At least the Chicago baseball teams know how to give up huge innings when it looks like they're just about to clinch a playoff series victory at home...

It is 150 minutes or so of ads with occasional baseball mixed in.*
*It is a credit to how good Coomer and Hughes are that the broadcast is still not only listenable but, mostly, enjoyable. In lesser hands......... (Looking at Zach Zaidman.)

I’ve listened to lots of radio broadcasts for non-Cubs teams this year and have 2 thoughts:
1. Pat & Ron are SO good at their jobs. Individually, it doesn’t get better. Together, they’re unstoppable.
2. The number of ad reads/sponsored plays on 670 The Score is simply outrageous.

This is what drives me crazy about the media sometimes. The below is from Bill Barnwell, who I think does a pretty good job with football analysis, however in discussing the Bears-Vikings game he doesn't mention a key factor that took place.....

This play still annoys me so much that I had to find a photo of when the ball was caught to show how bad of a play it really was. Roush might have a -1000 football IQ. And he went to college at freaking Stanford!

The LeBron James Fanatics Helicopter story is hilarious, you couldn't pay me enough to get on any helicopter but to get on the Fanatics helicopter? You might have to give me half of the Fortune 500 before I even think about it LOL...

Time for Illinois Football Cope & Hope:
Purdue might NOT be that bad of an L?
They barely lost to Wake Forest, who only has one loss (Against #4 Miami). Purdue also lost by only 14 on the road at undefeated UCLA. And, yes, they lost big to Notre Dame, but the Fighting Irish are #3 for a reason.
