I managed to go to four or five games a year during the championship years. Like watching any sport, there is a difference between actually being there and seeing the game on television. It is hard to pick up the subtleties and physicality of the game - any game - when watching it on television. I have never seen a more graceful human being than Michael Jordan. I have also not seen an athlete as competitive as he was. Guys like Walter Payton and Brett Favre come close. The difference is that Jordan literally had the ability to take over a game and win it with minimal assistance. While his post-Bulls and personal life got a bit sloppy, I still consider him to be one of the class acts in professional sports. Its too bad his relationship with the Bulls ended on a sour note. Hopefully that gets patched up some day. I worked with two woman who had at one time worked for "Michael", as they called him. One was with him for six years. All of their comments about him were positive. There were a few stories about the family that I can't post in a public forum. Damn, I miss those days. During that period I scheduled my life around the team. There was hardly a game, home or away, that I missed. The same goes for the 85 Bears. I don't think that I missed one minute of that season.
