Sicko that I am, I had an image of Michael Jackson sneaking through the forest, feeling up sapplings.

Nah, I am much better looking

That is an odd comparision for an award that has been around for such a relatively short amount of time. Societial contributions are such an objective thing, and an award like the Nobel becomes a very political thing at times.

The same place these type of threads go when the Sox are winning. Almost no one has the guts to step up and say someone or this team sucks when they are doing well. I can think of about one guy off of the top of my head who will. The rest of these guys just show up when things go bad to advance their agendas. I put no credence in these type of posters.

Ah, Thanks AB.

That has nothing to do with Nobel Peace Prizes. The UN is 60 years old and has won many more awards than Americans.

I don't think he is talking about you, he quoted NukeCleveland

Heck it looks like there have been about as many American winners as Arab winner since the 60's...

I want to weigh in on this thread When it came to promos and giveaways the guy was great. The Sox came up with more new ideas and got copycatted more than about any PR dept around. Dog Day, Elvis night, Beatles night, Country music night, Caribean night, Sleepover, Kids run the bases, Seniors run the bases, Pepsi half price nights, 7/9 game ticket plans, this years contenders ticket plan, Picnic in the park, $1 hotdog day, Turn back the clock games, and I am sure there is a ton of things I am forgetting. His group did more than its share of trying to get people to the park. The problem was when it came the their media campaigns. They haven't had a good one in as long as I can remember. There were some horrible, horrible ideas. And the Sox have done an awful job of marketing their stars. Guys like Frank and Maggs should be way bigger than they ever were. Their secondary stars should be plastered all over Chicago as well. The NBA does it better than anyone. SELL YOUR STARS. That's why casual people go to games. Build those guys up to bigger than life status. People should be stopping the aisles everytime Maggs comes to bat. And finally, in reality, the PR department of the Sox might as well have been run by Goebles as popular as our ownership group is in this town, over the last 10 years. Gallas's group had no control over the strike, and no control over the White Flag trade, and no control over guys like Ventura departing, and so on and so on. I am not sure if we would have had Bill Veeck himself runing the PR dept that we would have any better of a reputation in this town.
