Not a steady rain that poured down during the early-evening hours and certainly not a wind that shifted from warm to chilly in an instant. This was the night the Cubs raised their championship banner, and what's a little waiting to Cubs fans? The ceremony got under way close to two hours late, and members of all levels of the organization had their take on what celebrating the 2016 World Series title meant and how the evening -- and the banner -- might unfurl. "I'm looking forward to seeing the looks on everyone's faces as that banner goes up, players and fans alike," said team President Theo Epstein. "They say all glory is fleeting, and it is. But the flag will fly forever, and that feeling of being part of something bigger than ourselves will last forever, too. To me, that's what it symbolizes." Four new flagpoles behind the center-field bleachers provided a hint that more than just the 2016 banner would be hoisted. Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg raised the banner for the 1907 world championship. Fergie Jenkins did the honor for 1908. Billy Williams raised the National League championship banner from 2016. Finally, Anthony Rizzo led his teammates as they put up the 2016 world-championship banner. Fireworks shot out from behind the videoboards, and the ceremony culminated with team owners Laura, Tom and Todd Ricketts throwing out ceremonial first pitches. The cheers were thunderous. "It's being part of something," said manager Joe Maddon. "It's being part of something bigger than you. That's the really impressive part about it. Of course winning a World Series and winning a World Series in Chicago with the Cubs for the first time in a long time and the fan base, the tradition, the city itself, the organization, it's just different." Pressed as to why it's different, Maddon explained it from the point of view of a relative newcome. He arrived on the scene in the off-season of 2014-15. "I've been to every ballpark in the big leagues now, and there are some really good ones," he said. "Great fan bases, wonderful traditions. But there is just something different about this place. Maybe it's just because the ballpark is in a neighborhood. It has something to do with it. I know Fenway is kind of like that, but not quite like this. "Maybe the long-term suffering of the group's not having won in so many years. There's an intellectualism about this place also that I think is different. There's a passion about it. It really runs the gamut of all the spectrums of groups that are following this team and the reasons why. I didn't know that. I did not know that before I got here." The players shared their experiences, too. World Series MVP Ben Zobrist won the 2015 championship with the Kansas City Royals, but doing it with the Cubs resonated differently. "Recently, I had a guy basically cry on my shoulder, an officer from the city here," he said, relating how he ran into the man in St. Louis. "To see how emotional it makes people and how much it means to them that we were able to win, I think all the stories people share about their families, that they've experienced the Cubs with their families over all the years, they've lost loved ones that didn't get a chance to see it, it just reminds them of their loved ones. Those are the stories that touch the heart the most." -- Daily Herald Rozner: Party at Wrigley only just beginning By Barry Rozner Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Ladies and gentlemen, attend or not, come in or don't, the party that began Nov. 2 has displayed not the slightest sign of slowing down. It continued in Wrigleyville Monday afternoon, or in some quarters Monday morning, and went all day, the masses well-oiled and well-deserving by game time, by then having witnessed the season of their dreams raised in brilliant colors above the bleachers in center field, a banner to fly as an eternal reminder of 2017. There was the unusual pomp and circumstance at a ballpark that has never known such a celebration, the standard arrangement for teams that have played this tune many times before. It's why you can't blame any Cubs fan that hasn't come down from the high of Game 7, as if Cleveland happened yesterday. The World Series victory may have taken place five months ago, but the parade won't end until rings are handed out Wednesday night in front of the Dodgers, whom the Cubs dispatched here at Wrigley Field in Game 6 when Kyle Hendricks bested Clayton Kershaw. And it's why you wouldn't blame the Cubs themselves if they wanted to be done with it all, if it was becoming something of a distraction more than a week into trying to defend their crown.

ARTICLES It’s Not About the Money: THE ROLE OF PREFERENCES, COGNITIVE BIASES, AND HEURISTICS AMONG PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES Michael A. McCann† I. INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.
