Cole Wright knows all about Cubs fans. That’s because he’s one of them.
The sounds of his summers as a kid were Harry Caray, Steve Stone and Thom Brennaman calling games on WGN-TV. While his friends were collecting Ken Griffey Jr. rookie cards, Wright was saving his allowance for those of Jerome Walton. When he played Little League baseball in Joliet, he wore No. 8 for Andre Dawson.
So when Wright, an anchor at NFL Network for the last five years, heard the Cubs were starting their own channel, he told his agent to look into it.
