The Lincicome Shrine
Welcome to the unofficial Bernie Lincicome Fan Club page. Bernie is a sports columnist for the Chicago Tribune, and his wit and writing style have made him one of the better columnists you'll read, in my opinion.
On this page, I hope to share some of Bernie's unique insight into the sports world with you.
Want to become a member of the club? OK ... you're in. If you want, you can send me e-mail and I'll create a list of fans of Bernie's work, and we can communicate back and forth.
So read on, and enjoy ...
Bernie sounds off
Read what Bernie has to say about some people in the sports world:
On Dennis Rodman:
"The next Rodman suspension is likely to get its own space on the calendar, like Lent or autumn."
"Rodman preoccupies the most immediate attention only because his next misstep could be his last. That is the easiest annoyance to clear up. Take that step, Dennis."
On the Chicago Bulls:
"(Michael) Jordan as a Knick. Oh, sure. New York. The center fo the universe playing in the center of the universe. Makes perfect sense."
"Jerry Reinsdorf will not pay Jordan $30 million again. Of course he will. More, even. No, he won't. Yes, he will. It's not about the money. Show me the shoes."
On Albert Belle:
"The considerate thing is to approach Albert Belle with an open mind, though the risk is the same as going to the beach without sunscreen. You may not be aware of the damage until it is too late."
"How better to welcome Belle than to make him look like a complete, so-called, self-absorbed fool, not that the tailing fly ball to left field can't do the same thing."
On Rick Mirer:
"Mirer is a quarterback with horrid fundamentals, not unlike Jim Harbaugh, but without Harbaugh's sense of adventure."
"Mirer wants to end his career in Chicago. Pick a month. Be optimistic. Take November."
