Phil Rosenthal
There are many Phil Rosenthals. This one has been a Chicago Tribune columnist since 2005. A working journalist since age 17, he is a University of Wisconsin at Madison grad. He’s certain few people read bios, so never mind the honors he won as a sports writer, TV critic and then features columnist at the Los Angeles Daily News and how he came home in 1996, serving as a Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist then its TV critic. Ditto for his work in TV, radio and pizza. But that time he modeled swimsuits for Sports Illustrated cover model Vendela is actually a decent story.
