As of Today, the Washington NFL Franchise will retire the Redskin nickname and logo. I only posted one live-blog with the Washington Franchise. It was against the Dolphins last fall. This is why I post live-blogs, it might become historical archives. The link to that post from my personal website is down below.
If you are seeing this text on the home page, click on Read More for the link to that post. Thank You. Today, I have decided to change the sports page on this website. 'Shish on Sports on paulshishkoffjr (PSJ)' is now 'Shish on Chicagoland Sports and Personal Fandom. In the next couple of months, it will have Chicago Baseball and Horse Racing.
I still plan on blogging this year's MLB Postseason, NFL Playoffs (If those leagues are able to play their seasons). |
