red Sox. Let me know what you think in the comments section.

Thanks,

For all of those out there who say baseball should have a salary cap, prepare to have some knowledge dropped on you.

It's time to prepare the throne, the King has arrived in New York! Lebron James is set to make his only appearance this season at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks. Take a look.

Bob! How ya been, buddy? I haven't pimped one out in a while, but I found Matsui's MVP award significant enough for me to write a piece on it. The MLB is a world game and his accomplishment is big for perceptions of Asians in the majors: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/285100-matsuis-mvp-award-important-for-asians-world-in-mlb?just_published=1
Lemme know what'cha think.

As the World Series gets under way later tonight, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the "frienemies" that will develop between fans in this year's World Series.

Hey Bob, not sure if you're a fan of basketball but:
I just completed the second of a three part series between myself, Mike Kline and Justin McTeer, breaking down the Duke Blue Devils basketball season.
I highlight the back court of Duke and the different players that will need to contribute to the team. If you get a chance, check it out.
Feedback is always appreciated. Thanks!
