An Open Letter To NU Offensive Coordinator Mick McCall

July 24th, 2019 · No Comments

Long time readers know that there is no greater target of my ire than Northwestern Football Offensive Coordinator Mick McCall. I have called for his ouster; even writing Head Coach Pat Fitzgerald to complain (Fitz sent back a nice note – you can read it on evilopinion.com – search Fitzgerald). Nothing seems to get through […]

Bad And Bad At It

July 24th, 2019 · No Comments

In today’s “win at all costs” world, the only thing worse than cheating is getting caught. There’s an old quote “one dares not call it treason if it succeeds.” Our political climate is such that winning is worth everything. Certainly not honor or fairness.

Congratulations (I Guess…)

For me, if the Blackhawks are not playing, I start the NHL Playoffs by picking the teams that I don’t want to win. Usually, that is Detroit (of course), Nashville (a more recent addition), Columbus (just because of Coach John Tortorella, who is a world class jerk), and old rivals St. Louis Blues. I haven’t […]

What If Luck Is What Dooms The Bulls’ GarPax?

May 20th, 2019 · No Comments

Many Chicago Bulls fans lay the blame for the team’s lack of success in recent years to the two headed monster President of Basketball Operations John Paxson and GM Gar Foreman. There have been so many hours of sports talk radio, online petitions, even billboards taken out to fire “GarPax” as they’re called. However, the […]
