Tribune Corporation CEO Sam Zell has come under fire recently because he's selling the Cubs and Wrigley Field separately in an attempt to maximize his profit.  Or something like that, I'm not really sure. It's kind of complex, and I can't really concentrate because 100% of Chicago fans under the age of 40 have blogs, and all of them expect a national discussion every time Ozzie Guillen speaks or the Bears make a roster change. 

Anyway, despite his anti-traditional stance of selling the naming rights to Wrigley, Zell seems like a pretty down to earth guy:

"Wrigley is an obvious world-wide icon and Wrigley Field is world-wide known. But, in the world of economics, when I bought the Tribune, I didn't get a discount because I wasn't going to use the naming rights that field represents," Zell said… "Perhaps the Wrigley Co. will decide that, after getting it for free for so long, that it's time to pay for it." [...]

"Excuse me for being sarcastic, but the idea of a debate occurring over what I should do with my asset leaves me somewhat questioning the integrity of the debate… There's a lot of people who would like to buy the Cubs and would like to buy the Cubs under their terms and conditions and, unfortunately, have to deal with me," Zell told a CNBC interviewer.

Zell then laughed by sticking out his lower lip and rapidly moving his jaw up and down, and complained that it was impossible for him to get from his favorite top hat store to his preferred monocle shop without having to look at a poor person.
