Slaughter Rush Out with First Win

Instead of Allstate, it was the Sears Centre. The blue and silver was replaced by black and red. Coach Hohensee wasn’t on the sideline. Instead he was waiting in line with ticket in hand. The press box was in a different area. Instead of the Rush, this was the Chicago Slaughter. Yet the success and even some of the faces made this game feel a little like déjà vu.

Summer of Lovie

Discontent is a winter-time problem. At least it was in Shakespeare’s time when he penned (or quilled, rather) “Richard III.” Though, it should be noted that Shakespeare never had to drive the Edens on a Friday afternoon in February through a rush-hour blizzard, so what the hell did he know about discontent?
