Does he really have to use the word "all?"
Yes -- Sullivan sucks. Bradley has a gigantic chip on his shoulder, though. It doesn't seem like it would be all that hard to get a rise out of the guy. The fact that it took Sullivan five months to do it doesn't impress me.

It's not like Bradley's even close to being the first player to have complaints about the fans attitudes though, just sayin'.
Also, if someone's gonna comment about or make generalizations about the fans, I don't think thye're gonna talk about good ole Geoff up in the nosebleeds cheering his heart out for the Cubs. I'm pretty sure he's gonna talk about the assbags in the RF bleachers that are more concerned about getting their sign on TV, texting their friends, and randomly booing players on their way back from their 10th trip to the pisser. Just my opinion.

Yeah -- I hate those douchebags, too. But those morons don't represent all Cubs fans -- and I don't like when it's implied that all Cubs fans are all a certain way. That's all.

I just think you take this shit too seriously, no one is taking a jab at you, it's not about you or me, it's a generalization. Yes, all fanbases have their share of morons. On any given Saturday in the fall, there's 50-70,000 of them in Iowa City, people who don't have a clue about the game and people who don't really even give a shit . . . then there's the other 50% of the people. Same thing with Wrigley and Cub fans. However, I think the vocal douchebag contingent at Wrigley has become far louder than it used to be.

I know I take it too seriously -- I take everything too seriously.
I do agree with your douchebag assessment -- Wrigley has become far more hostile the last few years. I don't like it at all. But I don't like Chicago sportswriters perpetuating stereotypes, either. I know I should try not to take it personally, but I do sometimes.
