Had an "appearance" at the Bass Pro Shop in Gurnee today. I'm not sure if it was official or not, but him and some other dude were sitting on a bench with a bunch of hunting stuff looking like he wanted someone to talk to him (sort of like pro wrestling's Virgil).

He complimented my dog.

Did he end the appearance with an ancient Chinese proverb?

No idea. I was looking for a turkey caller, and I happened to walk past where he was sitting.

Chus' picture is pretty spot on to the scene.

They let dogs in there or was Chaunce sitting outside?

Boyd is exaggerating.

Its not a Virgil situation.

He's a local fisherman, not a guy who wrestled on PPV's

I mean do we expect him to be mobbed?

Boyd, did you ask him about Steve Sarley?

It's apparently 2 weeks from turkey season, and he was pimping turkey gear. Either I missed the crowd, or he doesn't know dick.

Why would there be a crowd for something like that ever?

Thats why the Virgil thing is off. Pro wrestlers draw crowds. Local fisherman dont.

You've never actually read the Virgilbag on Deadspin, have you?

See Chus' picture above as a point of reference.

They obviously expected some sort of crowd otherwise they wouldn't have had the chaunce sack there.

We arent hearing each other Boyd.


Yes, I know all about Virgil and the deadspin coverage.


Im saying an lonely Chaunce is not equal to a lonely Virgil

At best, Id expect maybe a max of 3 people to talk to any fisherman about anything, whereas wrestlers regularly draw mobs of crowds.

Wait, the Chaunce is a real person? I thought he was just a character on the message board who antagonized Steve Sarley, like how Carrie or Juggs would bother OKC.

Yes, very much so.


The songs or one liners at the end of every post were an homage to Chauncey ending his show with a proverb every week.


And Chaunce was born because I asked Sarley if Chauncey was his competition and he scoffed saying he was in many more markets.

I sampled his program a few times since I like to fish. Chauncey's show is/was awful. Not sure if it is still on. Might be one of the worst to ever regularly air in this city.

I used to wake up early on saturdays because im up early for work and I was stuck with Chauncey until The Chicago Sports Exchange (aka The Breaking Bad of sports radio) came on.

I remember Chaune used to be on the CLTV sports call-in show once a week with registered sex offender Rob Goldman. It was appointment TV....

I replaced him on CLTV and did the show for four-plus years with Dawn Mitchell, Steve Kashul and Lou Canellis.
I got to meet many local and national athletes and media people. It was quite cool.
I also did the Friday night Sports Roundtable a number of times, including once with Matt Abattacola and Carmen DeFalco.

Chip built a salmon boat by hand and charters out of Kenosha.
He keeps a pretty low profile these days.
He won the Bob Uecker charity tournament the last two years it was held before Bob discontinued it.
It was a pretty prestigious tournament.
Chip Porter, of course, was the co-host (along with Mike Norris and/or Dan McNeill) back in the day, when The Score had a Saturday morning outdoor show.

I did not know der Schnore had an outdoors show. When was this? Early 90s? They should get another one. I need a place to call and debate Louie Spray's muskie record hoaxes.
