Kirk's Bio

Born and raised in Chicago, been everywhere from the Artic to the Desert.
40-something Notre Dame fan, White Sox, Cubs, Bears, Black Hawks, Bulls fan in that order.

Now living in Columbus, OH with my talented and lovely wife.

It should be noted I am Old School, Jurrasic. Pre-Columbian.
I am against: College Football playoffs, The designated hitter, Astro-turf, Domed stadiums, Steroids, Expanded rosters in MLB, 3 divisions/Lg in MLB, The three-point shot, Instant Replay(in any sport), the clock-continuing for out of bounds plays in College football-thus shortening games, I am against GM-Manager hybrids, Hockey teams in the Sonoran Desert, the term "American Football"-soccer is one term-Football is another, I am against pampering QBs and ticky-tack skinny guy Pass Interefernce calls, I never liked in-the-grasp, I don't like prima donna WRs who duck out of bounds, I want more offensive charging calls in basketball, I don't like free agency-Magglio Ordonez should have stayed on the White Sox forever(he's rich, who cares whether he likes it or not?), I am against hunting-poaching-fishing in National Parks, and I want more lingering camera shots on the cheerleaders at football games.

Jimmy Clausen has been the best quarterback in the past 240 minutes of college football. Will he be invited to New York this year, or will the Tebow's of the nation get their pre-reserved seats?

Don't be shy.
