Oh but wait, there's more. The Green Bay Packers just won a Super Bowl 2 years ago, the Miami Heat won a title last year, and the St. Louis Cardinals won a title last year. All 3 are in good positon to win more in the next few years while Chicago sports teams flounder. Hope you enjoy the taunting from fans of the biggest Chicago sports rivals.
I warned you that the Bulls weren't a championship caliber team even when they had the best record in the NBA in back to back seasons. Obviously last season ended when Derrick Rose went down but if you think Rose is the difference between winning a title and losing to a lowly 8 seed in the playoffs then you're an idiot. As I've mentioned before, Jerry Reinsdorf is one of the cheapest owners in sports especially when it comes to the Bulls. When Derrick's contract runs out in 5 years, expect him to bolt for LA when he realizes that Bulls management won't pay for a winner and are using him as their cash-cow. Derrick Rose owes nothing to the city of Chicago and he's always said he wants to win. As soon as Rose leaves Chicago, this is when we will hit rock bottom.
The Cubs are Chicago's hope. They're still a few years off from contending but they are really building a great minor league system and already have good major league pieces in Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro. As soon as Javier Baez, Albert Almora, and Jorge Soler develop, the Cubs are sitting on a pile of cash and will start spending. At this point, the Cubs will be World Series contenders for a long period of time and should win at least one during this time. Of course, that's still a long ways off. So we have to sit through the Bears and Bulls in the mean time. Enjoy Chicago.
