Legendary figures in Chicago media make up most of the best of season 4 part two. There’s hall of fame Chicago Blackhawks announcer Pat Foley (retired), longtime radio news anchor Pat Cassidy (retired), Dan Roan, 38 year anchor and reporter at WGN-TV who will soon retire and Fred Mitchell, the trailblazing writer for the Chicago Tribune who left the paper in 2015. Those four gentleman along with Darrin Jackson, the radio analyst for the Chicago White Sox and Jeremy Roenick, 20 year star of the NHL, enrich this best of with some incredible story. Hard to beat Cassidy’s mispronunciation of a country and Mitchell’s invention he never reaped a dime from. And then there’s Roenick’s feelings on being fired by NBC sports in 2020 and what’s happened to him since.
