  1. Maybe. Other priorities though, IMHO. Also, Wells isn't the only significant center available this offseason. How little we missed Olin. Actually I hadn't even thought about him from September until just now.
  2. with carimi and adams as bookends, and williams at LG, the line would have its core for many years. That would be nice. At long last, not worrying about our patchwork line.
  3. That means a jump in the % of time Gruden's voice will be heard.
  4. Nah, Rose passed away a few days ago. They just haven't figured out how to break the news. It's a tough press release to have to write.
  5. I'm not a pro when it comes to concrete, but I have heard from a friend who is that it can be done in winter -- it needs to be heated first, and it's more difficult to make it work right. Costs are higher. I know my company is busy building as I write. A large building, and they are heating/pouring concrete for it. It's a mild winter, to be sure.
  6. I'd post that trainwreck picture, but it's not worth the effort.
  7. I thought so. But what do I know? I'd do this. Let's settle the issue of Wrigley renovation once and for all. It will cost us one solitary season away from the friendly confines. Do it.
  8. Yeah, just rest Rose until he's better. Nothing matters if he can't go.
  9. 14 road games left / 12 home games -- just counting off the schedule. Doesn't look like much of a home run from here on out. This is pretty ugly stuff. We're missing the playoffs unless something happens to wake this club up.
  10. Wow, Rose-less Bulls can't beat the Celtics in Boston. Big whoop. Onward...
  11. I don't know about anyone else, but Knox's injury was so horrifying that I really didn't believe any of the reports. I expected him to be out for a good long time, and maybe forever (or at least never back to what he was). That was one of the ugliest things I've ever seen on a football field.
  12. Right there, he dribbled, squirmed from side-to-side, failed, and got off a terrible shot all by himself. Yeah, not a fan.
  13. When Korver is given the opportunity to be a ball-handler, many sad faces result throughout Chicagoland.
  14. I give them credit for being within striking distance at halftime. With Rose out, and the long road trip, this seems like a good opportunity to mail it in. I know that's not popular to say but this game really isn't all that important to us. And Magic just mentioned he was surprised Rose was played so much against NO... Just mail this in and don't get anyone else hurt. Think of how amazing this team would be without nagging injuries to pretty much all our consequential players.
  15. That explains why he wants out. I guess the Bulls cheerleading squad needs a few more lookers.
  16. What's your pet theory on this? I have no idea, but stamping your face and shouting they're stupid!! doesn't seem to be working. I don't see any shouting in here, at all. No stamping of faces either. You do like your embellishments when it comes to this stuff.
  17. Well, you are consistently butt-hurt every time the Bulls win, so I guess this is a good excuse to start a referendum on what's wrong with Derek Rose. Figures.

    SUPER BOWL 46

    If people were that hard up for violence wouldn't they be watching hockey, which is faster and bloodier? No cheerleaders. Seriously, there are guys, esp at the top of the NFL target age, for whom cheerleaders are still a big deal. These guys grew up when naked women were not a simple GIS away. No cheerleaders aren't the primary reason for the NFL's popularity, but time of the week, time of the year, and violence are very very much so. And cheerleaders fit very nicely with that mix. Fine, but what is the point of all this again? Who cares if there are cheerleaders or the NFL has violence in it? Edit: and I don't mean I don't care about the effects of violence, but it's on every prime time TV show everywhere. So is sex. I'm not sure why this would become an issue specific to NFL discussion.
  19. Maybe he just doesn't have very much between the ears.

    SUPER BOWL 46

    Yeah, I don't watch any sporting event all the way through anymore. It all goes on as background noise. I watch off n' on. Probably why half the stuff I post on here misses some key point or another. I'm not really paying all that close attention. Kind of embarrassing I guess :)
  21. It was legitimately 90% Bulls fans in the building. Makes sense. Looks like the Bulls have the top home attendance in the league for 2012, and are 6th in road attendance (why are the Jazz & Suns ahead of us?). The Bucks are 24th in home attendance. Maybe if the winter had been colder, Milwaukee would have more reason to go to the Bradley center.

    That does seem to suggest she wasn't lip syncing, unless her sound engineer was very quick with the control and turned it off to save her. Which I suppose is possible, but probably not.

    You know what's kinda fun? Watching Boston weep and Boston-based players explaining why they failed. I genuinely hope for more -- many, many more -- of these moments in the future.

    SUPER BOWL 46

    It's a lip sync act. She doesn't really know any different. Suffice it say I'm glad it's not my style of music. I guess if you like dance routines and pre-recorded music that people pretend to perform, you like this. It boggles my mind that for the #1 TV sporting event for 18-49 year old men, they keep picking performers that would alienate that audience. Yeah, they've had U2 and Springsteen and Petty, which were okay, but why trot out Madonna or Britney or Janet Jackson? Makes zero sense I don't understand why this boggles your mind. Think about it. Do you really believe 18-49 year old men are going to abandon the Super Bowl because the halftime act blows chunks?
