Chet Coppock


The Critic

Recommended Posts

Just saw Chet Coppock doing one of those football prediction hotline things and it reminded me that at one point in the past, he was trying to be the "King Of Chicago Sports Talk Radio".

If you think there was ever a "Golden Age Of Chicago Sports Talk Radio", just remember that the two top guys in town were Coppock and Chuck Swirsky.

:puke

There WAS no Golden Age, just a different era of crap.

Chet had a great show. He had all A list guests, this was back on 670 in the mid to late 80's. He went to NYC for a couple of years and came back. His show wasn't the same when he went to AM1000, although I did win a TIVO from him. BTW, I saw him at the Friday Sox/Cubs game at USCF this year. I believe he still has a show on sporting news radio. Swirsky was great when he had a Sunday night show on the LOOP. He used to have a segment called buffoon of the week. He was great, but really toned down his act when he went to WGN.
