Living in Chicago we almost segment ourselves into only being interested in teams that play in the city of Chicago itself. By doing so we ignore the larger stories of the sports that do not come our way by means of the Bears, Bulls, Cubs, Blackhawks and White Sox.

If the PGA rolls through, it only matters if Tiger Woods is playing but it's held Medinah.
One thing I've found interesting about this city in the eight years working sports radio is that for some odd reason college football has not caught on with sports fans in town like the Bears have for decades.

However even with the amount of "college bars" around town it is very hard to get people in town interested in college football. So here is a test Chicago.
