No comment from JK? i believe he worked at score phone Chicago before heading west to Las Vegas.
Chicago score phone had many people that worked there to go on and a have long career in the media.
Worked at SportsPhone in Chicago during my college years at Northwestern.
I was a weekend guy who loved working Saturday nights during the college football and basketball seasons.
I had an interest in horse racing when the company (Phone Programs, Inc.) expanded their offerings to include race results.
I could rattle through those win, place and show payouts as fast as the guy featured in those old FedEx commercials.
Had a chance to meet Dave Feldman, Phil Georgeff, John Brokopp, Mike Paradise, Gil Levine, Jeff Gillespie and other big names in the Chicago horse racing industry.
Fun times.
My favorite SportsPhone alum was the late Les Grobstein (aka "The Grobber").
976-1313, a number I'll never forget.
