Coppock On Sports: The Chet Coppock Podcast

Has anybody notified boxing that their sport is officially DEAD?!? Host Chet Coppock says you can talk about Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, and pay-per-view numbers until you are blue in the face, but it doesn't matter when the USA can't even muster up ONE medal from the 2012 Games in London.

You'd have to be crazy to use anybody other than American Taxi for your transportation needs in Chicago! And speaking of crazy, Chet Coppock says the Bears would have to be nuts to start Brian Urlacher with a bad knee Week 1 vs. Indy when he should be resting up for Green Bay in Week 2.

Coppock on Sports is brought to you by American Taxi, Chicago's best transportation company, bar none. Speaking of Chicago, Chet Coppock thinks it's time for Pat Fitzgerald, head coach of the Northwestern Wildcats, aka. "Chicago's Big Ten Team", to leave NU for a real football factory.

Chet Coppock's one-two punch... First, look no further than American Taxi for your Chicago transportation needs. Second, look no further than Long time WGN Radio and Television Sports Editor Jack Rosenberg if you want to find the man most responsible for getting Cubs legend Ron Santo into the MLB Hall of Fame.

Nobody is a bigger Chicago Bears supporter than Chet Coppock. He sprang from the womb chanting "Bear Down Chicago Bears!" With that in mind, Chet has a few things to say about the 2012 Bears... 1. They are not "Monsters of the Midway", 2. They are not as good as the Packers, but 3. They will go 10-6 and make the playoffs. Bear Down!

Chicago sports radio legend Chet Coppock would like to have a heart-to-heart chat with Cubs manager Dale Sveum. Hey skip, you can't tell the press you'll be ok with a .500 record in the second half! Sure, some people might give you a mulligan and thank you for not raising expectations, but that's pretty weak.

American Taxi and Coppock on Sports are a winning combination of guts and glory, much like the way the All-Star Game was played back when Pete Rose was plowing over catchers to reach home plate. Chet Coppock ponders what the heck Bud Selig would do if that same play happened in this year's ASG.

Coppock on Sports would like to congratulate the Chicago White Sox for a brief flash of marketing genius last week, when team owner Jerry Reinsdorf put on his "Most Interesting Man in the World" cap and recorded a video in support of Jake Peavy's All-Star bid. Well done!

He's a certifiable candidate for the American League MVP and he's the face of the franchise. Who is Chet Coppock talking about? None other than Paul Konerko. Unfortunately, for all his on-field success, Paul Konerko is simply not a guy who puts butts in seats and sells tickets for the Chicago White Sox.

ESPN legal expert Lester Munson returns to the podcast for a timely episode of "Sports Court" focusing on the Sandusky scandal at Penn State. Munson tells Chet Coppock the evidence of a coverup among the administrators that emerges from the Freeh Report is something that will likely lead to more convictions.

Host Chet Coppock calls for an all-out ban on the term "fan friendly" in the marketing efforts of Chicago's baseball teams. Seven-dollar beers and $90 bleacher tickets to see a last-place team make "fan friendly" a cruel joke. The real marketing slogan right now should be "Hello, suckers!"

American Taxi brings you another episode of "Coppock on Sports" with Chet Coppock. In this episode, Chet Coppock jokingly tells Hawk Harrelson to reconsider his use of the term "awesome" for Gavin Floyd's 6-plus inning performance against the lowly Chicago Cubs.

When Chet Coppock picked up the newspaper this morning, he could see it coming a mile away. Windy City sports writers are dutifully telling fans to stop making comparisons between LeBron James and Michael Jordan. And Coppock agrees, but not for the reasons you'd think.

American Taxi is Chicago's best transportation company and LeBron James is the most scrutinized athlete since Roger Maris. Host Chet Coppock says James' Game 6 performance vs. Boston was on par with Magic Johnson's Game 6 gem vs the 76ers in 1980.

Chet Coppock says that watching Ken "Hawk" Harrelson go ballistic over the ejection of a White Sox pitcher in a recent Chicago-Tampa Bay game was fantastic entertainment, regardless of what Bud Selig says. Hey, more clubs could use a guy with the theatrical flair Hawk brings to the park!

Majestic athlete? Check. Perfect physical specimen? Check. Fourth quarter dominator? Not so fast. Chet Coppock wonders if LeBron James can finally overcome his psychological aversion to putting games away in crunch time, especially against the Boston Celtics.

Coppock on Sports is brought to you by the fine folks at American Taxi! In this edition of the podcast, Chet Coppock explains why Tiger Woods should send Jack Nicklaus a huge thank you card for what the Golden Bear said after Tiger's victory at the Memorial Tournament a couple weeks ago.

Chicago's finest transportation company and Chicago's finest sports radio personality team up for another podcast. In this episode, American Taxi and Chet Coppock fondly remember Stormin' Norm Van Lier, another one of Chicago's finest and truly one-of-a-kind.

Bartender! Another shot of Coppock on Sports! Brought to you by American Taxi, of course. Host Chet Coppock ponders the mindset of the reclusive Jerry Reinsdorf. Chet congratulates Mr. Reinsdorf on a resume that puts other sports executives to shame and asks if there's time to bury the hatchet.

Guess what keeps White Sox GM Kenny Williams up at night? How about the fact nobody is paying to watch his club, despite the fact they are semi-decent? Oh, and Chet Coppock has one more thing... the absolutely terrible traffic you'll face getting to U.S. Cellular Field!
