* The Beachwood Radio Hour #29: The Sun-Times Is An Even Hotter Mess And Endorsements Are Even Bullshittier.
Nothing clangs when they walk. Plus: Slowing Rauner’s Endorsement Roll, Anatomy Of A Tribune Editorial, RahmNation, and CPD Swabbies On The CTA.
* Anatomy Of A Tribune Editorial.
Yes, an editorial is an opinion, but it’s supposed to be an honest one, arrived at through factual argument, not sleight of hand
* SportsMonday: Bye-Bye Bears.
Hey Phil Emery, you’re compiling a list of potential replacements as we speak, right?
Our very own Jim “Coach” Coffman appeared on WBEZ this morning to talk Bears. We’ll bring you that audio on Tuesday if you missed it.
* The Beachwood Radio Sports Hour #23: It’s All Cutler’s Fault.
Pre-New England, but still relevant and certainly prescient. No more equivocation. Plus: Dennis Rodman Was Drunk All The Time; Worst World Series Ever; Joakim Knee-Ah; Taking The Blackhawks For Granted; Little Big Ten; and Cubs Prepare To Block Their Own Views.
* The College Football Report Top Ten: Army Training, Sir!
With girl-on-girl action.
* Surviving The In-Laws At Thanksgiving.
Worst-case scenario: Pay for a hotel.
* The Weekend In Chicago Rock.
Featuring: The Coathangers, AJ Avila & Terror Amor, Cherry Glazerr, together PANGEA, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Meg Myers, Papadosio, Method Man, Bruce Hornsby, Ballyhoo!, Mozes and the Firstborn, Tribal Seeds, Run and Punch, and Banda Nueva Raza.
