My 8+ year tenure at the Score came to an end today. I was lucky to work with and learn from so many great people.
I’m proud I was able to work at the station that got me into the medium but it doesn’t make the reality any less painful that I had a job I loved & now I don’t.
Mahomes and Watson combined for 6 TD passes in the first half. Mitch Trubisky threw his 6th TD pass with :32 left in the 2nd quarter of week 10.

I wasn't expecting today to be my last at the Score but here we are.
I'm still a lucky guy: I have incredibly supportive family & friends, love being part of 4for4 & the I'm Fat Podcast waddles on. Today's a huge gut punch but I'm looking forward to what opportunities come next.
Working with Les was part of a producer's education at the Score. Les' patience for people learning in their role was rare. Even rarer, is he never complained about going up to 7 hours solo and prioritizing being there for his listeners and callers the way Les did. A true legend.
The support here today has been unreal and I can’t thank everyone enough. I’ll work at thanking people tomorrow…but we’ve got game 6. Let’s have some fun and I hope the basketball season doesn’t join my Score tenure in ending today.
The tributes to Les will continue on
@670TheScore
from 9-12 today with
@markgrotesports
and myself. We'll share memories, take your calls and talk with friends.
Happy to say my family was able to get a wheelchair accessible van. I’ll never to be able to properly thank everyone who donated & made this possible. It sucks being in a position to need to ask for help but everyone’s kindness has blown my family away. Thank you all so much. 🙏
My brother Shane turns 24 today & I couldn’t be prouder of the man he is. Every time circumstance or his body betrays him, he pushes through & not only succeeds but defies all expectations. He’s an inspiration & while he doesn’t care about getting praise, no one deserves it more.

Last one, I promise. Thank you to my family. I don't have the flexibility to get to this point in my career without them. My mom and my brothers are incredible people. I wish my dad could be here to hopefully say he's proud and excited for me...but he still hates Bernstein.
Gov. Mike Parson: “These kids have got to get back to school.... And if they do get COVID-19, which they will — and they will when they go to school — they’re not going to the hospitals.... They’re going to go home and they’re going to get over it.”
Thank you to everyone who’s reached out! Sunday was incredible & I’m overjoyed to have found my person. Having people that care & truly want to help you through the bad days, so you can get to these great ones, is a luxury I am lucky to have. Here’s to all the great days to come.

have to go through the same crap I did just sucks. I feel like I grew up at the station with them. Smart people/companies should reach out to them ASAP.
(Naperville IL) Peaceful heart shaped signs with BLM on them, yet yelled at & ripped down from people driving by. Absolute disgusting, but not surprised.
Appreciation thread:
Happy 22nd birthday to my brother Shane.
He is the strongest person I know. To be the active person & athlete he was and have his body betray him the way it is has, is something I couldn’t even fathom going through and he does it with a positive attitude.
I've learned a lot about myself in the past year and I believe I'm better for it, I know my personal life is. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had and that I've been able to stay in the industry, but like many, the search for full-time work continues.
I wasn't expecting today to be my last at the Score but here we are.
I'm still a lucky guy: I have incredibly supportive family & friends, love being part of 4for4 & the I'm Fat Podcast waddles on. Today's a huge gut punch but I'm looking forward to what opportunities come next.
Hey
#BullsNation
, after Cubs postgame, I'll be live on

talking to you about the hiring of Billy Donovan! Listen and chime in on the new

head coach and the direction of the organization.
APOLOGY...
On the new
@ImFatPod
, I made an error that I truly regret.
When talking Skittles, I referred to the red Skittle as cherry. I know it’s strawberry, I had Starbursts on the mind. I hope everyone realizes this mistake is not indicative of who I am as a fat.
#ImAFat
I was aware of my industry mortality & to make it here is wild. Many people checked in on me at that time & I'm grateful for that. Special thank you to
@LaurenceWHolmes
for giving me a platform to prove I could still do this. I didn't realize how much I needed that, thank you. 3/
The best prep the
#Bears
did for this game was getting Romo all the talking points for why this team is talented and definitely shouldn't have traded anyone at the deadline.
For a front office that loves defense and effort (even in the context of a Hoiberg team), how did they look at Jabari Parker and say yes, this is a guy we need?

THREAD: Every year on this date, I think of the events of that day and subsequent week I spent grieving with friends with no one on campus. I think of the Dubowski, Garcia, Gehant, Mace and Parmenter families. I think of the feeling of the 1st event on campus with students back.
As someone that grew up listening to the station, being in an EP spot now is kind of crazy to get my head around and I thank
@MitchRosen670
for trusting me with the position. 2/
The 1st episode of the Basketball Camp pod is up! I went over cuts from the Karnisovas-Reinsdorf conference call, what they mean & what’s next in the
#Bulls
overhaul. (Waiting on Apple approval)
For most of my dad's life, he was an over the road truck driver and when we'd talk about sports, you could hear how much he listened to Les and how much having that companion meant. It's a tough shift but Les made it his and there are a lot of people that thank him for it.
Also, I should point out...
@JayZawaski670
isn't half bad either...as a co-worker, co-host and friend. I learned a ton of how to be a day-to-day producer by working with and observing Jay.
