I think he's one of the best fill-in hosts on the Score. Granted he has a smoker's voice, but he's entertaining.

His voice is the "brown" note constantly. You'll shit your pants if you crank his voice through a good system.

Thats all well and good Doug but I need an excuse for doing that when not cranking his voice.

This guy is the usual token sports milquetoast on The Week in Review. Never heard him on the Score. He's cut from the Conor McBland cloth.

Who the fuck is Jim Litke? Guaranteed Mac is fighting with this fucker in like two weeks.

Jim Litke is the longtime AP scribe, based in Chicago. He used to co-host Jay Mariotti's old midday show on the long since defunct One on One/Sporting News Radio, now known as Yahoo! Sports Radio. Litke, who I believe is a golf writer by trade, has not only filled in on 670 The SCORE from time to time with the likes of Hub Arkush & Brian "Whipping Boy" Paruch before Paruch left, but Litke's been on CSNC's "Chicago Tribune Live" as a rotating panelist.

I don't think Mac has any issues with Litke, who I think is pretty good given the opportunity.

The thing about Litke is that he's not one of these Score hosts with no journalism experience that just tries to be funny all the time.

He's good as a guest panelist on Chicago Tonight.

I don't know how popular Chicago Tonight is, but they do give you a significant amount of interesting information about what's going on in the city. One story that you might appreciate Shark was this woman who died and this young guy in his 20s bought all her photographs and film. She was a nanny who took incredible photographs, but was never trained and she ever had any of her pictures get any attention. So he's been showing these photographs at exhibits and scanning them in.
