Big Rig, Big League Sports: To idiots who believe in the Cubs

By Allen Owens, Sports columnist

Remember back in the late 70's when the Houston Oilers kept losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs?

Bum Phillips said we have knocked on the door, banged on the door and now (the 3rd year in a row) we are going to kick the door in?



Well that famed line was just words because the Houston Oilers have no Super Bowl rings, and the Chicago Cubs for the 3rd time in the last 5 years have lost in the playoffs.

I am a die-hard fan but I am very upset that a 100 million dollar payroll nets zero. What the heck has F-dome done? What have Soriano and all the other high priced supposed primadona baseball players produced? Nothing but more heartache for us idiots they call Cub fans.

These high priced jerks can't even meet the fans at games like the loveable losers used to do. Dave Kingman was a jerk, but he could tear the cover off the ball, and afterwards go drinking with the fans in Wrigleyville. Babe Ruth was a hotdog eating drunkard, but he won championships, and signed autographs!

These players can't win and they are not fan friendly either.

If I did not love the game as much as I do then I would boycott the Chicago Cubs till they win a World Series! But I love the game, something they cannot say, so my moronic self will be there next year. . . again!
