A new season of Chicago Bears' football is right around the corner. While the regular season opener is still about a month away from starting in Green Bay September 13th, the warmup games kickoff Saturday for new quarterback Jay Cutler and the Bears in Orchard Park, NY vs. Terrell Owens and the Bills. While Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer & sideline reporter Zach Zaidman describe the action this season on WBBM Newsradio 780 & the Chicago Bears' Radio Network, there will be a slightly different sound and appearance on FOX32's local coverage of the preseason games this summer. According to ChicagoBears.com, veteran FOX Sports' NFL play-by-play voice Sam Rosen will be calling the Bears-produced 3 preseason broadcasts this month with former Bear QB Erik Kramer returning for his second season as the preseason analyst and Lou Canellis down on the sidelines. Bear fans should be very familiar with Sam's work, as he & another former Bear, Tim Ryan, described a number of games in recent seasons on FOX Sports' national coverage of the NFL. When not calling either the Bears or the "NFL on FOX", Sam is the TV PBP of the New York Rangers on MSG Network.
