I recently visited New York a couple weeks ago and couldn’t help but compare the most populated American city to our fine city (third most populated in the U.S.).

Chicago: Is MMA tougher than the NFL?
Recently, I got into this ridiculous argument with a friend who I constantly get into pointless, farcical arguments with.

The argument is over the question: Which sport is [...]

1. Happy New Year everyone!

I guess it has always been human nature to lash out at others for displaying the traits we most hate in ourselves. 2. So the Cubs finally got rid of troublesome and underperforming [...]
The Chicago Haters Ball (All-around list)
Chicago is the third most populous metropolis (2.85 million) within the United States and the city’s natives don’t always cohabit in peace. No one can ever really agree due to the size of our city, but a few things the town can concur on are what’s good and bad in, & for, Chicago. We here [...]
10 Random Rants (Vol.5)

The one who leaves a mountain of used Kleenexes around them instead of in the garbage, where they belong. The person who neither covers their nose or mouth when coughing and sneezing. Yeah you. I don’t [...]
