    Finally: Trib to dump Cubs

    I think it'll happen - it's like giving the manager/coach/Rumy the vote of confidence before the firing a week or month later. i'm not a Cubs fan...but i'm not sure if this would be good for the Cubs as a baseball team. the Tribsters always spent money. it was never spent wisely, but it was...

    sorry if this has been discussed - i only went back 2 pages - but for those that care about the Ryder Cup, and perhaps for those that don't - what do you think of this appointment (and Faldo's for that matter?) There's the golf side of this, and then the PR side...Faldo and Azinger have...
