May his memory be a blessing. I told him when he got on the mend the next round of golf was on me. For a short time I was Linโs emergency golfer. Heโd call me once in a while and say he had a tee time in an hour, could I make it? Iโm glad I did.
Obama: โWhat Hamas did was horrific, and there is no justification for it. And what is also true is that the occupation, and whatโs happening to Palestinians, is unbearableโฆ

I am so sad about the death of Les Grobstein. Whenever I had some crazy morning shift on the radio, I would listen to him on the drive in. Mitch, Iโm so glad you gave him this gig. And the SCORE treated him with great affection. Years
Canโt wait for Kamala โThat girl was meโ Harris to personalize the debates with Trump. โโYou assaulted women, Mr. Trump. Well, there was a big girl who had an affair with the mayor of San Francisco. And that big girl was me!โ
My sources say heโs changing the sports station to

@AndrewCMcCarthy
always makes the best points. Just now on Fox: Kavanaugh was confirmed by 21 votes 12 years ago and has been affirmed repeatedly by SCOTUS, but NOW he's a danger? Also, his OCare reasoning calculated to decide narrowly so that the people, not the courts, rule.
Whatโs the number of times The SCORE has talked about NU baseball in the stationโs existence? Maybe twice. Once perhaps w/ Joe Girardi, and once yesterday. Also, love the revelation that the coach is a sexist. This coming on a station that employs one woman one day a week on air.
Brittney Griner, who Joe Biden traded a Russian arms dealer for to secure her freedom, says it should be a crime, a crime!, for states to prevent men from identifying as women and winning womenโs championships:
One time Iโm listening to XRT and a song ends, and Lin backsells it in that dry manner of his: โElton John. โSaturday Nightโs Alright for Fighting.โ โฆ tough guy.โ
Adam, wish I had a radio show to talk to you about this! Lemme read a bunch of articles from National Review on this and put them in a Teleprompter for me to read when I face you in the Republican primary for Senate. We had a chance to choke Biden, Adam. We had a chance!

Remembering Gilbert Gottfried on the anniversary of his birthday. We miss him so much. Watch for a salute to him in our show this Saturday night on MeTV.
Jimmy Kimmel just scorched earth on Aaron Rodgers!
โA guy who went to community college, then got into Cal on a football scholarship & didnโt graduateโฆ Aaron Rodgers got two Aโs on his report card, and they were both in the word, โAaronโ.โ

"Wheel of Fortune" host Pat Sajak is "resting comfortably" after undergoing emergency surgery to correct a blocked intestine, the show announced Friday.
Dick Johnson was so warm when I came to Channel 5. The morning show went to a play once where they made fun of his double entendre name, and he loved it. He and I had inside jokes. May his memory be a blessing.
Senior reporter Laura Rodriguez decided to strike because she knows journalists of color deserve to be paid as much as their counterparts here

So then Carol Marin, who used to write a leftist column for the Sun-Times, never shouldโve been allowed at a press conference because she was openly and notoriously partisan, right?

So if
@AmyJacobson
reads this portion of a New York Times op-ed to Gov. Pritzker, does she deserve to be denounced by the governor, or is she just asking a good question like a journalist is supposed to?
Iโll never forget after our wedding ceremony in Evanston taking Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Drive to the Drake for our wedding reception. โDrakeโ? Ugh. How about the Lightfoot Inn? Even โChicagoโ conjures up images of bad times. Why not a fresh start? Why not โPottersvilleโ?
Ch. 5 pulled the ad showing the woman being mugged in Lakeview because Ch. 5 is terrified of its audience. (Just like Rush Limbaugh was terrified of his.) Actually, Ch. 5 listens to one viewer, an old hag named Laverne. You think Iโm kidding about this.
@danproft
Iโm sure Dan Bernstein and company at The SCORE are outraged over the cover-up. Meanwhile, Iโm sure than Dan, expert on all matters, is equally outraged that former President Obama wants parents to shut up about a rape that occurred in a school bathroom.
Happy birthday to this fella, who approached me in a Chicago night spot 20+ years ago, when he was weeks away from leaving a job he had held for 8 years. (He had quite the serious entourage.) He wanted to talk movies, and he seemed like an affable sort, so I obliged. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ป๐คฃ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐ฝ๏ธ
The antisemitic and hate-filled language used by Donald Trump is disgusting and unAmerican. The refusal of elected Republicans to denounce it makes them collaborators. We canโt let the extremists back in power. We know where this leads.
Ballgame.
The Bears will leave Green Bay with a 17-9 loss, 10-loss season and the dread of the Packers going to the playoffs.

Krause was a jerk. He never drafted Jordan. Jordan and Pippen hated his guts. He never helped the bench. Rodney McCray was 5 years too late.
A question to debate at your Christmas meal or Chinese restaurant: Has the combination of the November election results plus a bear market plus the departure of Mattis begunโat last!โ to shake Republican support for Trump?
Biden: "I don't think there is sufficient information to know why he targeted that synagogue why he insisted on the release of someone who's been in prison for over 10 years... why he was using anti-Semitic & anti-Israeli comments."
BREAKING:
@670TheScore
has reported that Northwestern baseball head coach Jim Foster has created a "toxic environment in the program" and "broken the spirit of this team."
The report also said Foster "made inappropriate comments about a female staff member."
So Aaron Rodgers and Erin Andrews stand the obligatory six feet apart for the post-game on-field interview, but then theyโre shown hugging each other afterward.

