A Seat at the Bar with Mike Royko

I walked into The Billy Goat Tavern, a subterranean saloon underneath Michigan Avenue …a real dive that oozes character like no other. A Chicago institution immortalized by the infamous Saturday Night Live skit: Cheezborger, Cheezborger, No Fries – Chips…remember John Belushi, Bill Murray, Robert Klein—–a classic. Yellowed pictures and articles and news clippings cover the... Read more »

Fantasy Football Victory for the Grasshopper and Kim Kardashian Doesn't Even Care

Update on my fantasy football team: Mad Men. The team has completed their 2013 regular season and ta daaa…they won the League championship – alone in 1st place with a 13-1 stellar record.

  As a born and raised Chicago Gal, I love Chicago Sports! I consider myself to be a genuine CUBS, BEARS, and BULLS FAN (Sorry Hawks - love you too - kinda sorta - but 3 teams are all I can handle :) And, I certainly will say GO SOX (when the Cubbies are absolutely “out of it.”) I watch our teams and go to a lot of games. Living in the heart of the city, Soldier Field, Wrigley, and the United Center are just a short hop away – lending to many spur of the moment fun times and crazy encounters with my Significant Other. Although, the reality is that being a FEMALE, I usually have a noticeably different take on our sports adventures and the day to day observations and dialogues than my MALE “SportsHead” Guy. But Hey… It’s all just Fun and GAMES!
