Thats Jerry Reinsdorf's pimped out shuttle bus.

Oh so that's where the hookers are. I was wondering why we didn't see any walking into the UC for the meeting.

Was wondering that myself.

@NickFriedell Melo's agent Leon Rose right behind him and his business manager Bay Frazier right in front of him.

Nick Friedell ‏@NickFriedell 23s

Cameramen say that Melo's van had a police escort in front and behind it on the way into the United Center.

That dude must be carrying the marketing plans for Melo.

a police escort, does that mean Rahm is in on this too? How sweet would that be if Rahm just shows up and gives Melo the keys to the city lol

So Melo got a police escort, but was still riding in a little hotel shuttle bus? Couldn't we at least send him a limo?

Lets go ahead and just keep Rahm away. If anyone could screw this up - its him.

Oh wait, nevermind we're in Chicago, that won't be a big problem for him long term.

Glad the pitch happened on a nice sunny day, not last night as was originally reported. Creepy midnight meeting during a thunderstorm? Unless Melo is a movie villain it probably wouldn't have worked.

Hopefully Rahm can keep the expletives to a minimum and not fire any teachers while he's there though. :wink:

lol what if Rahm phones his buddy Obama to come down and they both just walk into the meeting room like gangstas

That would sell Melo for sure
