In terms of jackhole local newspaper humps, bloggers and radio/TV guys looking to fill space/time? Absolutely. Obviously nobody was talking about in the context of how many people regularly show up to the games, so that was just a pointless tangent to begin with. All of these markets, however, have obsessive local media outlets picking over the local teams and players. Chicago is nothing special in that regard, and it's an absurdly lame bit of masochistic egotism to think so. I mean, what the heck do you guys think the (actually) four sports stations in Atlanta talk about? "Uhm, I dunno...maybe we'll talk about sports eventually. Does anyone else really like Coke and flying on Delta?" they may be there but i'm not sure a lot of people are listening or caring. goff used to work in that market and said it was a completely different animal. I'm pretty sure four hideous sports stations in a single city with a metro population of only around 5 million people aren't just existing in a type of howling, empty void.

There are a lot of big cities that care far less about sports than Chicago. In California, for example. yeah, that was a weird question. florida too, obviously. just look at how easily cubs fans can get into road playoff games usually too. atlanta couldn't sell out damn playoff games. You guys are flat out nuts if you don't think all of those markets don't have terrible, obsessive sports media out the wazoo. Atlanta's got three miserable sports radio stations just like the Vaunted Chicago Sports Market. Florida has three dozen(!!!!) sports stations. California has twenty seven. Illinois? Only a whopping fifteen, less than the twenty that can be found here in Virginia.

As opposed to where?

So, ostensibly, doesn't that really open the door to players being able to take this up as a true First Amendment issue?

I guess. Just seems like the lack of mental fortitude, gutless choking dog, big softy, Yu articles are everywhere by these idiots which seems a bit over the line to me to be pushing such nonsense narratives. And these guys were building in that stuff to their stories from spring for the “fans” who read them to jump all over him the first sign of trouble. That's exactly what the DC area is inundated with here, too. It's everywhere.

I don't see how that's different than every other sports market. Horrible local sports media is inescapable.

Albert Almora: Somehow a slow Grady Sizemore?
Sammy Sofa replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Tom's just jealous that he can't make Almora one of his rando baseball crushes who plays for another team. -
Machado is probably cool and doesn't care about hockey at all.

See, Clorbs? You're allowed to do that, too.

Hendricks' gotta knock off the dongs.
