Most Chicago Cubs fans would never probably admit this, but I'm sure many have pondered it already. "What if/when we win, what's our identity then?" "What's the new Holy Grail going to be?"

I'm going to try and help him escape from the status Mr. … [Read more...] about Kyle Hendricks Won’t “Toil in Obscurity” Any Longer
Wisconsin Badgers Likely Rolling Along to Indianapolis Again
In a very ho hum kind of game, the #8 Wisconsin Badgers kept rolling along the route to Indianapolis; thwarting Northwestern 21-7.

The media man crush on Jurgen Klopp is well documented, easily noticeable and well deserved. Press conferences are a world of cookie cutter tedium and dull platitudes about 90-95% of the time.
