Very good listen.

Good pairing, and since all five teams suck, it's an easy day for Uncle Terry.

Terry really does seem to know baseball. Basketball was his sport, I think, but it doesn't seem like he keeps up on it as much anymore.

Football was always his undoing.

I'm listening to him and Shep today and it's a decent listen. Even though Shep has a face for radio and a voice for producing.

I'd like to hear his thoughts on this 10 part ESPN series on the 90's Bulls.

is that out yet? They mentioned it briefly....

Terry is with Hub next. Wonder if he'll bash him the way he used to.

Yup, Terry used to make fun of Hub's inept Bears thoughts, especially when he would go out of his way to defend "sweaty Teddy" or the McCaskey's. In fact, most of the hosts ripped Hub, Bernstein has appointed fellow tribesman Hub as the ultimate Bears authority and now nobody is allowed to question his Bears acumen. The current climate at the station prohibits hosts from questioning Bears ownership, a radical departure from the early days of the station where the hosts had a field day ripping the team. To this day Hub quickly shuts down questions from callers that challenge Ted Phillips or George McCaskey.

Last week on Sports Talk Live show Hub ripped the Ricketts family. Basically saying they had contributed nothing to the community, and that any success the cubs had was due to Theo. Hub gave off the impression that any Cub budget issues were overblown by the family. I think he even hinted at the idea of not renewing his season tickets. Hub did admit he did not agree with the Ricketts on issues outside baseball which is a reason he has never liked the Ricketts family (politics obviously).

Fast forward a few days later after the Bear loss to KC, and a fan called in to the station and said that the Bears would never win with the McCaskey's owning the team. Hub immediately jumped to the McCaskey's defense and said that no, they were not the problem.

If you are going to go after the Ricketts, after five consecutive winning seasons and World Series title (along with renovating Wrigley Field), it's then hard to defend the McCaskey family with 5 winning seasons in 13 years.

Didn't you just say that Hub ripped the Ricketts for doing nothing in the community?

Because Hub knows that the opposite of that is true with the McCaskeys.

Well the Ricketts renovation of Wrigley Field was done out of their pockets as well, so it would be fair to reap some of the benefits. And what would have happened to the neighborhood had the Cubs left Wrigley? Would all those bars, establishments and some of those local businesses have survived?

And honestly this argument is not my main point. Virginia McCaskey may be an angel, fine. But Hub ripping the Cubs ownership after 5 consecutive winning seasons and a World Series win and giving them no credit then defending the McCaskey ownership after another lost season, do you find that at all strange?

Lol at the hypocrites bashing the Ricketts. You wanna talk about commitment to the community? Lets talk about Reisndorf getting a stadium for basically free(1 mil lease) on the backs of the Illinois taxpayers.

All of the benefits. What businesses are better off besides the Cubs because of the renovations?

Every single resident and business within walking proximity of Wrigley Field benefits from the investments made by the Ricketts family. The Ricketts family had zero to do with the growth and explosion of the neighborhood, but by bringing a championship and investing in the ballpark / surrounding area is good for all. Yes, it's good for the Ricketts family themselves you can't deny it benefits those who live and own businesses there.
