This is from June 27, 1995.
So this is after your playing career had finished.
And you were one of the seven finalists to be on the Bears broadcast.
But in this story, it mentions that you were all set and your agent was ready and excited about the opportunity at WMVP.
And then a few days later is a story that you got paired up with Jim Cosmore, right?
for that first, Cosmo, for that first time.
What do you remember about getting that first kind of full-time radio gig?
Well, I'll read from the story here.
The lead is former Bears receiver Tom Waddle may well be on the Airwives this season, but not part of the WGN AM radio broadcasting for Bears games.
Waddle is one of seven candidates for the second analyst job, but it appears he may hook up with WMVP instead.
It was to replace Dick Butkus.
So the other candidates were Doug Buffon, Dan Hampton, Al Harris, Glenn Kozlowski, Ron Rivera, and Tom Thayer.
Did you ever hit a wall that first few months when you're doing it every single day to have to ask yourself, can I do this for a living?
I will note every article about your first show did tell readers that they want to go catch the sports babe.

Sylvie, I've got...
February 7, 1996, you getting hired at WGN and is that you took you were going to take over the duties previously handled by the great Wayne Larravee.
I know I'm missing some things in between.
So do you want to fill in the gaps and tell me how you got back to Chicago from Iowa?
At one point, Sylvie, because you talked about, you know, as a kid, you're thinking about play-by-play, and you're doing the stuff in the bleachers that a lot of us did growing up, just calling games.
