Ok relooking at it I see why everyone thought it was so random. I skimmed the article and totally thought it said the ESPN Zone in Chicago was starting its own website that would cover just Chicago sports.

 

If you read the very first line of the article, it becomes clear that this is not the case.

I'm surprised they don't have a Boston or New York sports website. Oh wait, they already have 2 TV networks for them.

 

The fact that they decided to do this for Chicago first, and not Boston or New York.........................confims a few suspicions.

I'd definitely be interested in checking it out. Right now, I don't have a one-stop news source for all of Chicago's sports teams.

Kind of off-topic . . . but does anyone else HATE the Tribs revised online section? (I know, old news, but with the start of the season, I've found myself pursuing around there more often in the last week or so) I really miss the dedicated ChicagoSports.com layout. At least I could find what I wanted, quickly.

I don't really know how you cannot find what you want on their site quickly. I don't have a problem with it.

One time I was at a restaurant in Chi and they had a framed MJ autographed rookie card on the wall. I just stared and stared and tried to think of a way to steal it.

 

It's a shame they got it autographed. Getting an in person autograph on a sports card ruins its integrity and value. If they hadn't got it autographed it'd be worth what you would expect it to be worth. Since it is autographed it's worth no more than an autograph on a piece of paper or a different regular basketball card. It only holds value to the person who holds it. If you were to ever try and sell it or auction it off you wouldn't get nearly the same amount as a RC with no autograph on it. Granted that's general rule of thumb in sports cards 101, but perhaps it's a little different with an MJ rookie card.

 

The randomness of this thread is fantastic

 

That's why you always take a picture of the auto taking place or have it authenticated.

 

I still ruins the cards original value though. But with an MJ RC it might actually increase, who knows. All I know is you don't dare compromise the integrity of a card that has such holy grail properties like that one

You are right about this, as far as I know.

Great website. I'm digging the local SportsCenter and the local videos. They actually have real SportsCenter anchors do just Chicago highlights for the website and they have special segments with the ESPN "experts" for the website. ESPN finally does something good.
