RosenBile Q&A: Jimmy Butler, the Bears and Joe Maddon's T-shirts

The prophetic email came from Ron V.: "Careful what you ask for Steve, I suspect you’re going to get a lot of responses.’"

Indeed, we’re gonna need a bigger boat. Or a bigger Mailbag of Bile.

So, here’s another edition, and remember, you can send your venom to srosenbloom@chicagotribune.com or tweet @steverosenbloom.

Please Please Please stop drinking whatever you are drinking re Butler. Top 5 or 10 player in the league to build around. Just ask the 76ers and Pelicans and Minnsota how much a sure thing are lottery picks. It is fool’s gold. You are talking another 5-7 years of darkness. Wouldn’t your rather start with a great young proven commodity AND he also plays defense – what college player plays defense. Be smart, build around him and clean other parts of the house. — Michael S. Devorkin

Looks like 5-7 years of darkness trying to build around Butler, too. I’m still unconvinced he could be the best player on a championship team. I think he’s more Marian Hossa than Jonathan Toews right now.

Do you think Maddon will make t-shirts for this year that say "Try not to take your best starter out early in game 7"? — Isaac M.

Dibs.

Any organization with a ten year track record of futility, including even religious organizations for God sake, would change leadership. How does Ted Phillips do it? — Philip H.

It’s magic. Not just anyone can grow up to be a Senior Disorganization Figure in a heritage sports franchise and not have the heritage sports franchise see the problem.

I was horrified when the Pathetic Bears hired Fox to begin with but now, letting this pompous loser continue to what can loosely called "coaching" is the end for me. My question is, when they do Fire fox, is it possible the Bears hire someone worse? Bring back Marc T? — Stephen R.

I think you just answered your own question.

Death is not an option Bears ability to draft VS Bulls ability to draft #DecadeOfDispair #SellTheTeam — Kevin T.

Hey, pal, get your own cheap-shot gimmick.

I’m sure you will agree that the battery of Giovanni Soto and Geovany Soto will represent the crowning achievement of the post World Series White Sox era. — Russ W.

Or James Shields and, I don’t know, anyone.

Tix have been in my family for over 60 years. Can't believe they raise in prices after this awful season. — Rob B.

Wait, 60 years and you still haven’t figured out this franchise?

Really, we needed you to tell us the Bulls R a Mess? Where do you start with this group of mostly Klown Kar drivers? — Hank A.

The Reinsdorf red noses? The Forman floppy shoes?

Dear Stevie Sunshine, who could not love you? — Bob W.

You want to take this one, Gar?

Fred Footwipe. Nice. You are such a class act. — Joseph

Mwah.

How do you rebuild like the Cubs? Maybe you can send some pointers to the Bears. — Ned S.

First thing is, you shouldn’t have to hire a consultant to explain what a quarterback looks like.

We both know that you're a poor man's Bernie Lincicome, but with the return of Bernie to the Trib, do we still need you? — Larry Shutske

I’m good with that comp. It’s better than being a poor man’s Larry Shutske.
