But then I saw two 20-something women walk up to Reinsdorf and he posed for a picture with them.

Interesting read. While many of the statements he makes about JR are true, he still seems chapped that he didn't get his interview.

JR is an interesting study. His legacy is what it is...he won championships and also made a ton of mistakes. At the same time, he never did himself any favors with the media and I think that's a mistake on his part...then again, maybe he doesn't care.

his Bulls management seems to have been at least average. not glaringly bad.

White Sox? dude has fucked up every decision he's ever made.

Sometimes answers are easy. When JR is judged, he will be judged for winning 7 rings in two different sports.

Average? Do you mean currently or historically?
Not exactly.

Reinsdorf either has no clue who his fan is or he doesn't give a fuck. Either way it results in an empty ballpark much of the time.

I am not really defending or accussing Reinsdorf of anything, other than a guy walks up to him at a FAN CONVENTION, of which I am sure many people just walk up to him and say things.

This guy walks up out of nowhere and says he is writing and book and is bummed Jerry didnt ask him the correct questions?????????

I am surprised the guys article was even published.

if he put in a media request for an interview and was denied, then he could and should bitch all he wants....but you walked up on someone and they didnt respond to you the way you wanted because you are writing a book?

Guy sounds like a complete shithead.

But in so many words, I told him I wasn’t kidding and then requested the interview. He told me to call the team office the next week. I did. The interview never happened.

Perhaps try reading the article?

Assuming he wasnt trying to smear his name, they would most likely give him a time to meet...maybe even a time to meet before the formal interview.

Wow

he rips jerry for not asking him the appropriate questions about his book, after the guy stopped Jerry in a hallway during a Sox convention?

...and you are writing a book about being a Sox fan?

here is a suggestion for Dan Helpingstine!

"Mr Reinsdorf, nice to meet you, my name is Dan Helpingstine, I am writing a book on being a Sox fan, I am going to send you a media request for an interview, will you remember?"

I am 99% sure you get that interview and he would have asked you a ton of questions as well.

Jerrys a regular schmo, who understands the law and tax code as well as anyone, but throws a terrible party and gets his jollies by cutting deals that he wins on. pretty simple.
