... when the sportswriters come around to my way of thinking. Take away the last paragraph, and it's 100%.

Twisted Evil

And don't even get me started on the idea of Chicago hosting the 2016 Olympics. Mr. Green

y'know - blowing up a building won't make your team a winner. (but that's the kind of thinking that'll make you president!)

Better the midwest deal by one (and supposedly the Twin Cities are also thinking of a bid in 2020):

The 2016 Olympics in Green Bay.

The slogan: Because it's not Chicago. Twisted Evil

Besides Chicago's USOC preliminary presentation (they, LA, and SF are the three cities trying to get the US bid to the IOC) features...

A TEMPORARY STADIUM

They've got all sorts of cutesy names for almost every sports facility here - only the United Center has avoided it. Comiskey Park - The Cell (after U.S. Cellular), and my favorite, the Rosemont Horizon, venue to the AHL Chicago Wolves, college basketball, and concerts. It's on the path to one of O'Hare Airport's landing strips. The place is affectionally known as The Coffin At The End of The Runway.
