My assumption as well. Amazing that people would be offended by that....we're a very sensitive culture. And yes I am of Italian heritage.

Yeah, I know the origin of the term, but for it to still be offensive? I just don't know...

Public figures have to live by different rules...

I say, "Wife Beater." Much less offensive in today's culture. Just ask the NFL.

Both he and Theo were pretty funny (for them) on that segment. I didn't catch what he said, though.

Why does Italy look like a boot?

Because you can't fit all that shit in a shoe.

As written word, it's difficult to tell if this is an impression of Ricketts or HHH.

I was going for MATTY. I knew I erred in not saying "Dan" twenty times.

I'm gonna say that Suburban Tom from Omaha had no fucking clue that "Dago Tee" was considered offensive. Hell, Juilan Green is probably only around to remind the Ricketts family not to use the term "colored".

I had no idea this was an offensive term.
What a stupid story.

I'm not really worried that Ricketts slurred Italians. I'm more concerned about him gypping the fans for three years. For that, he should be hauled off in a paddy wagon.

Maybe they could take him away in one of those police vans used in Baltimore. We could put you in the other compartment. We'd let Ricketts drive you mad so that you hit your head so hard your spine snaps. Then the rest of us Cubs fans could enjoy in peace the harvest of what has been sowed.

....yeah but then you'd be haunted by the ghost of JORR who'd be able to use his newfound non-corporeal status to pop up through your floor and remind you that xFIP < wins.

Let me do some explaining .... imagine you went to a restaurant that was extremely popular, 5 stars... joint is booked months in advance ... you go and order the the 24 oz Porter House....they serve you a 6 oz chopped steak.... a month later you get another reservation and go back and order the twin lobster tails and you get a tuna salad sandwich... you go back for a third time ...since this place is the talk of the town and you order the full slab of baby back ribs and the give you a McRib......

Do you go back for the 4th time?

You have Cubs season tickets... you felt gypped in 2012 and 2013 and 2014 and you renewed them for 2015?

When are you taking me for dinner at that 5 star restaurant?

He will donate a new set of poker chips to the Italians men club on S Oakley as a gesture of good will.
