If there is one thing I really have learned to enjoy while being a Cubs fan it is that no matter how the Cubs do during the season the cards fans will always be butthurt.

LOL, butthurt? Coming off of a World Series title and a run to the NLCS? It's funny listening to Cubs fans act like they are relevant.

Cubs GM or as Cubs fans better know him as our messiah.

Not to all Cub fans, and he is actually the Cubs President, and Jed Hoyer is the General Manager.

And yet you still feel the need to comment? Oh wait you don't care right?

While I agree completely with the quote from the original post, Saban is a different animal all together. He's basically a highly skilled mercenary, available to the highest bidder. He'd turn on Alabama for Auburn without a second's hesitation if they offered him more money than he is currently making.

And how many of us would "turn" on our current employer if a competator came in and offered us a 20% or more salary increase to go work for them?

Very good point. Still think it was a pretty shady move to leave MSU right before their bowl game on his way to LSU. Telling his staff & team he's staying in Miami then taking the Alabama job roughly 48 hours later was a bit strange as well.

Then again if you start waving several million dollars in front of me, there's not telling who I might step over or what bridges I would burn to get that cash. I'd like to think I show some loyalty and respect but I've never been in that situation so probably shouldn't throw stones.
