Shootaround
Sometimes when you’re asked to join a brand new podcast as a guest; you don’t ask questions. Yesterday 2 of Chicago’s rising stars (or legends in their own mind) in sports media Sam Panayotovich and BartstoolBigCat broke out the Stanley Cup banter among other things to get Blackhawks fans ready for the Finals that drop the puck Wednesday night in Tampa. I wasn’t there to sugarcoat my observations or predictions for what should be an entertaining match-up between 2 of the league’s more talented offenses. They can take the boy out of Chicago but not the Chicago out of the boy…well except when it comes to trying to make a few bucks.
From start to finish the podcast will entertain the hell out of you but if you’re just looking for gambling banter tune in around the 11:30 mark sit back and enjoy. Chicago sports fans will also be interested to hear our thoughts on what major Chicago franchise not named the Blackhawks wins a championship next. I’m thoroughly convinced the answer will surprise you…
