About

I'm a graduate of the University of Illinois. Cubs and Illini hoops are my two favorite teams, so naturally I have developed the mental strength of a superhuman dealing with all that losing. When the Cubs win the World Series next year, I won't be found for days because I will be on an extreme bender; probably naked the entire time.

And that is Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks on the left with me a few weeks after they won the Stanley Cup. After a Cubs victory, a few buddies of mine were at Slugger's in Wrigleyville. Low and behold, Patty Kane was there and he bought us drinks. He then proceeded to dance on the bar and spray us with champagne while Chelsea Dagger played. Feel free to be jealous.

    Read your Athletes We Had No Idea Were Still Playing article. You're right, you ARE a nerd, who apparently has no f'n clue about sports. If it's not baseball or a sport near chicago, you're clueless. Stop writing. You're horrible at it.

    Kyle, baby: Can you spell "grammar check?" how about "spell check"? How about re-reading what you've just written to see if it makes any sense? How about going back to school. and turning in the diploma someone else got for you and starting over? Sheesh!!!
