No Magglio?  That's my vote.

explain?

explain?

After all his lies and bulls*** this off-season, he wins my vote.

Sammy Sosa gets my vote. I only wish that I was there to help Mark Prior destroy his boombox! I looove Mark Prior.

 

I'd probably vote for Wirtz if I was the least bit interested in hockey.

 

Other candidates for biggest tool:

 

Eddy Curry

David Terrell

Moises Alou

Latroy Hawkins

Me and NUKE were discussing Michael McCaskey also

Wirtz without question.

 

I really dont have much hate for Chelios anyway.

Given the choices, I agree with you. :headbang

I don't like hockey and even I picked Wirtz in a heartbeat there.

I never watch hockey--but Wirtz is possibly the biggest tool in all of professional sports...

no question about it: E-Rob. this guys is a douchebag who b****es abott everything! cant wait till his ass is gone!

him and the owner of the Redskins, what a boob.

I hate hockey and have ZERO interest in the Blackhawks because of Wirtz. No home games on TV? Way to market your product Bill, afterall, it has gotten you so many championships.

Wasnt there a book about how much of an ass bill wirtz is?

Bill Wirtz. The guy decided to kill Blackhawk hockey by not signing any big name guys and then piss on the ashes by jacking up ticket prices. Bill Wirtiz should take his brown paper bag and buy a one way ticket to hell. :fyou Wirtzless

There was a book out some time ago but I forget the title. Maybe "The Critic" can help me out on this one.

Career Misconduct is what i think you guys are thinking of.

Yep..... written by the same man who brought Hawk's fans the "unofficial" Program of SlackHawk hockey..... The Blue Line..... which "Dollar" Bill promptly had an end put to considering the entire program was critical of everything "Dollar" Bill did.

 

I guess the truth hurts.

I never followed hockey and haven't lived in the chicago area for nearly ten years. Anyone got a minute to compile a small list of why I should despise this Wirtz guy?

yeah, all you gotta know is that the hawks dont televise their home games. that is f***ing ridiculous in a big market like chicago!!! also they lose like every single FA and sign s***ty guys like theo fleury

One quick list coming up. Look at the history, and the long streak of playoff appearences. Then look at their records over the last few years.

Ill admit I have no idea who Bill Wirtz is, and Im going to guess thats because I know nothing about hockey. But if he can steal votes from Sammy Sosa, he must be one hell of a tool.

And on top of that, some of the other reason to "toolify" Wirtz.....

 

1.) Home games aren't televised and you have to PAY to see the home games (HawkVision :puke ) if the SlackHawks ever make the playoffs.

 

2.) Highest priced sporting event ticket in Chicago. Rinkside seats are $250 a piece PER GAME.

 

3.) Highest priced concessions in Chicago during SlackHawk games. It should come as no surprise that "Dollar" Bill Wirtz owns the concession company that caters to SlackHawk fans.

 

4.) Complete over-reliance on the Sutter family..... both when they played and now as they coach.

 

5.) Wirtz owns an NHL franchise in 2004 but acts like it's 1964. Wirtz has gone on record and has said that he will never actively pursue a game-changing FA or resign a BlackHawk if he thinks they are asking for more $$$ than he believes they are worth to his franchise. Some of the notables are..... Roenick, Belfour, Amonte, Chelios, and Hasek. Some of the notable FA signings by the SlackHawks were Fleury, Probert, Coffey (?)..... FA's who's better days were way behind them and the only team willing to sign them was the SlackHawks..... because they were cheap.

 

6.) Threatens or goes through with legal action everytime a SlackHawk fan and/or writer is critical of "Dollar" Bill Wirtz. He had the door closed on "The Blue Line", a SlackHawk fan original publication that was very popular amongst the SlackHawk fanbase. The creator of "The Blue Line" later went on to write the life story of "Dollar" Bill Wirtz entitled, "Official Misconduct". "Dollar" Bill, again, threatened the SlackHawk fan with legal action and, I believe, "Dollar" Bill dropped his lawsuit when the author agreed to pay "Dollar" Bill a portion of his earnings from the book. I could be wrong on that though.

 

7.) A SlackHawk fan season ticket holder for years had the balls to write "Dollar" Bill a letter critical of the direction of the SlackHawks as an Organization. "Dollar" Bill, in a move completely 180 of his money-grubbing self, returned the SlackHawk fan's deposit for next season and pretty much said that if he didn't agree with the direction of the SLackHawks, then he should keep his money and keep his Organizational ideas to himself.

 

I could spend all day outlining the various reasons why Bill Wirtz is a tool but I have better things to do than dwell on why "Dollar" Bill owns the WORST FRANCHISE IN ALL OF SPORTS according to SI.

Wirtz :puke
