What an asshole. This should be in Douchebag of the Week.
I'd have to say I prefer pretty much all those he mentioned over Coppock himself.
Why would an unemployed sports talked talk shit about so many people in the biz? What the hell is he trying to do? This is like drinking career hemlock.

Excuse me, but where is Tom Shaer? This must have been done before the webbio fiasco.

I'm with Darkside. Who is this pompous blowhard to make a list like that?

He's got a good point on most of these people but, really, Chet's a moron and is pathetic and probably hates himself.

Chet's quotes below

12. Neil Funk
Voice of the Bulls. Excites me to the point that I’ll usually blow him off to watch one of the 14 stations running Law and Order.

11. Ryan Baker
Too much jock-sniffing. Too much yelling. The Cubs putting a tenth-rate pitcher on waivers doesn’t really require busting one’s spleen.

10. Johnny Morris
Retired. Look for him at Hawthorne. If he hadn’t played for the Bears, he would have spent 32 years anchoring in Omaha.

9. Hub Akrush
Spent years kissing McCaskey family butts.

8. Megan Mawicke
Shouldn’t she be home doing the laundry?

7. Dan Bernstein
The kind of guy who can make you question why the human race exists.

6. Dan Roan
It’s a lock. He will complete his career at WGN having never broken a story.

5. Bob Hillman
For the life of me, I can't find a photo of Bob Hilman so I'm going with this picture of Mr. Ed, who would have done a better job. If you can’t recall his days at WGN, consider yourself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

4. Mark Malone
Can you say rotten?

3. Jeff Blanzy
Did you know he spent 11 years at WLS-TV?

2. Pat Tomasulo
WGN’s answer to Beaver Cleaver.

1. Gail Fischer
Should know the phrase “high and outside” by 2011.

Nice sexist remark towards Megan Mawicke. How the fuck did John Kelly miss the cut?

Chet must have figured that his career in Chicago radio was over at the time this was published and went for the sensational angle.

He should have said that he smoked crystal meth with Andre Agassi.

Chet Coppock must have forgotten that Jon Kelley (that's how his name is spelled) was once NBC5's #1 sportscaster when Mark Giangreco bolted over to ABC7 in the early '90s, A7X. Needless to say, the former University of Nebraska football player bumbled & stumbled as badly as current NBC5 weekend sports guy Mike Adamle. This was before Jon left Chicago completely and shifted to entertainment news as a reporter and occasional anchor of the syndicated "Extra", long before Mario Lopez took over hosting duties this past September.

If a "s" from the title was missing it would be dead on.

I don't believe Jon Kelley was on Chet's list Sharky.
Someone mentioned he SHOULD be.

The only contribution Jon Kelly ever made was pummling Danny Bonaduce for charity after Bonaduce got cocky after whipping Donny Osmand.

Jon Kelley is now "talent developing" aspiring young anchors with the likes of Joan Esposito at J2 Strategic Communications.

Bigfan shot my 1 post Horace Grant mult, so just assume the joke was made.

Dave, Jon Kelley should be on the "Worst Sportscaster" list. That's why I mentioned and spelled his name correctly to boot.

That's what I thought it said. I saw the title and didn't read the read, saw the article on the Trib's site and clicked through just looking at the pictures and the quotes and didn't get why Chet wasn't #1. I then read the thing and saw it was by Chet. His Mawicke quote is complete trash

Like Chet's Bernsie love. And to those who listened to early morning shows, as well as NBC (?) weekend sportscasts, yeah, Shaer should be on that list.

No list of the worst is complete without Tom Zenner and his wide collars.

Chet forgot himself. He's one of the absolute worst I've ever heard. Anytime I was having trouble sleeping I could tune into his show and fall right asleep

Agreed. Ryan Baker makes Chet's list and yet Chet leaves off the intolerable Daryl fuckin' Hawks?

I knew you & I could agree on something! As for the rest of Chet's list, I would only consider Bob Hillman worthy of making such a list.

Post subject:  Re: Chet Coppock: Worst Chicago sportscasters of last 25 years

Another candidate for Chet's list is Comcast's Josh Mora. What's with this guy lately, since when did he become a comedian? It's like Teinowitz or Rick Reily taking over Sportscenter.
