Is this person famous enough to know if you're not a sports fan or is this one of those "famous" sports reporters that you know only if you're balls deep in ESPN's site on a daily basis?

Probably gotta be balls deep for this one. Although, he had some interesting coverage of law enforcement recently that gave him more TV time.

So it's an ESPN person, vs a WSCR person. This should be interesting, should the name eventually come out.

Somewhere in between. We hear charges have been filed...

Nope. Neither. This guy has more Twitter followers than either of those.

Let's see if ABC7 will feature this on their site as prominently as they did "CHICAGO COP GETS DUI" yesterday. Here there was an actual victim and an actual violent crime...something tells me the black ink curtain will fall on this one...hypocrites

Have either of them covered law enforcement recently?

I'll do some Twitter checking now.

Actually, the blogger said that it the person is a reporter somewhere "in between ESPN and WSCR". Is it Adam Hoge? Come on Beardown, where are you?

Also, the reporter has at least 14,000 Followers which is more than Giangreco.

The blogger also said on Twitter that it is someone that currently covers football.

Zaidman, JD or Hoge? Is Larry still considered a Bears reporter? He does go to the games with a press pass.

It wouldn't be JD. That's the last guy you'd expect commit a crime. He's the Wally Clever or Chicago broadcasting. Larry always says that Zaidman is a wild and crazy guy away from the mic.

Sounds like someone from the Game right? Thought Hoge just had a piglet that's been sick though so I don't know that he'd be out and about that late

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Zaidman did his radio spots today so I doubt it was him. Hoge hasn't tweeted today. Could be him.

So they jacked a cabbie? They take all his cash? What the hell? THE GAME pays Hoge that poorly?

Hoge hasn't tweeted in nearly 24 hours. He normally tweets quite often. Hmmm.....

Mike Greenberg is in town for a bar mitzvah, and distraught over the TNF JETS loss, maybe he just snapped under the pressure...

Hoge doesn't write about law enforcement though. What if.....it's BERNSTEIN

Couldn't be Larry if the victim was actually touched.

Here's Hog's bio. Nothing about being a law enforcment reporter. Not ever.

Maybe it's a reporter on WBBM 780.

How the fuck could any of the vanilla reporters in Chicago jack a cab? I would have found it easier to believe during the Mike North era, but today? Gotta find out who this is...

"This is Chicago, my friend. Anything can happen."

I misread it. The comments on that site just said he recently covered some law enforcement stuff which gave him more TV time. So it must have been a story on a player committing a crime I would guess.

I have noticed that JD is covering the Bears on ABC 7 now.

Anybody recently criticize FSU's handling of Winston case?

_________________
You know me like that.

According to the blog, they say that the person in question has more twitter followers than Giangreco, who's over 14,000. Hoge has over 15,000. I haven't seen any law enforcement stuff from Hoge, though. But it is interesting that a guy who posts nearly every day hasn't posted in almost 24 hours. Plot will thicken if he doesn't post tomorrow during the Bears game.

_________________

I'm not on twitter. Can somebody tweet JD and Hog simply asking "Hey, did you jack a cab last night?"

JD would quickly tweet back, most likely, "Heavens no, why, that would be a crime. I was home with my family, reading to my child and drinking tea with my lovely wife. I was holding the yarn while she knitted matching sweaters for me and my son. I was in bed by 9:30 right before I knelt down to pray."

Hog wouldn't respond and then we'd know for sure.

Mitch Rosen RT'ed the story, so yeah I don't think it would be anyone from 670. I don't even think it would be Hoge, because he just recently left and that would be pretty cruel of Rosen to point that out.

_________________

JD hasn't tweeted in 15 hours. His last tweet was to promote his pregame show with Mongo tomorrow morning. We'll see if he's a no show for that.

So I guess it's come down to this: FIRST ONE TO TWEET IS INNOCENT

https://twitter.com/ESPNChiBears

https://twitter.com/AdamHoge

Yeah, but he obviously doesn't know it's Hoge. And I don't think it would be cruel to tweet the story if he did know. It's the story. It happened. It's gonna be known eventually.

Cruel is beating the shit out of a cab driver and taking his money. Not tweeting out the story of somebody beating the shit out of a cabbie and taking his money.

I agree Beardown, but I always thought there was a "gentlemen's agreement" that rival media outlets don't report about each other or something? Maybe that doesn't apply here. Rosen was simply pointing it out.

Nah. B&B and Mac had fun at Harry's expense when he got arrested. B&B will love this and take their shots if it's Hog.

Hell, Mike Murphy never got arrested and B&B have been calling him gay and a racist for years. Even when he worked there. Mitch didn't stop that.

My money is on Maya Gavin.
