why does Dave Van Dyck waste Trib space with every column he writes?

Why does any Trib writer do what they do?

David Haugh was awarded the top column in the sports section and I can’t think of a more average writer than, say, Mike Downey with opinions that seem so incredibly out of touch…

Dave Van Dyck seems to be thinking about how hot the Rockies were heading into the World Series and winning it all… wait, no… they were swept.

Ah… I’ve got it… Dave Van Dyck seems to be thinking about how hot the White Sox were at the end of the regular season when they won the World Series… wait, no… they limped into the playoffs in every way, shape, and form.

Hmmm… It must just be that Dave Van Dyck is just shiftless and lazy in terms of trying to come up with copy. Yeah, I’ll go with that.

dan, where can we find this nba general manager stuff, next time, provide a link

Has anyone seen this week’s SI yet? In it theirs a poll asking NFL players who is the most-overrated player in the league. The usual responses follow. Favre, Romo etc.all offensive players. But interestingly the defensive player receiving the most votes was, ahem, Brian Urlacher. This poll was taken of 279 players from throughout the league, a pretty significant percentage actually. This is the 2nd time in his career he’s been given the designation as most overrrated. Are players in the league jealous, or have the media and fans in Chicago built him into something he is not and never has been?

Why does a world class city like Chicago have so many SECOND RATE and BELOW journalists, reporters and newcasters? Why don’t our so called newspeople ask better questions and good follwup questions?

Tell me lies tell me sweet little lies?

nice tease dan, the only bulls mentioned in that whole gm survey was derrick rose for fastest with the ball, john salmons for best on the ball defender, does most with least, perimeter defender and tyrus thomas for most atheletic. not really much to brag about here.

what is worth more ryan howards 200th HR ball or autograph

flynn, i hate to say this, but two things, he is a bit overrated, i mean have the bears (wishing i could italicize here) really missed him? 2) he is white, which is why the media over hypes him and why his peers second guess him. but really, when was the last time he made a play that ray lewis makes on a regular basis?

flynn again, the press are basically now pr people. there is so much information control out there and people are really that much unwilling to devoluge rea answers that there is no point in being “real journalists” anymore. sad but true me thinks

If you want the gm survey results go to nba .com they will release the result at or just after noon.

i saw them

Terry, is going to be late because hes going to Philadelphia, to present Brenden Ryan his award for having the best Mustash(by-cracky)!!!!

Dont stretch those Duke education dollars too much on that hawk thought Bernstein. Anytime you want to send something intelligent on that subject were all ears…

Is Terry Boers late today because he stayed up too late last night admiring Bob Brenly’s mustache?

Kenny Williams should be getting hammered by the sports media in this town. I watched that Twins/Yankees game yesterday and it was like a real major league team vs. a pony league team. Minnesota is awful. They lost their 2nd best hitter, their best starting pitcher (slowey), and their 3b all due to injuries yet still won that division over the Tigers and White Sox? Kenny and Ozzie deserve blame, but most of it should be put on Kenny. Winning 79 games in that HORRIFIC division, worst in professional sports, isn’t acceptable.

I thought there was going to be some shocking news about the GM Survey in relation to the Bulls. That 2 mins wasted that I’ll never get back. If there was a Bull recieving votes for MVP, defensive MVP, or Rookie of the Year….then THAT’S A STORY.

When is Friday Fung coming back?

watching paint dry or grass grow would be more interesting than this nba junk

Terry, The Brewers wouldnt trade Prince Fielder for any or all of the Whiet Sox.

Answer
media executives in Chicago are the worst, look at the score Zimmer and Rosen, if they had a clue we wouldn’t have to listen to Boers and Bernstein.
