About
Welcome to B-Team Bombers.com, a website dedicated to all things sports with a little pop culture thrown in and spreading love for all things Chicago. This site has been ten years in the making, as three high school teammates from the Chi-Town area have spent most of the past decade shooting the shit about sports, pop culture, and imaginary conquests of women. This site will be dedicated to the first two.
It all started in the summer of '99 as a bunch of scrubs stood on the sideline and watched the A Team freshmen football team practice. "This is hell" said Will, "It's 104 degrees out and I can't even take off my helmet?" "You think you have problems?" Bill griped, "I weigh 150 LBS soaking wet and they want me to play guard." "Nice acne," quipped Will. "Sweet haircut," Bill replied.
That's when Sean walked up and produced a guitar - seemingly out of nowhere and proceeded to write a song about not arguing at football practice. As Will and Bill started to explain to Sean that blazing before football practice was a bad idea, they slowly began to realize that this was just Sean being Sean and no amount of ganja could top the essence of “HefNasti”. This theory would be tested, but never disproved over the next ten years.
Sean, of course, would have the last laugh as he would go on to be a two year varsity starter, winning major awards and being quoted in local papers talking about getting monkeys off his back and the art of the spin move, while Will and Bill continued to ride the bench - of course, by the time they finished high school, their prayers were answered as Will traded in his helmet for a backwards hat (thank you Johnny Moxon) and Bill finally "bulked up" - an unfortunate trend that continues to this day.
Bill and Will eventually moved to opposite coasts chasing the almighty dollar while Sean continued to pursue music and Irish women in the Windy City. This website is a celebration of the two things they still have in common - Humble beginnings as B-Team Bombers at Loyola Academy and a love of sports (coupled with way too much free time).
So read it, give us feedback, argue with us, tell us we suck, tell us you love us - but, for the love of God, get involved! So join us for some sweaty, Chicago biased, always exciting sports banter and we promise to keep writing. As far as quality of work goes, I think my fictional friend Lenny Haise put it best when he said, "Hey - I make no guarantees".
Enjoy!
