This is truly weird. The Chicago Cubs have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
To answer the next question:
The Baltimore Orioles were sold in a bankruptcy auction in 1993 after owner Eli Jacobs filed for Chapter 11. The same happened to the Seattle Pilots after the 1969 season. The new owners moved the team to Milwaukee and changed the name to the Brewers.
I have a feeling we’ve seen the end of the Jim Zorn era in Washington. When you lose to Detroit and Carolina, that’s a bad sign. Likewise, I’m thinking we’ve seen the end of the Wade Phillips and Tony Romo era in Dallas; the Cowboys struggled to beat the hapless Chiefs, and lost the opener in the PleasureDome. Jerry Jones isn’t going to put up with that when he has to sell tickets to the billion dollar monstrosity.
In other news, Cleveland is off the loser list after a titanic offensive battle against Buffalo, leaving us with only four NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
Tennessee
Kansas City
Tampa
St. Louis
