I know I'm dating myself here but remember some of the old pre Score days of sports radio?

There was Fantalk on WLS with first Mike Murphy and then Dan Azarro (I wonder what happened to him).

CHet Coppocks old show.

WBBM had a show

WGN always had a show.

So, you an FrAjent didn't work out?

And the old Sportswriters show on WGN radio started everything.

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

Don't forget the WMAQ Sports Huddle (that might not have been pre-SCR though) with Tom Green, Steve Olkin, and of course Cris Cross. They had the advantage of coming on in the evenings after Bulls games when they were in their first few title runs.

Harry would have been a perfect member of the Sports Huddle

I credit that or, possibly, The Ten-Pin Tattler with starting the sports radio genre.

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.

Yes, that was it. I swear it was on after dinner?

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).

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.

Ehhhhh, pretty sure Boers was on the 720AM Sportswriters show, at least at some point during its run. And if not as a regular, maybe in guest spots. 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!"

You're slipping Shark. I remember watching Terry on "The Sportwriters on TV" for a while. His bio on the Score website confirms it.

I think Terry was a regular fill on or contributor but I know he was on the radio version at least a few times.

"Wrestlemaniacs"...When the WWF (now the WWE) really mattered, LoHo reminded me on Twitter that he & Jonathan Hood did a wrestling show on The SCORE, I believe when WSCR was up the dial at AM 1160. I also remember times when Chet Coppock actually had Randy "Macho Man" Savage as well as "Mean" Gene Okerlund on the old "Coppock on Sports" show on AM 1000's pre-ESPN Radio years whenever they had a live event at what used to be called Rosemont Horizon (Now Allstate Arena).
