When you have the chance to chat with the son of the Greatest football player of all time, you take it. So when I was asked to jump on live TV to talk Chicago Bears football with Jarrett Payton, I had to say yes.
I actually work downtown Chicago at the “real job,” so making the trek to the north-side and the WGN studios wasn’t all that difficult, then again, my wife does call me directionally challenged, so I had to carefully plan out my trip.
I had a friend show me the inner workings of the Blue Line, we went over the map for my walk to WGN, but I figured Google Maps would be my friend once I got off the L. It was the coldest day of the year, so the one and a half walk was a little worse than I expected, but the thought of being on CLTV Sports Feed was pushing me on.
It was a neat experience being in the WGN building, Sports Feed films in the corner of a bustling newsroom, and I spotted a few on air personalities walking around and as I left. I also passed long time WGN sports anchor Dan Roan on my way out.
I’ve done plenty of radio and podcast spots, I’ve done a Few Comcast Sportsnet episodes, but this was my first experience with live TV.
I thought I handled myself fairly well.
Thanks @wiltfongjr for talking Bears with @paytonsun on Thursday's @CLTVSportsFeed https://t.co/rWjQRboFea
