This covers hosts, TV sports anchors, and frequent guests on local shows.

1. Mark Giangreco -- When he's on with W&S he makes a few too-cool-for-the-room comments, most of which aren't funny. If he demonstrated some actual knowledge in addition to that it would be fine, but he usually sounds like a poorly-informed caller as opposed to someone who has made a living covering sports for the last 30+ years. Disappointing because he seems like someone who should be witty and knowledgeable but is only occasionally the former and never the latter.

2. Michael Wilbon -- Listening to him talk about how "Chicago" he is and then hearing him talk about Chicago sports is like playing basketball with someone who has been telling you for weeks how good he was when he played in H.S. and college only to find out he can't even dribble the ball without bouncing it off his foot.

3. David Kaplan -- Did you know he drives a Corvette? A cheeseball blowhard who falls somewhere between Mike North, Jim Rome, and Stephen A. Smith in terms of knowledge and presentation. Might be a bigger jock sniffer than Mac. Gets to wear Hub's earring on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Giangreco knows his shit. He correctly stated on air that his source in Buffalo confirmed that the rape case against Kane was a slam dunk.

I never have or will understand the Kaplan hate. So he drives a Vette. He has the cash to do so. Knows his sports and is from Chicago so he is supposed to be nationally objective working Chicago sports? Sounds like sour grapes of envy.

I haven't really given him a chance much but what you describe sounds better than everything sucks unless I like it Bernsie.

When he was doing Sports Central for WGN I won tickets to an event at Harry Caray's. Storm hit and a tree fell on my roof in the early hours of that morning. I e-mailed him so hopefully someone else could use my free tickets. He took care of that and someone else used them. Sent me a care package of two Lobster Grams (they were a sponsor) and two Malnatis pizzas. So I may be biased a bit. Nice guy.

Apparently you've already blown your brains out if you think Kap personally put together some care package for you.

I think it's just ducky that he drives a Corvette. It's a nice car. However, I think it's pretty cheesy, and tacky, that he frequently says "my Corvette" when a normal person would say "my car." Kind of like how Bernstein used to say "When I was at Duke..." or "At Duke..." when someone who wasn't trying quite so hard to impress people would simply say "When I was in college..." or "In college..."

My mother used to have a friend who would ask her, "should we take your car, or should we take the Lexus?"

It was an older, lower end Lexus. She talked about that car like it was a Bentley.

Well it was his personal e mail that he gave to me after hearing my situation. I really do not care what you think about this or anything else for what it is worth.

Of course you care. Douchebag just ruined your fantasy. Kap absolutely had an intern do it.

No do not care at all.

Been many years ago.
