by Kent Sterling Cubs fans need to resist all temptation to buy into the nonsense Cubs management is peddling. Owner Tom Ricketts and team president Theo Epstein talk about hope for the distant future with the same zeal with which they battle the rooftop knuckleheads for the right to erect a giant video sign in […]
by Kent Sterling Every time Fox 59’s Chris Hagan and I roll into the 1070 the Fan studios for another few hours of talking sports, it feels special, but tomorrow is total madness and I can’t wait. And I won’t have to wait until our normal start time because there is so damn much going […]
by Kent Sterling New Years Eve and Day are traditional times for reflection, dreaming, and beginning a quest to be better people that might last as long as three days.
