Most people might remember Ned Colletti as the General Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. But this most accomplished veteran was also a PR director and contract negotiator for the Chicago Cubs, Assistant General Manager of the San Francisco Giants, analyst on Dodgers' TV, New Times best selling author, instructor at Pepperdine university and oh, did I mention a scout for the San Jose Sharks? Yes, Colletti is one of a handful of people who have worked professionally in two sports. “First time in my life to think about ok, do I change a course, do I change a path?”Thanks to the consistent pestering from then GM Doug Wilson, a player he used to cheer for when Wilson was a stellar defenseman for the chicago Blackhawks in the 80s did Colletti finally said yes to.Ned Colletti remembers when Andre Dawson came to Cubs camp as a free agent in 1987 and he and his agent gave GM Dallas Green a chance to sign the great star to a blank check. “Dallas wasn't happy about it. He was being put on the spot.” But they signed Dawson to a $500,000 deal plus incentives and all he did was win the National League's most valuable player award for a last place team!Colletti also dealt with the notorious Barry Bonds. “ I found him to be one of the most interesting people I've ver been around. Very engaging when he wanted to be. There was a side of him the media never saw and he didn't care.”Colletti spends his time traveling, and a lot up and down the west coast and Las Vegas. Plus, there are his myriad classes he teaches at Pepperdine.”I wasn't a very good student in high school.” Years later….”I'm giving the commencement speech at Pepperdine!”Nearing 70, Colletti still loves what he does.”I'm on the back nine. I might be on 18, I might be on 17, I might be on 15 but I'm definitely on the back nine of life.”Considering what Colletti continues to accomplish, I'll select hole 15 and eventually meet him on the 19th!Hear his full story on the newest "Tell Me A Story I Don't Know" as part of the Last Word on Sports Media Podcast Feed.

When interviewing Ned Colletti for my podcast I asked him what he hasn't done. The man has been part of management of three Major League teams, an NHL franchise, been a TV analyst, wrote a best selling book and teaches classes at Pepperdine University. All of this while Colletti tries to balance a a family including grandchildren while traveling from San Jose to Los Angeles and Phoenix. But what Colletti has proven during his remarkable career is he's a tireless but incredibly enthusiastic professional.The Chicago native began his career with the Cubs and ascended to PR director and contract negotiator. From there he became assistant General Manager of the San Francisco Giants, GM of the Los Angels Dodgers and eventually their TV analyst and currently his role with San Jose Sharks and Pepperdine. He's been involved with such luminaries as Andre Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, Harry Caray, Brian Sabean, Barry Bonds and Doug Wilson just to mention a few. Colletti might be most proud of giving the commencement speech at Pepperdine admitting he wasn't much of a student in high school. But he learned what it took be one of the tops at everything he did….and still does!Hear the show coming Tuesday!"Tell Me A Story I Don't Know" is part of the Last Word on Sports Media Podcast feed and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple, Spreaker, Spotify, Google, etc.!!

Cheryl Raye Stout as been covering Chicago Sports on radio for over 40 years. She's a pioneer who battled her way through sexism to eventually be heralded as one of the most relentless and respected reporters in town. During the hey days of the Bears in the 80s, she was yelled at by the team for entering their locker room.“The practice was in Lake Forest and we were at the old Halas Hall which was a very small room. That's when you realize you're the only women in that room. I was with that little group as the locker room opened. I started to go in and all of a sudden the team surrounded me and started screaming at me and calling me names!”But then quarterback Jim Harbaugh eventually paved the way for her acceptance. Along the way she constantly had to prove herself during a time when women were forced to do so. But when she was foisted into the role of producing a radio talk show hosted by the popular and late Chet Coppock, Raye Stout became bold booking Dallas Green as the first guest. He was the General Manager of the Cubs and it was a big get for her, the host and her career. Raye Stout cemented her role as a top reporter breaking the news of Michael Jordan's decision to retire and play baseball for the White Sox and then his return to the Bulls. She continues to cover every team and sports event in town for WBEZ, the NPR station and has no desire to retire. There's a good reason for that….she's still on top of her game!"Tell Me A Story I Don't Know" is part of the Last Word on Sports Podcast feed of shows.

