This week's installment of "Big League Chooch" is from Ryan's flag football game. A funny thing happened when we played it back this week. Jess admitted that she takes a certain headache medication to cope with "The Chooch".

In the wake of the tragedy of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi, I couldn't help but think of how my dad was the ultimate girl dad.

It's now basketball season and my son Ryan is learning a new sport. He is on a CYO team and I go to all of his games. I am his biggest and loudest fan. So I get mic-ed up and record my obnoxious cheering. We call it "Big League Chooch".

I am a super fan and the loudest at my son, Ryan's, games. We are now into flag football season and Ryan loves to play almost as much as I love to cheer him on. Some may think my boisterous cheering is on the borderline obnoxious. During Ryan's football games, I am mic-ed up and known as, "Big League Chooch".

Justin Moore is not only a superstar in country music, he also coaches both of his daughters' softball teams. I am embarking on coaching my son's little league team so I asked Justin for some coaching tips.

The internet can be a great place, but then it can also be a place where people try to scam you out of money. Apparently, there's a scam going around locally that is doing just that - watch out!

We are embarking on our son, Ryan, getting involved in sports. As much as we want him to be able to experience all sports, we are realizing that it is very expensive. First up, baseball.

How often do you look at Facebook during the day while you work? Probably just enough to stay informed informed, while keeping up with the demands of the job.  Facebook just announced a partnership that may make you a tad less productive at work (don't worry, we won't tell) with this potentially historic new sports merger.

I can hear your brains thinking right now; sounds a bit like a 1999 Firebird revving its engine after a few years in the garage.
