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.

And really, no love for the framing joke? He was a carpenter. I hope for at least one laugh. 😂

When you have been outmanoeuvred by every other MLB team for a decade, it's easy to believe that other teams know more. At a minimum expecting every trade to go well for our competition and every trade go bad for us, means you would be correct way more time than wrong.

Barely a Boomer myself

What's a White Sox free agent signing? Only Boomers remember those.

Then you have health insurance claims to deal with. You just can't win.

The plan is simple, pull your weapon if you don't want the hassle of an insurance claim. https://a.co/d/fsyGHAy here's a mount that works well in many cars. I'm going to exit the vehicle and file the claim but you do you.

I'll take a MLB ready player over a kid at the lowest rung of the ladder. If he's eating any innings in June we can pick up a AA arm for him. Plus now we have a pitcher that really understands framing.

Nice to know he still wants to play.

Earning a living in journalism is getting more and more difficult. Soon it will be all AI and volunteer generated. It's like Walmart, hire a bunch of cheap pay time freelancers to create content. If everyone is racing to the bottom it won't matter. As far as the timing I'm wondering if they have over 100 employees and the WARN act needs to be followed. It's a tough call, some folks would rather know immediately to avoid unnecessary expenses. Imagine buying a bunch of gifts, taking a trip, then getting back to find out you're being fired. That's not cool either.

And intelligent. Yet you choose to wear a naive sock puppet while posting here. I feel like we're missing out. Where do you discuss politics and I'll follow you over there?

I'll be in Illinois next week. I'll take the over in a heartbeat.