Curtis Granderson has his hands full these days. He juggles a schedule including his pre and post assignment for TBS's Tuesday night baseball along with the post season, his role as president of the Players Alliance, his responsibilities with the baseball and educational academy and the GrandKids Foundation. All of this fashioned during and after an excellent 16 year career playing for 7 teams while hitting 344 homers and driving in almost a thousand runs! Granderson began his career with the Detroit Tigers but he also made stops in New York with both the Yankees and Mets yet never played for his home town teams, The Cubs or White Sox. He said he would have loved that yet he's not disappointed because it might have been difficult. Every time he came to town there were friends, tickets and so many things to do he would wind up exhausted after a series.“The reason I say no is part of it is after that two, three or four game series in town playing one of the two teams I would be so exhausted because I was seeing everyone and doing so many things," he says on the show.Granderson lives very close to the University of Illinois at Chicago baseball field, named in his honor him after he donated five million dollars to build it. It was a way to also help kids in the area have the experiment of playing on a college field."I wanted the kids in the area an opportunity to play, practice and train on a college campus.”To say the least, Granderson is not only a citizen of Chicago but to many communities and the game of baseball.His story is part of the long list of great guests on "Tell Me A Story I Don't Know" and make sure to get more great episodes on the Last Word on Sports Media Podcast feed through Apple Podcasts, Google, Spotify, etc.!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Dan Bernstein has been a staple at Chicago all sports radio station WSCR, 670 the score for over 28 years. He partnered with former Chicago Tribune writer Terry Boers for 17 years, growing a significant fan base including those who actually didn't like their show! In part two of this revealing podcast, Bernstein discusses what makes a good talk show host. He says making sure you know what your audience is interested in and always broadcasting is if you're talking to one person.Vibrant, irreverent and early on, impatient and screaming at callers, Bernstein admits he's mellowed. But not for his total devotion to Children's oncology services. He‘s passionate about a charity centered around pediatric cancer that's not about hospitals as it is about life. And Bernstein hosts an annual poker tournament which helps pour thousands of dollars into the charity.It's hard to imagine this Duke grad, now in his 50's doing anything else but he wouldn't mind doing some play by play again. He called Rockford Lightening games in the CBA and DePaul basketball. With the July 4th holiday coming Tuesday, the second part will air a day earlier on Monday!Hear all the great content of "Tell Me A Story I Don't Know" on the Last Word on Sports Media Podcast feed.

Jon “Boog” Sciambi loves Wrigley Field So much so he says this is his last stop as a team play by play man. Of course, Sciambi is better known for his work with ESPN baseball both TV and radio and this season he takes over as the voice of the World Series on radio. Sciambi has been the voice of the Atlanta Braves and Florida Marlins and happened to be part of the broadcast team that fateful night at Wrigley Field in 2003 . It was the “Bartman” game, game 6 of the NLCS when the fan appeared to interfere with a fly ball. It fueled the Marlins to win the series and ultimately the World Series. Boog now loves working regularly at Wrigley Field.“Just that view, the architecture and beyond the ballpark, it feels like you're being transformed back in time. And it feels completely brand new because it's so beautiful and so special.”Sciambi also embraces baseball's new rules to speed up the game although he's had to adjust to it working in a three man booth. He says the trade off of telling fewer stories while calling a game that has lopped an average of some 25 minutes is well worth it.Make sure to hear "Tell Me A Story I Don't Know" as part of the Last Word On Sports Media Podcast feed and follow/subscirbe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, etc.!And stay engaged with the content on www.lastwordonsports.com/podcastsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Not many baseball announcers have lasted 48 years but Rick Rizzs has and is still loving every minute of it. Why not? The Mariners have a pretty good team. The. Again, Rizzs has been behind the mike for many Seattle stars from Randy Johnson to Ken Griffey Junior to Ichiro and now Julio Rodriguez.Rizzs is a baseball junky who, like yours truly, grew up In Chicago and also attended Southern Illinois University where both of us did play by play. But Rizzs pursued his passion. There was 8 years in the minors, 9 years in Seattle, 3 in Detroit and the last 27 in the Emerald city. Rizzs, who loves to use the phrase “Holy Smokes” on big plays said the toughest time in his career was the 3 years he spent calling the Tigers. That's because he had to replace the legendary and immensely popular Ernie Harwell who was fired. But when Harwell made a triumphant return, Rizzs was lucky to get his old job back in Seattle where he's been ever since.Hear the full show coming Tuesday!"Tell Me A Story I Don't Know" is partnered with Last Word on Sports Media Podcast and proudly sponsored by Mr. Duct.

The shortest goaltender in NHL history was nicknamed “Shrimp.” The second smallest happened to be Darren Pang, now an excellent inside the glass analyst for both TNT and the St.Louis Blues Pang played only 2 seasons in the NHL, both with the Chicago Blackhawks and in his first one, finished second in rookie of the year voting! While his career was so short, Pang's leap into the world of broadcasting has had a large impact. His insight enhances the broadcasts along with his sense of humor. And he certainly knows about goaltending.But Pang also has a keen understating of trades and with the NHL trade deadline passing last Friday, he offered his views on a Blackhawks icon wearing a new original six jersey. Patrick Kane was sent to the New York Rangers giving them an even more dynamic offense. Pang wondered whether Kane had something left having had to play for a team rebuilding and trying to end up with the worst record in the league in order to have a better chance at getting Connor Bedard, a generational type of talent. Pang said after Kane scored 5 goals in two games, wow! But now Kane has to prove himself again, something Pang doesn't have to do.Tell Me A Story I Don't Know is part of the "Last Word on Sports Media" podcast feed and makes sure you are following/subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, etc.!!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
