Chicago by anchor (winner: NBC’s Mark Giangreco), play-by-play announcers (winner: the Blackhawks’ Pat Foley) and color analyst (winner: the Cubs’ Steve Stone). Thanks to the power of the Internet, you fired back.
“I can’t say that I know anything about Pat Foley because I don’t, but Ken Harrelson should win his category every year hands down. He is the best announcer in Chicago sports.”
— Nick Wolf, Granger, Ind.
“Why isn’t Corey McPherrin even a candidate? I think he’s better than most of the people you listed. I really miss [Wayne] Larrivee doing the Bears but love hearing him do the Bulls and Big Ten football. And Steve Stone is the best out of the ones you’ve listed and one of the best in the league.”
— Fred, Valpariso, Inc.
“How could you leave Bruce Wolf from WFLD off of the [list of] heavyweight anchors? With his knowledge of sports and current events, every sportscast is a funny but informative one. For shame, RedEye, for shame.”
— Charlie Riske, Itasca.
“Steve Stone is truly the most amazing color commentator I’ve ever listened to. Now that I’m out of Chicago, I have no idea what I’m going to do this summer. No Cubs, no WGN, no Fox Sports Chicago. Sadness consumes me.”
Jin Park, Fairfax, Va
