Guest: David Haugh
We’re back with a post-Thanksgiving edition of “The All Day SJ Show.” Joining me today is Chicago Tribune sports columnist, David Haugh.
We talk the current state of Chicago Sports: including the Cubs, Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks, White Sox, Northwestern and Chicago Phillips.
This was a very good discussion and interview. Please take some time out to listen and hear what David has to say about your favorite teams.
Guest: Kendall Gill
This episode of “The All Day SJ Show” is a special one. Joining me for this edition is a true legend of Chicago Basketball in Kendall Gill.
Gill was a part of the “Flyin’ Illini” phenomenon, which was the golden age of Illinois Men’s Basketball. He was a lottery pick with the Charlotte Hornets in 1990, where he was drafted fifth overall. Gill was successful as a rookie, as he made the NBA-All Rookie First Team in 1991.
Known for his hard-nosed defense, Gill led the NBA in steals in 1999. He also is the co-holder of the NBA record for most steals in a game (11).
In this episode, we talk about the expectations for the Fighting Illini this season, as well as the “Flyin’ Illini” era. Kendall also talks about who was the toughest to guard between Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James… but who was the true G.O.A.T.? Kendall’s answer may surprise you…
Also on the show, we discuss the Bulls current rebuild and how long we have to wait to expect them to be contenders again.
Guest: Slavko Bekovic
Joining me on this edition of “The All Day SJ Show” is NBC Sports Chicago’s “Bears Postgame Live” Producer, Slavko Bekovic. Bekovic also serves as the Host of their “Fantasy Football Fix” Show.
Where do the Bears stand after the loss to the Packers? Are John Fox, Dowell Loggains and even Ryan Pace on the hot seat? Bekovic tackles those questions head on.
We also discuss the development of Mitch Trubisky, realistic free agent WR targets in 2018 (Jarvis Landry, Davante Adams anybody?)
Lastly, how far away are the Bears from contending?
