Windy City Gridiron
The Mac and Read Show is a Chicago-centric show about sports with a side of pop culture, current events, and so much more.
We’re excited to announce that we’re growing the lineup at our 2nd City Gridiron channels with the addition of the Mac & Read show featuring Evan McLean and Ross Read!
I was first introduced to Evan and Ross about ten years ago when they booked me for a segment on their radio show to discuss the Chicago Bears, and thanks to the wonderful world of social media, we've stayed in touch ever since.
When we heard the Mac & Read show was about to hit free agency, we took advantage of an early negotiating period to strike a deal and add them to the family. We’re still working out our regular in-season video/podcast lineup, but you can expect to see the fellas every now and again over the spring and summer.
You may have caught Ross a couple of years ago when he co-hosted a gambling show on our 2nd City Gridiron YouTube page with Jeff Berckes, and if you followed along with his weekly player props like I did, you came away feeling pretty good.
Mac & Read is a Bears show, but as lifelong Chicago sports fans, they’ll also get into the other Windy City teams plenty. They’ll also talk music, pop culture, food, current events, and so much more.
Evan and Ross are good friends who have been talking sports on air in Chicago together for the better part of a decade now. Come for the unique football content, and stay for breakdowns of your favorite shows, movies, and Hip Hop projects. The Mac & Read Show is just like 2013 Matt Forte; there’s nothing these guys can’t do.
If you aren’t already following them on social media, you can do so here: @TheRealEvanMac & @RossRead.
You can catch their debut show on 2nd City Gridiron here discussing the latest about the 2025 NFL Draft:
