As I have stated a number of times the "Ricketts Family" branding has been for too prevalant to not be this contrived plan to make these people seem like the Waltons. I didn't and still don't like where this is headed.

The concern of how they come off to the public is just too big of a concern for my liking. It's about winning and not about being liked. It doesn't mean that both can't happen...

this was from the Jim Odonnel Danamaneal Toad Stool Blurb

Creative Lissa Druss Christman has resigned from Comcast SportsNet to join the expanding Culloton Strategies. Besides crisis and sports management, Culloton, it is believed, has also been a key imaging strategist for the Ricketts family during its acquisition of the Cubs.

To date, I don't have a problem with what they have done to "Image" themselves, but with every step, they have created a handsoff IMAGE or ARMSLENGTH.

Maybe it is so when things go poorly, they can step in and blame the existing crew (Hendry, Crane, Lou).

SIDE NOTE: Today HBO productions (Dont know if it HBO Cable) has erected a tent the size of the ice rink next to the ice rink at Wrigley. Could be a private party.

The Rickets's seem like an extension of the Walter E. Smithe trio of douche brothers
