Description

As we journey through life,  we are often shaped by our culture and the society in which we live.  Sports has always been a big influence in my life, especially Chicago Cubs baseball and Chicago Bears football. 


We absorb bits and pieces from several differing aspects of what life throws at us. 


We use those pieces to build, mold, and shape who we become, from our way of thinking and believing, right down to how we handle life's obstacles as they greet us on a daily basis. 


Watching and playing sports has helped me overcome many of the obstacles life throws our way! 


Take a walk with me and discover a different, lighter side of Chicago sports talk, the NFL and MLB all while sharing the shit that pisses me off, and all the dumbass shit I've done as I've stumbled through this crazy thing called life!
