January Nothings

Heya folks. Bullet-style thoughts for this “It’s been awhile, let’s catch up” post. I apologize in advance for the wooden nature of this entry, as I’m only a cup of coffee deep on a freezing, dull Thursday.

Sports (Bears) Musings: March 2020

Once again, here’s a succint bit of sporty-mind-porridge from my lobe to yours. As we’re all (hopefully) at home during this pandemic, so too are all major sports operations. In other words, there’s basically nothing to discuss when it comes to the Cubs and Blackhawks. There’s a surprising amount of Bears news to bandy about,…

Sports Musings: February 2020

Every now and again I’d like to write a few blurbs on sports, namely of the Chicago variety, so I hope those who read who give less than a microscopic fleck of a damn will not be too off their feed if I dabble. Chicago Bears: Whatever Ryan Pace declares that Mitch is the starter,…

Unorthodox

Bryce Callahan’s young NFL career wasn’t easy, but he’ll never let up.
