Fire Gar/Pax/Hoiberg and Uncle Jerry needs to sell Sox and Bulls.
dude, unless jerry sells the bulls there's no way that he's gonna get rid of gar/pax. ask kenny williams; jerry values loyalty > all, and i think he quite possibly looks at his teams' upper-management as surrogate sons, so at the end of the day while winning is all fine and good i think jerry wants it to be known that he's always going to stick by "his guys" and that's that.
also, i'm pretty sure that paxson is still the GM of this team, especially when over the last couple'a years dan bernstein has gone out of his way to say that certain moves/acquisitions are "A GAR FORMAN JOINT" --- at the time paxson was bumped upstairs it was pretty much common knowledge (even to dan & terry) that paxson didnt wanna deal with the media, so by bumping him up and formally giving gar the title of GM he didn't have to meet with the media anymore. now years later it's like gar forman suddenly got control of the bulls? yeah..... no. i'm just thinking that somebody very high up in the reinsdorf organization/s got a hold of dan like "CEASE AND DESIST ALL "GARPAX" BULLSHIT BECAUSE GAR FORMAN IS OUR GENERAL MANAGER AND THEREFORE THE BUCK STOPS @ THE DESK OF GAR FORMAN WHEN IT COMES TO ANY AND ALL BULLS MOVES.... GOT IT?!"
and since we know that dan is nothing if not always looking to carry water for the various franchise owners around towns (i.e. how do you think he got his "bears source" who either has the last name "mccaskey" or works-directly-under/reports-to a mccaskey? it has to be someone mccaskey-level to slip dan the news that [player X] is out of town after this year so please shit-talk them all year to butter up the fanbase and make it less "painful" when the bears cut a ~1000yds+/10TD #1 WR or arguably one of the top 2-3 offensive TEs in football cuz "they're meaniepants! divas! full of themselves!" / etc) --- yeap, message received. the score stopped being "the voice of the fan" years ago and now is all about that [corporate] "synergy" with the big bosses across town cuz like, man, at the end of the day do you think dan bernstein wants to have "cred" with the average "meatball" listener or the owners in town? </VoiceOfTheFan> aka #RIP
