I was kidding at the end, but I'm amazed Grote continues to get the kind of workload between 'SCR & 'BBM. Keep in mind Mark had his jaw wired shut for a time earlier this year...

If you listen to either 670 The SCORE or WBBM Newsradio 780 for any long period of time, you may have heard Mark Grote doing the updates on both CBS Radio-owned stations. On WSCR, Grote does the "Scoreboard Updates" during "Mully & Hanley in the Morning" and occasionally gives Kerry Sayers a breather doing the updates on "The Danny Mac Show" during the week. On WBBM, Grote occasionally does the sports updates at :15 & :45 past the hour during the week and definitely on weekends when the Bears aren't playing. This Sunday, for the second weekend in a row, thanks in large part to a late Bears' kickoff, Grote & NBC5's Bruce Wolf will be teaming up on SportsRadio 670 for three hours of local sports talk between 9a-Noon. I ask you folks, when does Mark ever get a breather? |

Actually SHARK, the average human being gets the following amounts of breaths in a given period:
[list=]17,280 times a day [/list] [list=]120,960 times a week over 52 weeks[/list] [/list] Of course, Im assuming Mark Grote is an average human being. |

For example, I dont hear "My Guy!" Mike Esposito much any more. |

The Chris Chelios-looking Mike Esposito is usually heard weekends on 670, and I think he'll be doing updates tomorrow during both the Grote/Wolf show & the Hub Arkush/Dan Hampton pregame show before the Bears/Bengals' game. "Espo" as he's known did the "Scoreboard Updates" the other night during Miller Lite's "Top Draft Show" that LoHo and the Bears' Israel Idonije did at Brownstone. |

I used to know someone in his family from back in high school. One day on Facebook I put two and two together as to who Mike Esposito actually was. If I ever run into him, I'll let him know the resemblence.

It's just an observation on my part after looking at Mike Esposito's photo & profile on 670thescore.com, Puckhead. I'm not insulting "Espo" when I think of Chelios...As Comcast SportsNet's Luke Stuckmeyer would say, "They Luke so much alike, they might be twins." I was a little surprised that "Espo" or even Connor McKnight wasn't doing updates tonight when Jason Goff was holding court. |

I didn't read a single line herin after a the first half of Shark's post, repeated by Puckhead's new avatar, then repeated the cycle thrice in a hypnotic rhythm. |

SHARK what do you mean "breather"? Euphemism? |
