I just watched today's SportTalk Live and Grote looked unkempt, glassy-eyed and off his game. He sounded different than normal. I know he just got the pre and postgame gig as host for the Cubs radio broadcasts this year, so maybe he was celebrating the new job, but he's been treated for alcoholism and I doubt the big shooters at WBBM would want him hitting the juice again. Did anyone else see the show and have the same reaction ? |

They are replaying Sports Talk Live on CSN II at 9pm. I'll check it out and let you know. Could just be he was tired. I would imagine working his shift, you're always tired. |

Another segment. Right at the beginning Grote has the thousand mile stare. http://www.csnchicago.com/bulls/sportstalk-live-are-you-concerned-about-bulls Edit. Actually, this is the same one I posted. Won't let me post that link. But if you go to the bottom you can click the other segments. The one where they talk about Noah is the one where Grote has the thousand mile stare at the beginning of the segment. |

I'll give Grote the benefit of the doubt that he didn't hit the sauce, but something was wrong. He didn't sound the same (slurred speach/spoke softly), he was slouched over, his shirt was unbuttoned, and hair a mess. Hopefully it was just a lack of sleep or he was feeling under the weather because he has a golden opportunity with the Cubs gig, you'd hate to see him squander it already. |

He sounded fine on the radio today. He did say something about not getting much sleep if I recall. |

I always thought he was younger...if that true who the fuck checks in to AA at a young age? Tha' fuck?! |

It's gotta be sleep deprivation. Because I don't think Grote is that dumb to get boozed up and stumble into the CSN studios to do the show. I just find that hard to believe. |

Sleep Deprivation doesn't explain him looking like a mess, though. Don't they have a bathroom over there where he could have combed his hair and buttoned his shirt? |

If he stays up a little late or has something on his mind and doesnt sleep well, I think the 3 AM daily wake up really starts to hit home about 2 PM...just from a 6 month period of this schedule, I would tell you it hurts. Its just terrible. You dont sleep well when you do sleep, you are tired when then you are awake. I have said the reason Grote hit the sauce was to relax and try and sleep. Got a feeling he wasnt so much a suit/jacket guy. he is a radio guy! lol |

In the words of Terry Boers, "Eeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee." Now I'm thinking maybe he was drunk. Anybody watching this? |

His eyes are glassy. But not blood shot. So that's could be sleep deprivation. Or something else. I guess I don't know. He ain't right, though. |

Fuck Kaplan and the people at CSN for putting him on the air. Jesus Christ. You couldn't see something wasn't right when he walked in the door? |
