SHARK, you're losing your fastball. You missed the HUGE Chicago connection. How are you going to get asses in the seats if you don't give the people an angle they can relate to?
Brent Musburger, a Montana native (the state in which our very own Franklin Coztansa attended trade school), first worked @ the now defunct Chicago American, where he made racist cracks @ a couple of black guys.
In 1968, Brent was hired by WBBM-AM then later WBBM Channel 2.
In 1980, Brent got into a fistfight w/ fellow black basher Jimmy "The Greek" Reardon, over who was going to dump the dead black hooker's body.
I know he worked in Chicago back in the day. The story had nothing to do with Brent's roots at CBS2 however. He might be losing his fastball himself. Brent's not getting any younger...
