Is ESPN joking?

In it's article on the Zambrano suspension, the following statement is made.....

 

Normally, you could excuse an outburst like that, given the pressures facing any player vying for the prestigious, legacy-building BP Cup.

 

They are making this thing out to be bigger than the Stanley Cup.....and for most Chicago sports fans, I think they could care less about the trophy.

 

If they were being sarcastic, so be.....but read the article and judge for yourself. The statement doesn't appear to be made in a sarcastic nature. (it's beginning sentence of the 8th paragraph)....

Yes.

 

And f*** Chicago for not dumping the BP sponsorship.. but I guess it fits right in to accept dirty money in these parts.

Pretty sure they didn't have much of a choice
