Summary

On today's episode I talk about an article in the NY Post by Phil Mushnick. Mushnick wrote about the ugly fan response during the recent Bulls Ring of Honor ceremony. During the ceremony, when the late Jerry Krause's name was introduced many in the stands booed. The reaction brought Jerry's widow Thelma to tears. I play the recording of the event along with the comments from former Bull and current Bulls TV analyst Stacey King. Kings, to his credit, called out the fans who booed Krause. The problem is in today's society these things appear to be more of the norm than the exception. How low do you have to be to boo a dead man in front of his widow and grandchildren! Awful!

1:21.0	Who will stop the rain?
1:23.0	Given that no one in authority has had the guts to stand up and demand that it stopped,