Yes, blame Trump, JB. Meantime, you couldโve shut the bars yesterday, and just today Lightfoot ordered bars and restaurants to allow only half capacity. So you Dems are doing this on the fly, too, and couldnโt get your act together.
So, like, you didnโt have any problems putting money into the Rickettsesโ pockets when they were paying millions to a wife abuser who played a pivotal role in winning a World Series for your Cubbela Wubbelas, did you?
I think you were ashamed to be a white male long before Trump. You were ashamed to be a white male when Bush was president. You were ashamed to be a white male when Romney ran for president. And thatโs why you got Trump.

I remember after a couple of the championships Jerry Krause was just standing there, away from the locker room mob scene, and I went up to him each time with a camera guy and asked him how this one ranked among the titles, and he said โTheyโre like your kids. All special.โ
Got to ask Butkus once about that incident in which he allegedly bit a refโs finger. He snarled. What a thrill. Butkus and Ditka, those hard kโs and tโs that somehow spell โGrabowski.โ Dick Butkus went Hollywood but he never left Chicago. Never will.
Should I copyright this? Lightfoot and Pritzker are Laurie & Hardy. Or is this just another fine mess of a pre-1960 reference Iโve gotten myself into?

NEW: FANI WILLIS speaks after allegations of paying lover to prosecute Trump:
โYou cannot expect black women to be perfect. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. We are all sinnersโฆโ
I haven't seen such anti-Rooski feelings since Joe McCarthy. And it's the Democrats! They're all Scoop Jacksons now. They'd still be in Russian reset mode if Hillary had been elected. As it is, Trump's already walked it back via tweet.
Now that Trump is being called a traitor, he should immediately declassify all the documents related to the Trump-Russia investigation conducted by Obama's DOJ and we'll see who the real traitors are...
โIโm a public figure,โ said Mayor Lightfoot in defending her decision to get her hair done. Remember that every time you accuse President Trump of narcissism. The mask has come off the mayor. Literally.
The guy was actually in-studio a couple of times with Steve & Garry and laughed both times at Chet Chitchat. That characteristic giggle. A couple of my biggest thrills.
Remember who warned you first this guy was a total fraud of a โconservative.โ Heโs the Al Sharpton of the NeverTrump Right, a race hustler with nothing to offer but nonstop bleating about a racist America.
Chet was the first guy to take a minicam into the Bears locker room and interview the players as if he were conducting a congressional inquiry into our involvement in the Vietnam War. He was a hoot. Glad to have seen him recently.
I have memories of being on it! Subbed for Telander a couple of times. One time Jauss, who had been an instructor of mine at Northwestern, really ripped into me. Then he made me feel worse at an airport sometime later by saying he felt bad about it. Good times. Loved those guys.
In the next episode of Vanished Chicagoland Stories The Podcast, I will discuss The Sportswriters on TV show that aired on the Sportsvision Channel in Chicago. Do you have any memories of watching the show? It coming up soon!
So Jonathon Brandmeier is interviewing Cosell on the radio, Cosell is talking about a course in sports heโs teaching at Yale, and I say โYouโre teaching a sports course at Yale?โ He says, โyes.โ I say โfor credit?โ Click. He hangs up. Johnny loved it. So did I. Career highlight.
Israeli warplanes struck parts of the Gaza Strip in relentless bombardment Saturday, hitting some of the dwindling bits of land it had told Palestinians to evacuate to in the territoryโs south.
Iโm hoping when I die they say โsecond-rate sportscaster who never attended an event, loved the sound of his own voice, mispronounced โKukocโ as โKoo-kichโ for several years, was vindictive, spent the last 40 years of his life tweeting, never broke 80 after 2017.โ

So Steve Dahl, Garry Meier and Jonathon Brandmeier all made the Radio Hall of Fame. I worked with all of them but am not worthy. I can't even get into Chicago tv's Silver Circle Jerk, but Lilia Chacon does. I worked longer in Chicago tv and people actually saw me. Poor me!
Some day there will be no Fatherโs Day. As there is no longer Washingtonโs birthday (for the father of our country), but just a generic Presidents Day, there will be a Parents Day. โCause, you know, we canโt say a kid needs a father and a mother. Itโs insensitive.
@JonahNRO
Colin Jost on SNL Weekend Update ripped Trump for racism right before MLK holiday and wondered what Trump would say before Passover. I don't know what Trump will say, but I do know Jews on Passover say "Thank you, God, for delivering us from that sh--hole, Egypt."
Valentineโs Day ... 1964: appendectomy; 2006: fired by Fox; 2008: fired by NBC (nicely); 2020: golf lesson that I had set up weeks ago canceled because instructor has the flu. Today is the worst Valentineโs Day ever.
So what does Brandon want? Brandon wants the selective enrollment students - the kids who get straight A's and score 98th & 99th percentile of NWEA testing - to be mixed in with these kids โฌ๏ธ
Equity, y'all. Great work Chicago!!! You voted for a clown you get a circus.
How much work do you think he did on the cease-fire? One minute? Theyโre really trying too hard to show heโs fit. Pretty sure most Democrats agree.
Doug Buffone, especially after a Bears loss, is one of the greatest phenomena in Chicago radio history. It was like the WLS coverage of the Hindenburg, only both heartfelt and funny. I was lucky enough to sit in one day and co-host with Doug on The Score. He was a sweetheart. And
Doug Buffone passed away 9 years ago today. I wrote this after he passed away. I/we miss Doug everyday. A Score guy forever Rosen: We Still Miss Doug Buffone Every Day - CBS Chicago
Mayor Lightfoot now thanking the governor for superseding her order today to have restaurants and bars open at half capacity. Yeah, mayor, you rip Trump while you canโt get your act together with Pritzker and are doing this on the fly like everyone else.
