Chris Pisani Story

Well, so far I have had no issues with the Chris Pisani story. This weekend, the team played in Fort Wayne, Ind. I rode the bus with the team, so I was able to talk to Pisani and got an excellent interview out of him.

I was unable to interview the team trainer because once we made it to the arena, both of us were busy with our own stuff. Practice is Tuesday, so I will talk to him them during practice.

Pisani's mom is another source, and she is available any time, it's just my schedule we are working with. I hope to talk to her this Wednesday.

A problem I face is talking to people from Pisani's past. He did not keep in close contact with anyone, friends, teachers and former coaches included. He is getting back to me with someone by tomorrow so I can have a perspective different from his mother's about his past.

On Wednesday, I hope to also get footage from when he was in the wheelchair. I plan to head out to Oak Brook to the Pisani household to interview his mom and view the footage. Pisani said I can copy it, or I may bring a video recorder of my own and copy it that way.

In all, I am confident in my story. Chris Pisani has a great story.

Finally!!

What a week in sports! First, the Bears FINALLY made a bold move and traded for a QB. Don't get me wrong, Orton has been decent, but he has not been consistent. Cutler is only 25, but he has been to the Pro Bowl. When is the last time the Bears had a QB worthy of the Pro Bowl? Hmmm it has been quite some time.

Also, baseball is back! The Cubs kick off the season in a little less than an hour. I am thrilled. Life without baseball isn't really life at all. I love that games are nearly every day from now until (hopefully) October. I am looking forward to this season.

The Cubs have let me down in the past. I was rather unhappy at the end of last season, but this is a new season. Time to let the bitterness go and welcome the new team this new year.

Also, MSU is my pick for the NCAA College Basketball Tournament. Let's see if they can do it this year!

Let's go Cubs and Spartans! And thank you Angelo for showing you have it in you to make those big trades! Come on Chicago sports!
