As one fantastically bad restaurant said, “TGIF”.  You’ve got a few hours before you crack open that first High Life and start strategizing about how you will arrange your homemade fireworks to most efficiently blow up anthills, your nephew’s Thomas the Train toys, and maybe even some volleyball equipment. Before that awesome display of destruction begins, let’s learn a bit about our favorite Spikeballer this week, Meaghan D. Where do you live? Park Forest (Editor’sRead more…

Aloha from the tropical beaches of Playa de Spike de Ball.  I’ve been getting some great responses from you all on the Spikeballer series.  In addition to the never ending notes of “you suck, Chris” I’ve been getting some saying how big Spikeball is getting in their town/city.  One of those is a little gem called Milwaukee.  Not familiar?  Yes you are…as the great Alice Cooper said… “In fact , it’s pronounced “mill-e-wah-que” which isRead more…

It’s not everyday that you can say you have something in common with someone from a boy band.  Folks, buckle in cuz, 2 day is the day….you feelin’ me?  That’s right, this week’s Spikeballer of the Week, Mr Aaron C is in fact a member of “Mayne Street”.  Yep- as in, “Hotties with bodies we’re the Mayne Street Boys”. Awwwwww yea, grrrrrlllllllll.  You know, I’ve been wantin’ to…uhhh uhhhh.  Mmmm, yeaaaaa….uhhh.  (Cue: goatee singer withRead more…

Mr C. Mullen withstood a painful strip search to get to us but eventually made it to receive his Spikeballer of the Week award. You know what makes this Spikeballer so special? Is it the fact that he’s going to spend a life drilling, cleaning, gagging, and shining br…ight lights in people’s faces (occupation?)? No, what separates him from the rest of you slugs is that he helped started the World’s First Intramural Spikeball LeagueRead more…

Friday morning, already?  Yep, shutdown Outlook and anything else work related and enjoy this week’s Spikeballer of the Week. Mr B Moxley stopped by Studio 3B for his interrogation a few days ago.  He’s a student so I’m guessing we can all learn something from him.  Sit up straight and read on… * Where do you live? Arlington Heights * Best vacation? Aruba, they have the sunniest beaches prime for spikeballing it up. * WorstRead more…

Hey Everyone, It’s that time of year again, Spikeball League play.  Despite Mother Nature doing everything she could to stop Spikeball last Summer we still had great turnouts.  We had some pretty amazing competitions- amongst Spikeball veterans and rookies.  Enough of the chit chat, here’s what you need to know… POST GAME BEERS This is the most important part of this email: post game beers and food will be at McGinny’s (313 W North Ave). Read more…

Hey Everyone, Glad to hear you all like our new Spikeballer of the Week series. It’s truly a great way to honor those that put in the hours to help the kids. This week’s Baller of the Week takes a little different turn though. Kids be afraid… The directions for SBOTW are pretty easy: answer some questions and send me 2 pictures. One of you playing Spikeball and the other can be whatever you want. Our good friend, CongressmanRead more…

In order to honor some of the heroes of Spikeball we’ve decided to start naming a ‘Spikeballer of the Week.” It’s kind of like a weekly Nobel prize but pays $999,996 less. That’s right, this baby comes with a $4 cash prize. On to our baller of the week… Congrats to Jamie V of Darien, CT on being the first ever Spikeballer of the Week. We caught up with Jamie in our studio and askedRead more…

Just a quick note…due to some great feedback from last year’s Spikeball League we are doing it again.  There will be one minor change though.  Some of our league members complained of their clothing not allowing them to move as freely as they’d like to.  Spikeball, The League will be clothing optional this year.  ‘Body’ shots anyone? OK, maybe not. This is a long way of saying, your Tuesday nights have now been filled forRead more…
