The narrative that Woody inherited all his money is false. As a young man he used his inheritance to build an investment company and killed it real estate and quadrupled his money. Also he only worked at Jand J as an intern out of college and has no connection to them now. He's no dummy. He made a shit load of money in cable TV too. Sure he started out with an inheritance but he built his own fortune with it. _

Im not killing him for his comments, it's just evident Woody doesn't know how to effectively lead a franchise, and I have no reason to think his brother would either.

Maybe I am being naive, but it does not mean Chris will also be incompetent. Here in Chicago, the Blackhawks owner passed away about ten years ago when they were mired in decades of sucktitude with an occasional postseason run (sound familiar). Team was passed down to his son who has completely turned them around and built the multiple Stanley Cup winner of the last decade. Just because Woody is an incompetent owner -- does not mean Chris will be. Siblings can be different. My sister, for example, is a crazy, manipulative, nasty bitch who can't hold down a job. I, on the other hand, am neither crazy, nasty, manipulative or a bitch. And somehow, I still have a job despite the massive amounts of time I spend on this site.

You have to be a bit crazy to hang around here, so I'm not buying it

I spend some time at JetNation because our football discussions here seem to be fewer and fewer. It was exhausting. We might not agree on stuff here, but at least people are rational. Buncha crazy dicks doing a lot of posting over there. You want a tissue?

In all fairness as to the Blackhawks, the sucking is what earned them the top draft picks that netted Toews (3d overall) and Kane (1st overall). So, the losing is the main reason for the winning. I'm not saying that any owner would have won with Captain Serious and Kane, but it certainly makes winning easier. We can only hope that CJ has similar success with the Jets.

Not to get too far off topic, but Rocky Wirtz also brought a completely different philosophy to the Hawks from his father who ran the team by trying to turn a profit by keeping costs down. Rocky, the son, was committed to building a winner and assumed that the profit would follow if they put a better product on the ice.

I never understand how some rich guys would rather make money form their sports team than win. I guess that's why they are rich and I'm still waiting for the Jets, Mets, Knicks, and Rangers to deliver the 6th Championship of my lifetime. That's 6 out of 208 seasons. Boy, that realization made me depressed.

Boy, that realization made me depressed. I am with you -- if I had the resources to own a team, it would be all about winning. And, I guess I have you beat with just 3 teams -- Mets, Jets and Islanders have given me 7 championships. 5 of them in a 6 1/2 year stretch and none in 31 years, and counting.

Buncha crazy dicks doing a lot of posting over there. It gets rather repetitive over there with the slew of sarcastic jabs over and over by the same 4 people, no matter what the topic. But there is more traffic, so there's that.
