BULLS BROADCAST TEAM SHAKEUP

Bulls fans, meet Chuck Swirsky, your new AM play by play announcer. He will team up with former Bull, Bill Wennington, to be our AM 1000 radio guys.

Everything we have heard about Swirsky has been really positive, and we love the fact that he is an absolute homer, like we are.

Here is one of his calls where he rips on his booth partner's alcoholism addiction...

Also how can you not like this guy, he has a hilarious commercial out in Canada where he gets peed on:



Overall, the Bulls have shaken up their broadcasting team by replacing Tom Dore and Wayne Larrivee on the TV side with Neil Funk. Neil Funk will work with Stacey King for our in game telecasts on Comcast Sports and on WGN. Chuck Swirsky will then take the place of funk on the radio side.

And finally, our beloved broadcaster Johnny "Red" Kerr, will take on a more limited role hosting Bulls pre game and halftime shows. It looks like his age is finally catching up to him, and we are definitely sad to see him go.

It is really going to be weird not watching Kerr and Dore call the games after all these years, but hopefully these new guys can fill in just fine.

Anyways, we just wanted to update everyone out there, and if you want to read more about it, check this out.
