Well folks, today was my debut in the world of being a head coach and I flopped. My sisters participated in the Mayor's Cup out at Montrose Harbor today, and I had the pleasure of being the coach for Annie's team. Well the tournament was 5 on 5, double elimination, and I thought we had a good chance to go pretty far. Annie had essentially the ( Read more... )

Well folks, I figured it was time for another update. Last Friday was an interesting day for me, I got up really early hopped the redline downtown and went to ESPN to try out for "Dream Job". I felt the audition went okay, but by 8pm Saturday night, when they said if they wanted you you'd get a call, I hadn't gotten a callback, so I figure I didn ( Read more... )

Well I was going through my routine of checking out the weekly paper in Skokie for the classified section and to my astonishment I found something that nearly brought me to tears in the news section. Here it is ( Read more... )

Well things are quite a bit different for me since I last updated this thing. I am now a college graduate out seeking a job in the world of radio. Big struggle ahead for me. So far I have sent out a bunch of resumes but the most recent 4 were today. I applied for a job as Production director at Chicago's WJMK Oldies 104.3, an afternoon talk ( Read more... )

Okay ladies and gents, I know that its the day after the completion of the NFL draft and I said I would comment on it, but I don't feel like it. Instead I'm going to ask you all about something that I just don't get. This is something that I especially find weird ( Read more... )

Often times we look at athletes and see them just as hired guys who go out everyday to play a sport and we admire them. But do we admire them for the right reasons. We through out words like courage and warrior and hero just a little too liberally. When a day comes along where someone deserves to be labelled with those words of praise they seem ( Read more... )

Okay so I was going to try to stay away from LJ until the weekend, but this load of bull coming out of the Manning family about Eli not wanting to play for San Diego is just stupid. If I am looking for a job and a company wants me to work for them and will pay me an enormous sum of money, I'll shut the hell up and take the money and leave when my ( Read more... )

While this is a topic that just won't seem to go away, I figure it is one that I probably have an unpopular opinion on and go ahead rip me if you will but I don't think that the current case of Maurice Clarret fighting to get in the NFL draft is ludicrous. Underclassmen in all sports should be regulated. I don't care what sport you are a ( Read more... )
