Jimmy Rollins always pisses opposing team's fans off with his cockiness, but the cockier he is, the better the whole team seems to play (trust me, they're missing him right now).

I guess what I'm saying is, being you're a fan of the Hawks, I see exactly where you are coming from. But like fans from opposing teams of the three athletes I mentioned above, I still don't like the guy!

Totally understand, Joel....I don't think a lot of people outside of Chicago do right now.

Funny thing is, I actually like Pronger....I blame the refs for giving him a little too much leeway, but that ain't his fault.
