Yuck...now they have even less of a reason to put a winning team on the field. ..and screw going to Wrigley, the team sucks, it’s so overpriced it’s sick and they’ve put an ad on every square inch of the place.

And the Yankees knocked the Cowboys off the #1 spot as sports most valuable francise, even with the creation of Jerry’s ‘last erection’, JerryWorld. $2.3 billion vs. $2.1 billion.

I like to point out that my grandfather, who died at the age of 90 a couple years ago, and who was a lifelong Cub fan, never saw them win a World Series in his lifetime. He was 24 the last time they even won the NL pennant.

I'd be kinda sad, though, for the Cubs to leave WGN. They've been broadcasting their games since 1948 and on radio, I believe, longer than that.

I seem to remember that when the Tampa Bay Bucs were perennial losers, that they were the most profitable football team.

I still think that Cubs owner Tom Ricketts is quietly looking at the possibility of moving the Cubs to a brand-new "retro-modern" stadium, one that duplicates that entire current Wrigley Field experience (Wrigleyville included!) but with modern amenities and the ability to play mostly night games. Of course, he'll get the Wrigley Company sponsor the new ballpark, too.
