And sometimes fans will do almost ANYTHING to pledge their allegiance to a person, a group, or a specific thing. Hey, people are kind of insane. I’ve been a lifelong Chicago Blackhawks game and...

I used to have a job with an absolutely crazy schedule. Once, we worked five days a week from noon until 6 a.m. for FIVE WEEKS. That’s 18 hours a day for those of you keeping track… As you can imagine, it was totally exhausting and sometimes by the time I was heading home when...
