Wally’s (White Sox) World »
I’m probably quite unique in the world of readers and contributors to this CC&WW site. I’m a die-hard fan of the Chicago White Sox … the ChiSox … the Palehose. (Actually, this probably makes me unique in the USA … aren’t many ChiSox fans out there). Admittedly, the Sox are certainly Chicago’s [...]
Who am I? »
My six-year NFL career was one of promise unfulfilled. I was drafted in the 3rd round out of Long Beach St. as a running back and wide receiver. After a rookie campaign learning the ways of the league, I made my mark. I finished in the top ten of all-purpose yards for [...]
On the Pitch with an American Novice: The Soccer Learning Curve »
I spent most of my first year as a soccer fan confused. There were so many new terms and allusions that I couldn’t keep up. I soon realized that if I was going to enjoy this pastime, I needed to learn the vocabulary. I’m starting to get comfortable with some of the terminology, so for [...]

I played as a Bulldog on the gridiron of Georgia. I was taken by Boston in the 5th round, but the Patriots were not one of the two teams I played for professionally. During my 18-year career as a starting quarterback in the NFL my teams had a record of 6-5 in the [...]
Performance of the Week (POTW) 9/22-9/28 »
Who needs adequate rest? Certainly not CC Sabbathia. Pitching on three days rest (something he is becoming familiar with) Sabbathia tossed a complete game, 4 hitter as the Brew Crew clinched a post-season berth for the first time since Gorman Thomas, Cecil Cooper, Jim Gantner, and Paul Molitor roamed the diamond of County [...]
Irish Throttle Purdue »
Notre Dame rode a dominant second half to a convincing 38-21 win Saturday. The second half of this game was really the first time this season that the Irish displayed the type of sustained, versatile offense that fans have been hoping to see. What a welcome sight, though, as this followed a [...]
Who am I? »
As a starting quarterback in the NFL my teams went 6 and 5 in post-season contests. Two of those wins came on the last game of the season. I was an 8-time Pro Bowler, and twice I was selected First Team All Pro. I led the league in passing TDs one year, [...]
Saturday with the cards: The Houston Colt .45’s »
Prior to their current existence as the Astros the MLB team in Houston was known as the Colt .45’s. For three seasons (‘62-’64) the Colts played in …where else? Colt Stadium
Friday Flick 1.21 »
Call me a masochist, but with October ’round the corner, I need a chip on my shoulder.

Who am I? »
In my 14-year NBA career I averaged a double-double (20 pts. and 10 boards per game). Six different seasons I finished in the top ten for field goal percentage. I played in 8 All-Star games and earned the All-Star game MVP once. I ranked in the top ten for points per game [...]
