Look, I don't know know what possesses people sometimes. I barely know what possesses me on occasion.
So I can only venture a guess what got into some Bulls fans in Chicago last night, who thought it would be a cool deal to boo the widow of Jerry Krause on a night when the '90s Bulls dynasty was honored. Booed the wife of a dead guy. That was some class stuff right there.
I can only assume those fans were making a play for Chicago to overtake Philly as the most s***headed sports town in America. You guys threw snowballs at Santa Claus? Yeah, well, watch THIS.
Yikes.
In any case, it confirms the Blob's long-held position that fans (some fans) are idiots, and will always offer proof if given the opportunity. Stupid is as stupid does, as Forrest Gump famously said, but in the case of sports fans (some sports fans), stupid is a genetic condition.
So they booed Jerry Krause's widow as a proxy for Jerry himself, who was beyond mortal reach. I presume they were booing Jerry because he dismantled the Bulls dynasty after six titles, and because he used to get in spats with Michael Jordan. But he also mantled (is that a word?) the Bulls dynasty to begin with -- something for which MJ should have been more grateful than he was, seeing how without Scottie Pippen 'n' them his fingers would have a lot less jewelry.
Jordan and Pippen, by the way, were no-shows last night.
Maybe they were afraid they'd get booed.
