Description:This is an expansion of the Chicago Tribune column Phil Rosenthal has written since April 2005, and the columns he wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times and Los Angeles’ Daily News for two decades before that. It’s TV, radio, newspapers and whatever, both locally and nationally. Beyond sharing what crosses his desk—and his mind—this will be a venue for you to share your takes with him as well as with each other.
