Wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't report the news that didn't wasn't so flattering to my hometown teams. Here's some press that won't be making any Chicago Bulls press releases any time soon. Of course, it's certainly not the Bulls fault that a horrible human being of this sort happens to fall into the "big tent" that is their fan base. When you're a huge international … [Read more...] about VIDEO: big Chicago Bulls fan also a ruthless Islamist Terrorist

Chicago Bulls Pau Gasol is very interested in medical science
I was courtside for the last time Pau Gasol suited up for the Los Angeles Lakers. It was the evening the Lakers debuted their black "Hollywood Nights" uniforms. What a way for Gasol to go out, a home blow-out loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, the laughing stock of the NBA. Actually, the Bucks are so bad they might be a laughingstock in the ACC. And on New Year's Eve no … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls Pau Gasol is very interested in medical science
More Money For Sports In Brazil And Chicago, More Problems

Going in and out of commercials you get the blimp views of the stadia … [Read more...] about More Money For Sports In Brazil And Chicago, More Problems
Rick Telander Tied Chicago Violence To NBA Free Agency For Some Reason
He did it. It wasn’t easy. It took a lot of pandering, false parallels, unfair doling out of responsibilities, and a pinch of dog whistle, but Rick Telander managed to connect this city’s position in NBA free agency to the plague of gun violence here. It’s brilliant in its absurdity, magnificent in how dually counterproductive it is to both the topic of sports contracts … [Read more...] about Rick Telander Tied Chicago Violence To NBA Free Agency For Some Reason
Why can’t the Chicago Bulls ever land big name free agents?
Carmelo Anthony is not coming to the Chicago Bulls, that's just reality. They're not getting Pau Gasol either. Lance Stephenson doesn't fit the system. So your biggest name free agent addition would be Trevor Ariza or Chandler Parsons. Sorry, Chicago Bulls fans, quoting 1990s 2-hit wonder The Rembrandts "that's just the way it is baby." You recall the hard core recruiting of … [Read more...] about Why can’t the Chicago Bulls ever land big name free agents?
Twitter reacts to Carmelo Anthony visiting the Chicago Bulls
Happy Carmelo Anthony visits Chicago day. This isn't the 2010 NBA free agent summer of love, but it's still a great "silly season." I truly get into this aspect of the league way more than the actual games. I love the business/transaction part of the NBA. As predictable and boring as this year's NBA Finals, and Conference Finals were, my feelings are in the opposite for this … [Read more...] about Twitter reacts to Carmelo Anthony visiting the Chicago Bulls

Derrick Rose is not interested in recruiting; and this isn’t news
Derrick Rose isn't known to be much of an active recruiter of NBA free agents. But that doesn't mean he's not interested in getting the Chicago Bulls to add more pieces.He is very competitive; and quite interested in making the team better. It's just that he's bad at talking. This isn't news. Rose is a less than effective and engaging public speaker, and as 2012-13 showed us … [Read more...] about Derrick Rose is not interested in recruiting; and this isn’t news
How can Cameron Bairstow fit in with the Chicago Bulls?
The Chicago Bulls selected Cameron Bairstow with the No. 49 pick in the draft last night, and the reaction consisted of comments in the vain of: "They drafted another white guy?!" Well, the former 6'10" power forward of the New Mexico Lobos might actually have a role with the Bulls come next season. … [Read more...] about How can Cameron Bairstow fit in with the Chicago Bulls?
