Nick & Derek are "On The Sticks", a Chicago Sports Podcast. Here for the cheap beer and expensive bets. Or is it the other way around? Let's turn the game on, set our fantasy lineups, and chop it up for a bit. Cycling through all the current sports news, and of course talk our Chicago sports. With interviews & guests from various sports realms (or just sports fans lol). Bring a controller, lets run a few games, and talk about who your picking up off the waiver wire.
