    Lunch Counter Guy - Stolen Valor

    One time, I was at the gym and conversed with a guy who was built like a bodybuilder. He and I spoke about how our love for weightlifting started with playing football in high school. We then talked about playing in college. I told him I played small college football, and he responded he played...

    What sport has the worst parents?

    Soccer parents get my vote. You're dealing with a large percentage of parents who have no familiarity with the sport before their kid started playing, yelling at refs and coaches about what they're doing wrong.

    Favorite Sports TV Day

    Football is my favorite sport, but the NCAA tourney is a good call. 12 hours of win or go home games can make for some great television.

    CPS Eliminating School Choice

    Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award...

    Parent / Coach Boundaries

    You bring up some good points about the culture of club sports and how it impacts school sports. The other thing is money. So many parents invest in private coaching, trainers, speed coaches, etc., only to see their kids play limited minutes or come off the bench in high school. Also, their kid...

    Parent / Coach Boundaries

    Following that logic, we can blame the generation that raised Gen X. So, really, it's the Baby Boomers and The Silent Generation's fault.

    Would this help football numbers any?

    I think a handful of kids would play both, but not enough to move the needle. Spring time is club soccer season. Cub soccer is viewed as more important than high school.

    Rough weekend for CPS teams

    First, AUSL is not a charter program. Yes, turnaround schools, charter schools, neighborhood schools, selective enrollment, etc., are Chicago Public Schools. However, they're all CPS schools the same way Yale, Michigan, Ferris State, and Wisconsin-Whitewater are NCAA schools—completely different...

    Rough weekend for CPS teams

    You would also be surprised how many students are protected by the McKinney-Vento Act. While a large percentage are truly homeless or their living situation is unstable. There are others taking advantage of the act.

    Rough weekend for CPS teams

    AUSL is currently focused on teacher training. However, in the past, AUSL was in the school turnaround business. In 2010, Phillips was a turnaround, meaning every staff member was replaced, and AUSL managed the school from top to bottom. AUSL schools were not part of CPS networks. AUSL was its...

    Happy Fourth!

    So are you refuting the information presented by Snopes? Would you prefer another source, like USA Today? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/07/12/fact-check-declaration-independence-post-signers-partly-false/7926316002/

    Happy Fourth!

    I am willing to bet that most people in your generation have no idea who William Ellery or Carter Braxton are, let alone their fate after signing the Declaration of Independence. Moreover, not all the information presented is correct. The author didn't even spell Thomas McKean's name correctly...

    The Poor Coach Wants Commitments in Writing

    Would you say Ed Orgeron was more valuable than Joe Burrow to LSU when they won the national championship?

    Tony Palombi at Bloom Township?

    Thanks for info. I can't find anything on social media about Kaseem being hired or Tony leaving. Like everyone else said, Tony is a great guy and I hope he stepped down by choice.
