I fondly recall the days when Chicago had professional football and basketball teams. Now both teams are pathetic afterthoughts in the third largest media market in the country. The Bears have had one fluky winning season in the last 10. The Bulls haven't sniffed the playoffs since the second retirement of MJ. What gives? Start with ownership that barely has a clue and throws nickels around as if they were manhole covers. Move on to some of the poorest talent evaluation in either league, and when the teams have signed solid rookies or free agents, they've given up on them way too quickly. It's true that some would argue that both teams are finally starting to move towards solid ground with new GMs and better talent evaluation, but the truth of it is that it shouldn't take 6 or 10 years to build a winner in Chicago. I'm tired of losing. Hope other fans are too and finally hold management accountable by forgetting about tickets until we're provided with competitive teams.
