A Brief Rant on Chicago Sports Broadcasters

May 21, 2009 – 8:11 am

Normally the “Not Hockey” section is for talking about any sport that isn’t one of the big four.  But since this post covers sportscasters from two different sports, I figured I should put it here.  This post won’t really be understood outside of Chicago media circles (except in Green Bay, which we will get to [...]
