And the old Sportswriters show on WGN radio started everything.

what was the nightly show on XRT for like 15 minutes? that golf writer from the tribune...

It wasn't at night, but longtime Chicago Tribune columnist and golf writer Bob Verdi did a feature on 93XRT in the morning called "Athletes' Feats". I'm not sure XRT still airs it, but that was the feature you are referring.

And our own Terry Boers was on that show. I don't remember any by-cracky's though.

I don't think Boers was on the original radio airing of the Sportswriters (Sunday afternoon...often following Cubs games). He appeared on the subsequent TV version as well as Sportsfire. Swirsky's Bottom Line on Sports featuring ELO's "Fire on High" as it's theme was also a good listen (I think it was on WMET).

I remember him having faith in the 89 Cubs, when Bill Jauss and others kept predicting their collapse month after month. Terry told them "you're running out of months!"

Terry Boers wasn't on "The SportsWriters" on either 720 WGN Radio or briefly up the dial on ESPN Radio 1000 for that matter. I also don't remember him on the TV version of "SportsWriters" either. He was a regular panelist on "Chevrolet SportsFire" with longtime journalist Mike Leiderman as host, guys. Both "The SportsWriters on TV" & "SportsFire" aired on the long since defunct SportsChannel & FOX Sports Chicago.

"The SportsWriters on TV" aired briefly last summer on Comcast SportsNet Chicago, but legal issues with producer John Roach cut short reruns of the sports talk show which did feature the late, great Ben Bentley, Daily Southtown's Bill Gleason, Tribune sportswriter Bill Jauss, the Sun-Times' (Sports Illustrated at the time) Rick Telander & occasional panelist Joe Mooshil of the Associated Press, complete with all that cigar smoke.
