After doing a LSU game yesterday and calling the Bears game nationally for ESPN he still made it out to Galena by 7PM to give the keynote for an Illinois Parks and Recreation Association conference. Thanks Bears for not blowing it and forcing OT and delaying the poor guy. Talked for 45 minutes and answered questions for 25 and may still be there taking pictures with people.

He probably could have kept an eye on both events simultaneously if needed.

Jason Benetti called that Packers/Bears' game with Bill Polian on ESPN Radio (Outside Chicago) today. He was in Baton Rouge, LA for an Arkansas/LSU football game yesterday on ESPN with Kelly Stouffer & sideline reporter Julie Stewart-Binks. Benetti also called a bad Bulls' game on the WLS-AM 890/Bulls Radio Network with Bill Wennington Wednesday night, too.

Benetti is able to do all of this while Pat Hughes can't talk in a conversational tone for three hours without having to stop for a nap halfway through.

There's only one radio announcer in the majors who doesn't take innings off and most of New York wishes he would take the rest of his life off.

I know you've mentioned that before, but I don't like Pat Hughes to begin with and that just makes me irrationally angry so I'm going to complain about it as if he's the only one who does it.

Pat Hughes is God.

I love Pat but his WS win call is all time bad. No excuse for a long time Cubs guy not to have something lined up and ready to go.

Terrific 8 minute video of Jason's recent appearance on WTTW's Chicago Tonight. He is fantastic. How he handles life in general and his CP is admirable. Total respect for this guy. He is a class act. He has really grown on me.

He lacks in the "being Hawk Harrelson" category though.

He was awesome on the Bulls call the other day. I think he’s better at basketball

Pat Hughes is God.

Are you serious? Swirsk was absolutely dreadful doing Sox games. There literally could be no worse. Joe Carter, Chip Caray, and Ron Santo all doing the game would be a serious upgrade.

This makes me glad I'm an Atheist.

No, but he's definitely a saint for the years of putting up with Ron Santo.

Been watching a lot of WSox games and this guy has really impressed me.

Ya he's sort of goofy nerd looking the the guy was probably picked on all his life for his looks but he's fought thru that and is the announcer for a MLB ballclub.

Stoney is terrific partnering with him.

When both of these guys are on their game, I feel like i'm listening to the radio on the porch since theyre style is so easy on the ears.

He has cerebral palsy.
