On another note, being a Chicago resident and Detroit native, I always get really embarrassed when the "De-troit Sucks!" chants begin. Like, that's all ya got? Chicago Blackhawks (occasionally Bulls) and Cleveland Cavs games are the only places you hear that, presumably because their fans are unable or forgot what it's like to cheer for their own teams, only to tear down opponents. Similarly, Yankees fans make fun of Mets fans who would sooner say "Yan-kees Suck!" than "Let's Go Mets!"

Paraphrasing the old Patrick Roy quote: I can't really hear what Mike Quigley says, because I've got all my Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears.

our tax money at work. The one guy who actually understands TIFS are stealing money from the tax rolls and giving it to the mayors developer friends is now spending his time doing this crap. We are doomed.

"favorite part of the resolution"? "burn"? really classy, chicagoist... just like hawks fans (which includes the honorable Quigley). seriously, i'm not against a little ribbing, but a county commissioner insulting another city? are you serious? i didnt plan on bringing an octopus, but now, i'm gonna. =)

i love a county commissioner who keeps it real. as archie manning pointed out, the shirt/tie say "i mean business but i have a sense of humor...the haircut, however, says "i'm tom tunney's secret lover".

Detroit sucks?? Really? Is that the best you can do? As someone originally from Michigan, first tell me something I don't know. Detroit is probably one of the scariest places on earth. Second, only people from Detroit are allowed to insult it. You'd better cover you're kneecaps....

I'd be careful with the whole "Its your move, Detroit" business. They are likely to break your kneecaps with a tire iron and leave it at that.

Look at him, he is just a roll up the sleeves, loosen the tie, and get it done kinda guy.

How much is he paid to waste his time on useless crap like this? Cook county government is a mess and this is how he spends his "workday"?

lucky for him, he probably won't have to pay anything to not be able to see the game while @ Wrigley Field on January 1st

Probably much to the surprise of Quigley and hawk fans in general, wing fans don't consider the hawks a rival
