Coppock On Sports: The Chet Coppock Podcast

Chet Coppock was not terribly impressed by Theo Epstein's debut presser with the Chicago Cubs. Epstein gets credit for telling the truth (don't expect much in 2012), but Coppock would have appreciated it if Theo could have delivered the message in a slightly more confident manner.

Is Chet Coppock supposed to care about the NBA lockout? Because, well, he doesn't. Sorry NBA, but your league has gone soft and even when you are not locked out, Coppock would rather watch the Blackhawks, ponder the arrival of Theo Epstein or take a long walk along Lake Michigan.

Coppock on Sports, brought to you by the marvelous folks at American Taxi, is back! Coppock wants to give new Cubs top cop Theo Epstein a couple of pointers as he arrives in the Windy City as the GM with the highest expectations in the hallowed history of Chicago sports. Oh, and get rid of Crane Kenny.

Usually the refrain at the end of a baseball season in Chicago is "Wait Until Next Year!" But host Chet Coppock says Windy City baseball fans on both sides of town should be mad as hell. Boycott the conventions! Cancel your season tickets! Demand a better product! Oh, and better commercials too!

In Chicago, when the Bears lose a game, the sky is falling! But host Chet Coppock isn't blaming Mike Martz. Hey! Martz doesn't play on the offensive line. Sure, it would have been nice to run over the Saints, but they are not exactly the little sisters of the poor. Settle down everybody and buckle up for Green Bay next week.

ESPN legal analyst Lester Munson joins Chet Coppock to discuss whether David Stern is willing to let the NBA go dark for a season, much like the NHL lockout a few years ago. Munson also offers his thoughts on Ozzie Guillen's future and whether college athletes should be paid.

The fine folks at American Taxi are proud to bring you another episode of Coppock On Sports with Chet Coppock.

Are you aware American Taxi is Chicago's number one suburban taxi service? Yeah! Ok, next question... Are you aware what the New York Islanders are doing to attract hockey fans to their home games next season? Here's a hint... it will cost you between $150 and $200 to partake. Good Luck.

ESPN legal analyst Lester Munson joins Chet Coppock to discuss the President's decision to schedule a speech around the NFL opener, the Bears' fortitude to play contract hardball with Matt Forte and Lance Briggs, and the latest legal troubles of Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds.

Uh, Cubs fans, do you really think you can blame everything on Cubs president Crane Kenney? Get a grip. Chet Coppock says the perception that Kenney is the root of all evil on the North Side is not accurate. With that said, Coppock says the organization would be well-served to give Kenney the heave-ho anyways.

Pay attention and stop staring into left field! It's time for a Starlin Castro pity party. Host Chet Coppock wonders why the Cubs organization didn't respond more strongly to Castro's Sunday Night daydreaming episode after the young shortstop was called out by old school baseball man Bobby Valentine.

Listen up sports fans! The next time you need a ride in Chicago, dial up the folks at American Taxi. Now, prepare to be surprised by Chet Coppock's take on the Carlos Zambrano situation. With all the money in the world, why does a guy like Zambrano pull the kind of stunts he pulls?

Time is running out to see the Amazing Technicolor Strikeout on the South Side! Host Chet Coppock says Adam Dunn might be the nicest guy in the world, but he simply isn't producing. Just imagine how good Paul Konerko would be if he had an ounce of protection?

Hey people, get real. The Chicago Bears are not going to suffer because they wouldn't hand Olin Kreutz a blank check. Plus, Chet Coppock isn't buying the song and dance from some that Kreutz provided irreplaceable "leadership." Where was that leadership in last year's NFC title game???

Welcome to another episode of "Coppock on Sports" brought to you by the fine folks at American Taxi. Host Chet Coppock hates to say it, but the White Sox TV broadcast team of Ken Harrelson and Steve Stone have gone flat. Coppock says Stoney needs to step it up in the booth and give Hawk a hand!

Chet Coppock is about to reveal what really drives America's love-affair with the NFL. The league will tell you it's the TV numbers and the amazing athletes, but Coppock BETS you're smarter than that. It's why the owners and the players didn't want to GAMBLE on losing the 2011 season.

On this edition of "Coppock on Sports" brought to you by American Taxi, host Chet Coppock exclaims that White Sox fans have gone soft! Seriously, with the kind of season Adam Dunn is having on the South Side, fans should not be giving this guy a curtain call for one measly game-winning home run!

Host Chet Coppock gets the low-down on the Roger Clemens trial from ESPN legal expert Lester Munson. Namely, how on earth can Clemens' legal team make him a "likable" person for the jury to consider? And even if Clemens wins the trial, has he already lost his legacy?

Sports Court time once again with ESPN legal eagle Lester Munson, brought to you by American Taxi! This week, Lester and Chet Coppock discuss why Roger Clemens is cruisin' for a bruisin' as he approaches his day in federal court.
