What's up, Braski, it's Sharkansas, stinkiest fish in the Wapsi. I love to disc golf while listening to KRNA on my Radio Pup App. Sometimes when I hear Incubus while at Legion Park in Marion, the plastic flies straighter. Don't deny the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. of the trajectory. Been doing this KRNA radio thing on and off for a decade and a half and couldn't be happier that it's being done here in Cedar Rapids. OK...San Diego would make me happier, but it would take longer to drive through traffic jams to get to the disc course discourse. Scenery would be better though. Come to think of it...does Townsquare Media serve California?

While I Show You My Faves, Sign In To Win Your OWN MLB Trip Anywhere In North America [VIDEO]
I love big league ballparks. My father and I used to go to Old Comiskey back in the day. The South Side was our home away from home every summer. Then came the 1990s and our cool, character-filled park was replaced by a football stadium.
The Sox built a monstrosity...
