  1. Pop quiz. ..can anyone guess how many meaningful (not preseason) games the Rose-Butler-Deng-Boozer-Noah lineup has played together?
  2. They're not done, they're just not going to win a title this year. And that is exactly the jumping to conclusions I'm talking about.
  3. It's not you, it's everyone declaring the Bulls done after one game.
  4. http://danceswithfat.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/jump-to-conclusions-mat.jpg
  5. Yup. Merriweather is a dirty douche but he pretty much owned Marshall there. He hardly "owned" him. No, he owned him. Basically, Marshall opens himself to that any time he publicly criticizes anyone else for the rest of his life. He deflected the attention that his consistent barrage of head hunting illegal hits has gotten him by changing the conversation. And then whatever "ownage" he got over Marshall was lost when he basically admitted he was going to try to take out players knees instead of going after their heads. It was actually a decent segue into his "low blow" talk.
  6. This is a good day to be playing Wilson, Tate, and Zuerlein against Lynch.
  7. The dreaded 4 goal 3rd period lead.
  8. To stop being ladyboys who can't stay healthy over a regular season+playoffs Let's play a game...exactly how many things can people find wrong with the above post?
  9. Also, has there ever been more of a case of "everything to prove" vs "nothing to prove" than the Bulls-Heat game tomorrow? I think the Heat might have less than nothing to prove tomorrow.
  10. 2013-14 Bulls... Best case: Win a title Worse case: Rose blows out his knee, Noah can barely contribute in the playoffs due to plantar fascitis, Deng bed ridden from a hospital mishap, and Boozer ineffective as a result. So...last year.
  11. In addition to the others, I follow Kevin Pelton, Ken Pomeroy, and John Gasaway (and @BullsBlogger, who is obviously a Bull fan but you'd never know it from his tweets bitching about Rose, Thibs and Bulls fans all day).
  12. It's just preseason, but Rose looks really good right now.
  13. UEFA playoff matchups: Ukraine-France Portugal-Sweden Croatia-Iceland Greece-Romania
  14. Mexico just hired their fourth coach in a month, Miguel Herrera.
  15. Kind of want the Cubs to hire Martinez, and then have a full out brawl between the Cubs and Phils at Wrigley, where Martinez and Sandberg go at each other.
  16. At this point, they should just designate all pots by FIFA ranking. EDIT: Such pots would be as follows (* assuming higher ranked team in playoff wins all matches): Pot 1: Brazil (hosts), Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, Uruguay*, Switzerland Pot 2: Netherlands, Italy, England, Chile, USA, Portugal*, Greece*, Bosnia-Herzegovina Pot 3: Ivory Coast*, Croatia*, Russia, Ukraine*, Ecuador, Ghana*, Mexico*, Costa Rica Pot 4: Algeria*, Nigeria*, Honduras, Japan, Tunisia*, Iran, South Korea, Australia
  17. Everyone, the formula for calculation is public.
  18. October FIFA ratings (top 14): 1. Spain 2. Germany 3. Argentina 4. Colombia 5. Belgium 6. Uruguay 7. Switzerland 8. Netherlands 9. Italy 10. England 11. Brazil 12. Chile 13. USA 14. Portugal
  19. They had the most pathetic UEFA qualifying group in human history and rampaged through it, and thus their point total is appropriately overinflated. I want in their group next summer. They have no business being a seeded team. Neither does Columbia or really Uruguay, considering they couldn't even qualify outright. Actually, Switzerland did worse in their group than the Netherlands did in theirs. Switzerland also failed to qualify for Euro 2012, which ended up going better for them than the Netherlands going 0-3.
  20. So, worst case might be something like Spain-Netherlands/Italy-Chile, and best case might be something like Switzerland-Iceland-Australia.
  21. This is how they manage to be fans of a team called Redskins unironically.
  22. State of the World Cup: Assuming Uruguay will beat Jordan. Seeds: Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Switzerland, Uruguay CONMEBOL: Chile, Ecuador UEFA: Netherlands, Italy, England, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Russia, PLAYOFF, PLAYOFF, PLAYOFF, PLAYOFF UEFA playoffs: - High seed: Croatia, Portugal, Greece, Ukraine - Low seed: France, Sweden, Romania, Iceland AFC: Japan, South Korea, Iran, Australia CONCACAF: USA, Costa Rica, Honduras CAF: Ghana/Egypt, Tunisia/Cameroon, Ivory Coast/Senegal, Nigeria/Ethiopia, Burkina Faso/Algeria OFC Playoff: New Zealand/Mexico
  23. That's what, now, two straight cycles that someone in the hex owes us forever for scoring late to back door them into the WC?
  24. That's gross but hilarious WE LOVE YOU! WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER! GOD BLESS AMERICA! Graham Zusi gets free drinks for life in Mexico.
  25. I don't want Mexico to qualify, but I don't want the US to lose either.
