People on here talking of Lovie's demeanor,but who was the tough,hard ass kind of ringmaster in Chicago sports history? (Let's keep it modern era-1960 on)

I'm not going to mention Ditka. I think he was more bark than bite.

Here are my top 5 (off the top of my bald head):

5. Orval Tessier-Blackhawks
4. Scott Skiles- Bulls
3. Bob Pulford-Blackhawks
2. Mike Keenan-Blackhawks
1. Don Baylor-Cubs

The guy who went on a fishing trip in the middle of a pennant race? All I remember about that New York prick is he hated Ernie Banks.

I thought it was Santo that he hated. Hell, that bastard might have hated everyone. He's a good choice. Ernie was about done in the Durocher days. It's a pain in the ass to have a guy like that hanging around as the Sox are likely to find out soon enough with Konerko.

For a game or two. And the last time they tried it the players rebelled. Ozzie couldn't stand for old Minnie to get an at-bat but he thought that "one at-bat" thing for Greenberg down in Florida was awesome.

It had to be Halas. He had the ability to make or break your existence as he was coach, owner and founder of the league. He would use you for every ounce of physical exertion you could give with inadequate compensation. When you were used up, no matter how big the legend, he would end the relationship with bad feelings.

I remember watching a game back in the day, and Cartwright got so pissed at whatever had just transpired on the floor, and he broke a clipboard over his knee. :lol: :lol:

I can't believe he didn't have a heart attack coaching that shit show.

I don't know if I would've mixed it up with Jerry Sloan. Hell, I still don't think I'd want to.

To Keenan's credit, he could take abuse in addition to giving it out. Every season, he would come into the dressing room in full gear and say, "All right, you motherfuckers; this is your chance to take a shot at me." Keenan would play 30 minutes for each team, and he would take a beating. Manson couldn't wait to get his shot at Keenan. Once, he hit Keenan so hard it looked like he almost fucking decapitated him.

Once, we were on a western road trip, and Keenan decided to scrimmage with us at the Kings' old practice facility in Culver City. Mike Eagles and Bob Bassen went after him with vengeance.

Keenan wasn't the prettiest of players, but he had played college hockey at St. Lawrence University. He could skate, and when he took to the ice against us in practice, he went to war. Everyone knew this was our time to go after Keenan, but we also knew that there would be no free shots. Keenan was a fucking stick hack, and when you got near him he would chop you up.

There's a spot on ESPN with Ditka saying something like "Tough is another word for dumb." I couldn't agree more. Ditka is CHICAGO TOUGH!!!
