As a southsider, please be aware that Mr. Wilbon is simply a preening egomaniac that is well on his way to the Mariotti level of awfulness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-52663097627511490742008-08-15T16:46:00.000-04:002008-08-15T16:46:00.000-04:00Yeah, lets allow Mike and Mike serve as the barome...Yeah, lets allow Mike and Mike serve as the barometer as to what's professional or not for a sports columnist from the <I>Washington Post</I>.Rick Rottmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714533953208961354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-12882787283774984632008-08-15T16:37:00.000-04:002008-08-15T16:37:00.000-04:00Yeah, if Mike and Mike can do it, why not Wilbon? ...Yeah, if Mike and Mike can do it, why not Wilbon? Also, who really cares? If Bob Uecker and Tommy Lasorda, who decidedly are NOT Cubs fans, can sing the stretch (though personally I consider that an abomination), it becomes clear that singing the stretch in no way compromises one's potential objectivity towards the Cubs. Is this really only an issue because we know Wilbon is a Cubs fan?

He is a media critic but once filled in for the Mac, Jurko and Harry show on ESPN 1000. A show he often calls "the best of Chicago." He wrote his editors said it was okay if he gave his pay check to charity. Sorry Teddy, not cool. Coming on as a guest for a 15 minute interview. Fine. Filling for the entire 4 hour show?
