He'll take years off then come back when Messi is still in his prime.

Pep stepping down at end of the season. Oh snap! Jose!? Wenger?! Someone else?! I think they should hire David Moyes.

Oh [expletive]! My two casual club interests in the big show!

We'll see your Higuain and raise you a Tomas Muller. Redic.

Hmmm...it's 109 minutes into this crucial game and we need a spark. Gee...sure would be nice to have a world class striker with fresh legs to put in. OH WAIT. Always nice to have an Higuain laying around.

Soccer is behaving like baseball today. This Chelsea team is the equivalent of the 2006 Cardinals. Bad, full of drunks and a shell of their former strength.

Stfu, Barcelona. Spoiler'd for gifness.

That was a big moment for Ronaldo's legacy. If he puts out in the champions league final, he should get the Balon D'Or. Also, Jose's 3 year plan > your manager's 3 year plan.

How disappointing would a Bayern-Chelsea final be? Super disappointing.

It's weird that Gus Johnson is doing radio play-by-play for San Jose Earthquakes games. What's that about? Polishing soccer chops for eventual big TV gig so he doesn't go all Dave O'Brien on a World Cup? If so, that's a great move by him. This according to Grant Wahl's twitter.

Also, the last two champions league spots in La Liga are always changing hands. Which is more than can be said for even England where we can guess 6 of the top 7 every year.

D Rose's groin is the wildcard. He needs to prove it's rust and not injury before I count out even the 8 seed.

It's about understanding the game, not just being fatalistic for the sake of it. I don't sit around watching Bulls games thinking, "oh this sucks, why am I wasting my time?" I watch Bulls games thinking, "I sure do love NBA basketball and the Bulls." Just like I did when Kirk Hinrich was our best player and just like I did when Jalen Rose was our best player and just like I did when Elton Brand was our best player and just like I did when Michael Jordan was our best player. Thinking this roster is good enough as is to win a championship is fine as a fan, I guess. I certainly hope the Bulls front office doesn't share those beliefs. I think this roster is good enough to conceivably win it all, but it's not good enough to more than likely win it all. I want my team to be the best, and I guess I just remember the Knicks, Jazz, Suns and Pacers in the 90's too well to be ok with my favorite team following in their footsteps. Obviously parity is better now because Michael Jordan isn't in his prime, but being the third or fourth best team at the end of the playoffs sucks compared to being the best. Understanding the difference between someone saying they're probably not going to win it and they're definitely not going to win it is maybe a subtlety that is lost on you, so I'm going to go ahead and speak for everyone in this thread who thinks the Heat and Thunder are a better constructed team for a playoff run and say explicitly: The Bulls, as currently constructed, are probably not going to win the NBA Championship. Because their two direct competitors are still in their prime and will be for some time, the Bulls need to upgrade their roster.

This drives me nuts. Why? Why can't we look at last year and see that they did exactly that? Sweeping them in the regular season and then losing 4-1 in the playoffs wasn't a fluke and it did actually happen, so no offense, but saying we aren't allowed to make that argument or expect the same outcome is stupid. Hey guys! You know that thing that definitely already happened? It's definitely not going to happen again so don't even bring it up, k?

Giuseppi Rossi just tore his ACL again. Tough luck for that guy, right when his career was hitting the next level.

We swept them in the reg last year. Just 'sayin, friend.

Watson, Korver & Asik.+114 in 97 total minutes. Thibs 4 lifetime contract asap.

Well that's just sad.

How was your nap, Jo?

CJ WANTS THE GLENGARRY LEADS (more Mamet humor, you guys)!

Get out of Taj's washing machine (spin cycle ((dumb))).

I love a CJ heat check. Giant balls on that guy.

Is that directed at me? It doesn't matter regardless. But the 2011 ECF mattered.
