Many years later, I still remember that famous players’ chant: “All my life, I wanna be a Brickie. WORK! WORK! WORK!”

Good points.

Not at all. Buzea doesn’t walk on water but knows how to build a program with players and coaches who aren’t afraid to make sacrifices. He’s been doing it for years wherever he held a clipboard and whistle.

Felt like we sent an army of reporters to the wildly-hyped up Oct. 15, 1988 “Catholics vs. Convicts” slugfest between No. 4 Notre Dame and No. 1 Miami, winning of 36 straight regular season games. Lou Holtz vs. Jimmy Johnson. Mercy. Irish won, 31-30, on way to a national title.

A huge high-five to Chesterton for winning its first football sectional. Coach Mark Peterson, take a bow. There were some great coaches before you — Ray Banary, Bill Dorulla, Mike Jennings and John Snyder — with good teams and exceptional players, but couldn’t survive postseason.

NWI fans wonder why Crown Point is so damn good, year after year. Two words: Craig Buzea. Here’s a savvy coach who inspires players just by entering the room and knows how to pick a multi-skilled staff most opponents would love to have.

Defensive or offensive future? I’d say QB. Looks like a leader.

Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times YES! Caleb Williams is the real deal, has all the tools, is potentially the Bears’ greatest QB ever, and will only get better if he stays healthy. Once highly-regarded Mitch Trubisky, Justin Fields, Rex Grossman and Jay Cutler were only a tease.

Not versatile enough for big-market TV like Chicago. Ravi seldom did interviews on the street during huge breaking news events (storms not included) and was used primarily as an evening anchor. Given his salary, was more of a pinch-hitter than lead-off hitter in ABC lineup.

Don’t you dare touch the one in Schererville.

With Congressional oversight soon to become a reality, thankfully, I promise to do my best to refrain from political posts.

Your ‘walks’ are like a tour of National Geographic.

So the Bulls get embarrassed, again, this time by the NY Knicks, giving up 84 points the first half and trailing by as many 44 in the game. This is going to be a l-o-n-g season, like walking the Chicago Marathon.

“The Natural” — wasn’t that a movie?

We’re so lucky as NWI sports fans: The Bears, Notre Dame, Indiana and Purdue basketball, all within driving distance.

I appreciate ONE thing: He gave new life to Mike Myers’ career on SNL by doing the best Elon impersonation ever.

Thank you. I can remove my ear plugs.

America speaks. Love ya, Bob.

He’s got geniuses working for him but as a human being, he’s a total loser. No empathy (remember DOGE?) No common sense. No character. Immature. Greedy. Corrupt as you-know-who. Creepy. Arrogant. Cowardly. Can’t put a sentence together. What a clown.

No more buying elections. Elon Musk can take his $224 million Texas ‘bribe’ and shove it. He’s as stupid as he is rich. What a waste. Think of the good his millions could’ve done where desperately needed. But that would require having a soul.
