Silly me, my first thought was we signed all these catchers on the cheap so it's really not a problem cutting a couple later. Then I remembered it's JR's team. He probably rations toilet paper in the locker room.

That's an old bowling tradition.

That seemed kind of weird to me. I never would have thought a player would ask an opponent for a jersey. But the main comment is right. I have a few friends that played pro sports. Whenever they made comments about not being good enough I remind them they signed the back of checks to be at the game.

I wonder when Wiki will update the notable alumni page of South Hills High School?

First test, can the coach communicate in the 21st century? I like it.

You need to trademark that phrase.

https://sports.yahoo.com/bucs-got-mike-evans-3-213310733.html I didn't see any Chicago team owners putting up with this.

"Chicago sports history" I would toss in the world series win in his positive column. A few Cub owners never accomplished that. But there are obviously a lot of negatives. And again from my original post, in twenty or thirty years the folks that are the most passionate now will be dead or not nearly as smart about baseball as they are now.

https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/lions-called-league-office-vikings-ticket-purchase Vikings buy up a 1,000 tickets and sell them at a discount to their season ticket holders, many of which flipped them back to brokers for a profit lol Lions contacted the league office.

I was thinking of both team's first seasons when they were fielding rosters that weren't fully recruited while the team was playing in the SEC. You are correct y'all have been bad recently. Is that because the SEC is a stronger conference than the rest? Would they have a better record playing in the Big 10? I don't think so.

Seeing how well Texas and Texas A&M have done in the SEC is another factor to consider. Both programs quickly established their ability to complete, which makes me believe the SEC historically wasn't easy better than other conferences, probably not even 5% better. If they were the best, it wasn't by much. Will conferences even be a thing down the road. I think they lose relevance once they get so big that a round robin schedule is impossible.

And that big contact has to be a significant increase over a team that doesn't suck. I'm other words they have to overpay for the same player. Tough spot to be in, but they deserve it.

He inherited two players that went on to win a championship five years later. There were a lot of drafts and a few trades that made that possible. The Hawks won nothing with $Bill as owner. He wouldn't even televise sold out home playoff games. I believe currently only 25 MLB teams play in publicly funded stadiums. And somewhere around 30 NFL teams. The rest are private. If owning a stadium was a wise financial decision everyone would be fighting to own it. The smartest business plan as a team owner is a free or very low cost stadium lease where you own the land surrounding it. If JR sells I want a smart business person as team owner who would also push for a publicly funded stadium. The Yankees have a publicly funded stadium. Arguably the most financially successful US sports team over the past 100 years. I also accept that it's reasonable as a tax payer to object to the proposal. But as a team fan it's the best formula.

The messiest final would be Georgia - Texas Part 3 if Texas would win. A Ohio State - Penn State would also be slightly messy if Penn State would come out on top. I'm hoping for a combination in the Championship game that haven't already played this season. With the conferences consolidating it is probably impossible to limit each conference to one team. But I really don't think having two teams from the same conference, who have already played this season, is the best possible outcome. Although I do believe it is possible the two best teams in the country could be in the same conference.

Great to see Big 10* teams playing well. *historic

Could you elaborate? Who were the non baseball men that had to go?

Perhaps the same as the Angels with Trout and Ohtani?? Whatever you think is fair in your assessment. I'm not going to change your opinion, nor do I want to. I don't give owners much credit, so it really doesn't mean much to me. But if you believe an owner makes a difference isn't it fair to consider the players the Bulls put around Jordan for the championship runs *and* the crap he put on the field and court the past couple of years? To me it seems fair to call the 21st century a fail as Bulls owner but the 1990s as a spectacular win. It did take six years to build a supporting cast, including a second HoF guy, that would win a championship. Isn't six years enough time to be evaluated as an owner? Pippen was the only guy that was there for the full championship run. Jordan and Paxon were the only players on the roster in 1986 when JR bought the team that were on the 1991 roster when they won their first of six championships. Again, if you don't want to give him any credit, that's your choice. I think in career highlights as owner that will be a strong positive. Overall he isn't the worst owner in Chicago sports. In my lifetime I will give that honor to Dollar Bill Wirt$. I'm not even certain he's much worse than the Halas heirs or any of the Cub owners.

Arizona dominated in every category except final score. If the rest of the quarterfinals are this good the NCAA will be very happy and at least a couple of fans might come around to the expanded playoffs.

Arizona fighting back.

The six Bulls championships. The team put together great rosters to compliment Jordan.

The team wins and loses based on the players. If we're going to call Jerry the worst owner because he's got crappy players today we also have to acknowledge the teams he owned also managed to put together some championship rosters . . . Decades ago. Whatever luck, skill, talent he had as a sports team owner has gone away. I do think twenty years after retirement his legacy will look better than today. Immediacy always moves subjective votes like best and worst more than time. At least to me he clearly needs to step away from day to day operations. Somewhere in the shareholders there must be a competent business leader to take on the Chairperson role.

There are only a couple of politicians in my lifetime that I truly believed were selfless and put their constituents first. He was a statesman and walked the talk. I wish we had more leaders with his integrity.

That's a bummer. I always enjoyed his work.

Over.

I've been in the waiting list for years. I'm hoping this year I'll finally move up.
