Comeback Kid

Michael Jordan recently ended his 16 month baseball career to once again play for the Chicago Bulls. What do you think of Jordan's return to organized basketball?


John Fitzgerald
Chiropractor
"Jordan should learn from the sad example of Muhammed Ali. If you keep coming back, one day Larry Holmes is going to kick your ass."

Caroline Keene
Gunsmith
"Good Christ, all this fuss over one sports star. What did he do--kill his wife?"

Franklin Dixon
Street Cleaner
"This is just sad example of yet another washed up athlete trading a rich, fulfilling life after basketball for the tarnished remnants of a once-spectacular career. And, of course, twenty million bucks."

George DiSilva
Lumberjack
"When Jordan retired, I got so depressed I considered killing myself. Thanks to his return, I get to look forward to living that hell all over again."

Maxine Grotelueshen
Accountant
"What! Michael Jordan quit baseball?!?"

Debby Denon
Hair Dresser
"Basketball, baseball--who cares? We seem to keep forgetting that Jordan never left the team that really matters--Team Nike."
