Sportswriters legend. Bentley, Jauss, Gleason and the then young Telander! This was the start of all Chicago sports media in Chicago!

The guy was a great writer!

During the Jordan years he came to every game, sat front row, had a cheese sandwich wrapped in wax paper, classic old school!

Sorry, I was a huge Sprtswriters fan,but the longer I watched the more I became annoyed with the young starry eyed writer (Telander) and the crusty,old liberals who constantly used the show to display their bizarre opinions.

Creator of the quote about some sportswriter being bigger than Michael Jordan.

Loved the crusty old basterd. I never read a word he wrote.
