Your Gagliardi story reminds me of my old hockey coach growing up in Chicago, Blair Barnes. He was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the 6th round of the 1979 draft (Wayne Gretzky was drafted in the same class) became a Canadian junior hockey legend, but only played one game in the NHL in 1982. By the time he started…

When I was a kid growing up in Chicago, there was a yearly high school basketball tournament held in Indy over Thanksgiving. When I was a sophomore, we went down for our annual trip and stayed at the Holiday Inn downtown. The last night we were there, after we were eliminated from the tournament, our coach took us…

John Fox, looking beaten and haggard, stumbles out of the film room on Monday after reviewing the tape looking like Nic Cage in 8mm: “There are things in there I can never unsee!”

Here’s how that will go down in my house:

Shouldn’t the title of this article be “Morris kicks Mason in the Plumlees?”

I once ate three bad fish tacos from a street vendor in Rosarito, Mexico in the late ‘90s. Yes, for some reason, even thought the unknown fish inside the taco smelled like the inside of Mark Schareth’s shoe, I still plowed my way through all three.

I thought it was called the Nordic Ware Star as made into a David Bundt Cake. Now my whole world is turned upside down!

For those of you who are wondering why Discovery Channel would take a shot at the Pittsburgh Penguins, their headquarters are in Rockville, MD, about five miles from the Verizon Center. I’m pretty sure a bitter Caps fan is in charge of their social media.

Bears: Brad Biggs, Chicago Tribune. Jeff Dickerson at ESPNChicago is good too. Mark Potash at the Sun-Times has potential but he seems to be getting all the wrong habits of the Morrissey/Mariotti crowd at his paper. Michael C. Wright is terrible.

Michael Wright of ESPN Chicago blocked me for calling out his blatant scoop stealing from Trib and Sun-Times reporters and not crediting them. Specifically, if you look at his twitter history, and that of Brad Biggs of the Tribune, it is uncanny how many times Biggs will post some observation or comment, then some…

So I want to get your book on audio, but I am worried that, like some other authors, you are going to have a fucked up voice or some horrible speech impediment that will completely ruin your facade of respectability and character. Who would you say is your voice doppleganger? Some examples: Bill Simmons sounds like…
