Les Grobstein was an eccentric savant w/ astounding total recall . Armed w/ that archaic mic, Les captured every sound bite of Chicago sports history. A constant, a fixture. We always celebrated the distinction of being the only ones to get Lee Elia’s infamous rant. RIP Grobber

So Instead of just owning up to the missed kick, Eddy Piniero runs his mouth about the ball being on the wrong hash mark then back tracks . You’re a kicker . STFU. The only K who can get away with talking about anything is Robbie Gould

Obviously, it was time for a media market like Chicago to have a female lead sports anchor and obviously, I’m biased but seriously?! ..this just really magnifies the ridiculous mistake that other station made in not promoting Dionne Miller more than a year ago.
