Stupid Is...

Has anyone seen a Bulls’ or Blackhawks’ game recently? Odds are, No, unless you’ve got the right streaming service or, get this, an antenna to pick up the TV signal. Welcome to Jerry Reinsdorf’s latest genius idea, the Chicago Sports Network. Just try finding it. Reinsdorf walked away from NBC Spors Chicago, taking not only the Sad Sox and Bulls with him, but getting Danny Wirtz to follow along with the Blackhawks. Only the greatest mind ever in all Chicago sports didn’t bother securing a carrying agreement with Comcast, with its 4.7 million Chicago-area subscribers. Oops. So, no facetime via Comcast with new Sox manager Will Venable to go with no games for Blackhawks’ and Bulls’ fans. I can’t speak about the Hawks, but at least the 3-3 Bulls look interesting—in the box scores, that is—with a run-and-gun offense made possible by the team moving on from DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso. Rumor has it that any agreement between Reinsdorf’s Folly and Comcast will involve putting the sports’ channel in a more expensive package. No, thanks. If and when it comes time to watch baseball come spring, I’ll go buy an antenna. Thanks, Jerry.
