  1. Roses is basically using up the majority of his goodwill that he gained over his first 4 years with the Bulls. He was accessible, said all the right things, won an MVP, led the team to the best record in the NBA 2 years in a row, etc. People are frustrated, but the media is going to treat him better than Cutler, who is known to be aloof. I gotta tell ya, I'm chuckling over everyone losing their minds on this. When he comes back, and is his usual self, especially if he has an improved jumper, none of that is going to matter. Everybody's gonna be all giddy that he's back, and move along happily watching him, buying his jerseys, and forgetting that this year even happened. I don't know about forget. Things will be more or less back to normal, but a lot of fans (especially the meatballs, and on this subject I admit to having some meatbally tendencies) aren't going to just fail to remember that he basically punted a season. Unless/until, of course, he leads a team to a championship, which as we've seen over and over again is the cure-all for any athlete, especially an NBA player.
  2. Can't handle mexican food? Well played
  3. LOL just realized I was a couple innings early on Izturis winning the game. If that's my fault I'll take the blame.
  4. GD it Sappelt, just let that drop.
  5. Oh god, Cesar Izturis is just the kind of player who would win this thing.
  6. FSN Ohio managed to show the Bartman play, so there's that. Of course they did. Thom Brennaman is an abortion of a human being.
  7. Joakim Noah is a [expletive] boss. Awesome.
  8. Multiple reports say the current ACC schools (minus Maryland, plus Louisville) have agreed to a media grant of rights. If true, that move would probably spell the end of realignment, or at least the full-scale chaos version of the last 3 years. All the major schools, with the exceptions of the old Big East, would be locked into grant-of-rights deals with their leagues. ETA: Apparently the SEC doesn't have a grant of rights, nor do they even have a buyout, but I'm not sure why any school would leave that league right now anyway.
  9. huh? I take it you disagree with my rankings. It was pretty obvious SCS was saying the idea of a Cubs' "playoff rotation" of any kind is insane, not because of any ranking you made.
  10. Great, the NFC South wasn't stacked enough. Carolina already had the #1-rated most difficult schedule in the league before the Revis move.
  11. I'm really, really curious to see if there's any pressure on his job by the end of the year. My guess is no, but who knows? Theo's not stupid, he knows there's nothing Dale can too with this team. I can't say there's a great deal of things Dale does that I disagree with, which is better than I can say for any of his predecessors that I've followed.
  12. This whole last 2 months, once it became pretty obvious Rose wasn't coming back and the rest of the team was going to be banged up, I have lost almost all excitement. I have almost very little excitement for the playoffs and I feel horrible about that, but it's just how I feel. I'm going to watch the playoff games because they're the playoffs, but I haven't watched a minute of Bulls' basketball outside the Heat 27-game-stopper since probably the All-Star break.
  13. It would be humane at this point to quit screwing with the fanbase and just declare him out for the year. Idk. I think anyone still holding out hope deserves the disappointment. Well, I don't think anyone really is, or at least anyone who pays attention. But it's insulting at this point for the team to leave the door open when he's clearly not coming back.
  14. It was doing that to me on my PS3 last night. Working tonight though.
  15. It would be humane at this point to quit screwing with the fanbase and just declare him out for the year.
  16. do the new divisions start in 2013? Yikes, the East is a bear New divisions start in 2014.
  17. OMG that was hysterical. I'm cracking up.
  18. I don't think he's even on the Mt. Rushmore of worst closers, sadly enough.
