What a cool experience for you and the Culver’s crew. I’m old enough too! I graduated HS in 1986, watching Walter Payton dominate defenses and stacked rushing yards was an every game experience! So glad he was a Bear, got a championship! As a kid, a tried to run the ball like Walter with my friends in the playgrounds and backyard of Evanston. So glad to have his son for years doing GN Sports. And now the Score. We loved your sister Brittany checking out the Chicago food scene as WGN host too.
I totally can relate Mike, it's so special to be day dreaming looking out the window at countless, same ol' buildings block after block on a cold winter day and then the magnificent reveal that Wrigley Field is - covered in frost and snow - but only a few hundred feet from your el seat. Winter will pass!
In the Cubs' first home game after 9/11, Sammy Sosa and first base coach Billy Williams had a small American flag ready, so that *when* Sammy homered, they could offer this incredible tribute:
On September 11, 2001, an iconic photo captured a woman covered head-to-toe in yellow-grey ash after escaping the North Tower. Her name was Marcy Borders, and the world came to know her as the "Dust Lady."
But her survival story didn't end that day - it took a tragic turn years later when 🧵/1
@Scavino47 Say her name, Sheridan Gorman. A beautiful young woman. My love goes out to her family and friends. I never met them but I have daughters that same age, and my heart aches with this senseless tragedy. Chicago, Illinois, Loyola, Rogers Park, the Catholic Church must change.
Thanks for sharing Kathy, it’s foundational to have a job(s) as a kids. I had a newsstand (plus other jobs) for Sunday papers only, every Sunday 6:30 AM to 1:30PM age 8-22. Saved enough money for almost two years of tuition at private college ( stayed at home and commute). Loved running my own business and taking care of my customers, many of whom taught me about the world with great conversations about life, religion, business, real estate, media, everything. Loved it. It was hard considering the commitment, the hours and the weather 52 weeks a year in a Chicago suburb. Also, Kathy’s one of my favorite SI models from teen age years. Glad to see that you are thriving and doing interesting things still.
Jack, what a nice tribute and birthday wishes for your dad.
I know you guys from Evanston way back and Loyola. I’m so excited for him and your family and the MSU football program! My youngest daughter LA class of ‘25 is now at MSU. So stoked about all this. Happy Birthday #51. I remember that Rose Bowl team, unreal for those of us born in Evanston-always told why the Wildcats couldn’t win. They just needed a better defensive leader!
Go Green Go White.
@paytonsun J.P. sorry to hear this, glad you are ok. Deer in the road are so dangerous. By the way, My wife and I enjoy your broadcast and your fun personality.
I waited to reflect on Ryne Sandberg’s passing. As a player and a man there wasn’t many better. I called most of his games and what a player he became. After his career he showed what a classy person he was. His battles are over but his legacy lives on. I won’t forget him. RIP 23
This is cruel and stupid attack on her. Like her politics or not this is repugnant politics. Here is my testimony: I worked at the same law firm in Chicago before Michelle was married and she was a beautiful young woman who was a well paid attorney who was very serious and professional. And from everything thing I’ve seen on tv and the news since then she’s been a good mother. Anybody who continues with this nonsense is not a serious person.
