There, I exercised my democratic duty, and it’s probably no mystery who I voted for President if you’ve followed my blog at all. Here are some of my thoughts from this whole election season: – If Obama wins this, he has not only defeated the Republican election machine, but the Clintons as well. That is …
NFL First Guessing – Week 9
So for those of you that are eagerly awaiting me to post something that is not football, I apologize. I really hope to have something soon that is not sports related. Life has been a little crazy lately, and it’s been easy to blog about football, but tough to blog about much else. And I’ve …
NFL First Guessing – Week 8
Man, is this guy ever going to post something that’s not about football? One of these days, I promise. Things are so busy right now, and this is the only thing I have a weekly deadline for. I’ve tried setting up weekly deadlines for more creative posts, and they just come out like crap. So …
NFL First Guessing – Week 7
I’m on the road again, so just the picks again from me this week. One quick Bears thought: – squib kicking with 11 seconds left in the game after you’ve taken the lead is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen, unless you’re kicking to Devon Hester. Guess what, Bears coaching staff, you have Devon Hester! …
NFL First Guessing – Week 6
I’m back from being on the road, at least for a little bit. So I actually have time to type up a few football thoughts. Now that the Cubs are done and I don’t even have to think about them anymore, it’s nice to focus on football (and hockey too, I guess, but the Hawks …

NFL First Guessing – Week 3
Well I have no catchy intro, other than that I’m off to a miserable fantasy start to the season. Maurice Jones-Drew and Joseph Addai are not coming through for me. But so it goes. Bears Thoughts There’s the old saying “bad teams find a way to lose,” and the Bears certainly found ways to lose …
My reviews of the DNC and RNC
I sat down in my favorite coffeeshop in Chicago that I work from all the time (The Grind in Lincoln Square, to be specific), and I sat across from an older gentleman who’s often there. He was reading the paper, specifically an article about Palin’s speech that had happened the night before. So I asked …
