I like articles that spark heated debates. You don't have to like them but you can be respectful about it. I enjoy feedback positive or negative. I'm just a guy from Chicago who loves his teams.

Favorable Quotes:
"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! "
- Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone)

"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. I can't accept not trying." - Michael Jordan

I am surprised by the number of people who actually want to reserve the right to bad-mouth their teams! I offer constructive criticism, of course, but one in particular wants to be able to say, "they suck," if they do.

I don't get it. Will YOU take the pledge?
