I’m too angry to get into it too much, but the Bulls are the worst team ever. I don’t mean that literally, but in terms of watchability they score a 0 on a scale of 1-10. The lackluster effort is frustrating, but what’s more frustrating is Vinny Del Negro’s complete lack of competency. While there [...]

The Dan Le Batard Show has given us more gold from Randy Moller, the color commentator for the Florida Panthers. Moller, in case you’re unfamiliar, has become somewhat famous for his pop culture referencing goal calls. Here is the latest version, with some gems for sure.

Within five minutes of turning on the Illinois game, I knew it was a more enjoyable game to watch than the bulls game. This turned out to be true – and could be true of the entire season for both teams. The Illini have bounced back from a couple of ugly losses to Utah and [...]

Ricky over at Tremendous Upside Potential stumbled on this the other day. Apparently some guy is making youtube videos of all of Michael Jordan’s greatest moments recreated on NBA 2K10. Check this one out, then go over to the youtube page and watch the rest (if you’re unemployed or trying to get fired of course).

Wow…. what do you say after you lose to the 1-19 New Jersey Nets? I don’t even want to stick around to hear what Vinny Del Negro says in his post-game press conference. This loss is inexcusable, as were several others in this current 1-8 tailspin. Sure the players sleepwalked through the first half and [...]

Wait, so you’re saying the Bulls cannot win a game without their backup point guard? Yes, that is what I am saying. Is that a bad sign for this team? Probably. But the cold hard truth is that without Kirk the Bulls lack of backcourt depth has been severely exposed. Hinrich’s value to the team [...]

It seems almost certain that Lovie will be fired at the end of this season, barring some sort of miraculous win streak or something equally unlikely. Whoever the Bears bring in to be head coach after him will probably get to hire his own staff, which includes offensive coordinators. That being said, Charlie Weis was [...]

I know this sounds extremely odd, but any sort of win that is even loosely connected with the Bulls feels like a godsend these days. While the current incarnation of the Chicago Bulls probably couldn’t win a game of rock-paper-scissors right now, past championship Bulls continue to have success. Recently Michael Jordan was elected into [...]

Stormin Norman’s Record (2-2)
Okay okay, it appears my hubris got the best of me. After bragging about my 2-0 start last week, I made 2 awful picks to even up my record at 2-2. How could the Suns lose? I’m going to need to make 2 good picks this week to bounce back. Don’t abandon [...]

PhillyBurbs.com is reporting that Pat Burrell has been traded from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Cubs, who then dealt him to the Mets:
Former Phillies outfielder Pat Burrell has reportedly been swapped twice this morning, eventually landing with Phils division rival the New York Mets.
The Tampa Bay Rays traded the slugging left fielder to the [...]

To have expected the Bulls to be any better than 7-11 at this point in the season would have been delusional. Like I have said 10 million times, the Bulls are at best a .500 team (maybe 39-43 wins), and they just finished the toughest part of their schedule (5th toughest opponent winning percentage so [...]

The Bulls game was not a pretty affair last night, and I’m not just talking about the blowout the Cleveland LeBrons put on Chicago. Noah, frustrated with his play perhaps but also annoyed with LeBron’s showboating and celebrating too much, started barking at LeBron from the bench. LeBron took exception to that and [...]

From the desk of JavierSandooski (formerly known as Ethan):
I miss having a pro hoops team to root for. Why don’t I get behind the Bulls? One answer, three (maybe two?) words: Vinny Del Negro. He’s a bad coach. Sure Stormin’ Norman – we have a decent defense this year. Whatever. This guy cannot draw an [...]

If you have a few minutes to spare, this video is absolutely hilarious. It is a parody of what people in the year 3000 will think about the Beatles. Yes, Scottie Pippen was a member of the Beatles, or did you forget?
