For over a decade now Mike Mulligan has been co-hosting a popular sports talk morning show on WSCR 670 The Score, first with fellow writer Brian Hanley and then another fellow scribe, David Haugh. The shows overcame the ratings lead of Mike and Mike, then the highly successful show on ESPN pitting Mike Greenberg with Mike Golic.
But “Mully,” as he’s best known, had been doing radio since the late 80s while also covering the Bulls and their first three-peat, then the Bears. He laughed when it was noted the coaches he covered were the studious Phil Jackson and the enthusiastic and gifted story teller, Dave Wannstedt. But balancing both writing and doing morning radio became too much so he gave up the writing job.

The Bears are the number one team in Chicago and recently went through a stunning day that included the mysterious resignation of defensive coordinator Alan Williams and quarterback Justin Fields blaming part of his difficulties on coaching. It was fuel for fire for Mully and Haugh and everyone else in town. But Mully is also and avowed White Sox fan who has seen the team have arguably its worst season ever both on and off the field. But, as Mully has said often, “I’m living the dream.” Not bad for a native Chicagoan who gets to talk about the exploits of the city’s teams on a daily basis.
