  1. i have to laugh, knowing that Chicago was going to win if it made it out of the first round of voting. Rio is like a third world country and there was a conspiracy to keep the Americans out. Oh please do go on. "Conspiracy" is kind of a loaded term, but it's naive to think that Chicago wasn't targeted by voting blocs early on. The IOC and US have had a pretty strained relationship, so it's safe to say that few tears were shed. Source: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2009-10-02-2016-olympics_N.htm Well, yeah, that's just the Olympic politics stuff that everyone knew already; I was hoping for a juicy sulley-style conspiracy rant.

  4. Not having a major stadium available that has a roof, retractable or otherwise. I mean, that's just stupid for the Bears alone. That's just dumb. It's the Olympics' rules, not mine. Personally, I wish both Soldier Field and Wrigley had retractable roofs just for my own enjoyment.
  5. Well, the World Cup was spread out across the country, so it's not really a direct comparison to hosting the Olympics.

  7. US-based olympics are the only ones that have made money -- and the only ones that have massive stadium infrastructure in place beforehand. Not sure about the impact on the individual cities, though. I'd have a feeling that would vary depending on the city's financial situation, and Chicago's is bordering on disaster. Plus, like you said, having the necessary infrastructure in place would be critical, and having dumps like Wrigley and stupidly open stadiums like Soldier Field kill Chicago even just being able to host more American sports events, much less something like the Olympics.
  8. Holy [expletive], he hasn't done that in forever.

  11. For [expletive]'s sake, Lake; just try and hit it, not kill it.

  19. I thought that was something that only happened in movies or TV shows.
  20. Why would you post that without a trigger warning? A what.
