The cost of winning? Ditka and Kerr on what's next for Joe Maddon

CHICAGO -- Breaking the Chicago Cubs’ championship drought hasn't shielded manager Joe Maddon from a heavy dose of criticism.

His controversial World Series decisions already have brought public scrutiny in Chicago and beyond -- during postseason charity events he’s attended and at MLB's winter meetings. Later this week, there’s a good chance he’ll face another round of questions when the Cubs hold their annual fan convention.

Isn’t hanging a banner -- especially such a long-awaited one -- enough to quiet the critics?

Former Chicago Bulls star Steve Kerr knows from his playing days, and now as coach of the Golden State Warriors, that the scrutiny only increases after winning a championship.
