#53 and Counting
Today, the Tribune devoted three-quarters of the back page in sports to
the fifty-third best Bear of all-time, linebacker Otis Wilson. Only 47 days to go before all 100 top
monsters of the midway are profiled. I
wonder if this is any kind of lead-up to the season opener.
As a White Sox fan, I perish the thought, but have to ask: If the Cubs were to go deep in the playoffs,
would the Trib cut back on its Bears’ coverage?
They’re pretty much bare-bones with the Sox already, not even bothering
to send the beat reporter on road trips; come October 1st, the Sox
will pretty much disappear from page and pixel.
And what if the Bulls started the season hot, too?
Where, oh where, would the world’s greatest newspaper find the space? One last thing: suppose the above happened
and the Bears opened the season losing four straight. Would that mean reduced coverage?
What do you think?
