White Sox and Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf made a slew of tone-deaf comments at a sports panel last week in California. Items included: the stupidity of many other MLB owners, the implied vacuity of White Sox fans and the conveyance of the self-opinion that he, Jerome Michael Reinsdorf, is, in fact, the smartest sports operator on the planet.
SOMETIME AROUND 1992, retired Arlington Park COO Sheldon Robbins -- a brilliant businessman -- predicted that if Dick Duchossois could one day take his regal racetrack with him, he would.
Founder of the bird cage is Michael Milken. He's the felon who once pushed junk bonds outside the scope of existing U.S. securities laws. In the wink of some precisely measured phrasing, an ultra-carnivorous sports capitalist became merely that rascally ol' Jerry Reinsdorf. Decades of Bulls and Sox disappointments -- at constantly escalating prices -- are testimony to that.
