We're doing an online scrimmage of sorts to find out what the worst Chicago sports jersey purchase in recent history has been. Since it's too easy to pick on the Bears 1st round woes, we(I) have selected my 'CSF worst jersey purchase ever' for each of the 5 professional ball clubs in Chicago. If you own one of these jerseys, you know who you are, let's just say that's strike one on your jersey buying career.
98 Bears - Curtis Enis - the only reason I say this guy is because not only did he flop in the NFL but he also changed numbers wearing both 39 and 44 in his brief stint with the Bears. Either way you lose.
93 Blackhawks - Eric Lecompte - I can just see it now. Hawks front office chompin at the bit after Chris Pronger, Scott Niedermayer, Paul Kariya, Saku Koivu were drafted feeling like it was a no lose situation. Then they end up with Eric Lecompte. I did a search for 'Eric Lecompte Blackhawks' and this is the first of very few hawks photos that popped up (none of which Lecompte was in) which says a lot about where he ended up being that Scotty Bowman is the top hit. The other two hawks that came up on the search were Bobby Hull & Tony Esposito.
97 Bulls - Keith Booth - This was a tough one since most of the above average decent Bulls 1st rounders ended up on other teams while the Bulls held onto a series of bad 1st rounders. Runner-up here is Marcus Fizer. I can see the guy in the front row having just spent $149 on an authentic Booth jersey waiting to yell something original like, 'Boooooooooooth' along the same lines of 'Alouuuuuuuuu' (Cubs) or 'Mooooooooose' (Bears), and never getting the chance cause it turned out his game was at a 3rd graders level.
I'm actually tired now of looking up old Chicago sports 1st rounders. Remember we're only ACSF so we had to look up the info because we're not DH(die hards). Tune in next time on ACSF for the Cubs/Sox 1st round debacles.
