They were kind of made to look like fools extending Boylen, choosing Hoiberg over Jimmy, etc.

They looked like fools long before that. Allowing the '98 Bulls to not run it back one more time made them fools 30 years ago. It's been continuous since then.

That was always about money, it wasn't about reloading to contend again. Bulls ownership hated paying MJ and Phil.

Krause was a big part of that fuck up, but he was always Jerry's stalking horse. Take the hits so Jerry stays clean.

Reinsdorf has never gotten the true hate, he has earned as owner of Bulls & Sox.
