Score Evenings

In perhaps his shortest show ever, Joe Ostrowski reacted to the craziness of the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday evening, including sharing his thoughts on the Packers trading up to No. 26 overall to select Utah State quarterback Jordan Love. Ostrowski also discussed what the Bears' focus should be in the second round.

In the final hour, Joe Ostrowski was joined by Thor Nystrom of NBC Sports and Rotoworld to preview the NFL Draft. Nystrom has constructed a big board of 500 players in preparation for the draft, and the guys discussed what the Bears need most. Later, Ostrowski listened back to his favorite interview from the past few days about the Bulls' dynasty -- that of Todd Musburger, the agent who represented coach Phil Jackson during his time in Chicago in the 1990s. On the Dan Bernstein Show on Tuesday, Musburger reacted to the first two episodes of "The Last Dance" and detailed Jackson's contentious relationship with then-general manager Jerry Krause.

In the third hour, Joe Ostrowski was joined by Bryan Perez of NBC Sports Chicago to discuss the Bears' focus in the NFL Draft. The guys assessed the Bears' positions of need on both offense and defense. Later, Ostrowski brought producer Jordan Maly into "The Last Dance" conversation, asking for the younger perspective from someone who wasn't alive for the Bulls' dynasty.

In the second hour, Joe Ostrowski was joined by former Bulls television play-by-play man Tom Dore to discuss the first two episodes of "The Last Dance" documentary. Dore shared his insight on being around the 1990s Bulls and stories about Dennis Rodman. Later, NFL and college football expert Evan Silva joined the show to break down the NFL Draft class before the event begins Thursday.

In the first hour, Joe Ostrowski was joined by former Cubs infielder/outfielder Jerry Hairston Jr. to discuss his love of Bulls legend Michael Jordan and "The Last Dance." Hairston considers himself a Jordan historian and detailed some interesting stories about his family's connection to Jordan and the city of Chicago. Later, Ostrowski previewed the NFL Draft, which begins Thursday evening.

In the final hour, Mark Grote and David Schuster checked in with the Score overnight host Les Grobstein before conducting transition with Julie DiCaro.

In the third hour, Mark Grote and David Schuster were joined by Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports to preview the NFL Draft and what he expects the Bears to do with their two picks in the second round.

In the second hour, Mark Grote and David Schuster were joined by Mark Schanowksi of NBC Sports Chicago to discuss the NBA's possible plan for the remainder of the season as play remains suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. Schanowski also shared what he hopes to see in "The Last Dance," the 10-part behind-the-scenes documentary series that chronicles the Bulls' championship-winning 1997-'98 season.

Sitting in for Joe Ostrowski, Mark Grote and David Shuster opened their show by listening to a rant from Fox Sports personality Shannon Sharpe about why LeBron James is better than Michael Jordan -- which led to the guys explaining why Sharpe is wrong.

In the final hour, Mark Grote and David Schuster discuss how MLB might handle a shortened season -- if one is played at all. What's a reasonable number of games to play? Both Grote and producer Adam Studzinski agreed the season is too long in the first place.
