hard to believe im reading this

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 11:48 AM) Magic Johnson became advisor before the entire front office in LA was whacked. There is nothing bad about bringing in Doug Collins, nothing. People are going to whine...its what people do best, but I give credit to where credit is due, this is a smart move by the Bulls. Collins is a smart basketball mind and extremely well respected. Him being a part of this organization does nothing but help. Maybe it only helps a little...but I don't see it hurting. I see this akin to the White Sox bringing in someone like Tony LaRussa as a special advisor. It would be a fantastic move, even if he played just a small role, that type of mind / perspective would be valuable. Up until this past season, I never whined about this front office. I even defended them. Everything they have done is to deflect responsibility off of their terrible moves and put it on everyone but themselves. This isnt Magic Johnson nor is it Tony Larussa. This is a guy who repeatedly gets canned for wearing on players and front offices. Doug Collins is a brilliant basketball mind, but this is a sweet retirement-not-retiring gig for him. He even said its about being close and being able to watch Chris coach and also watch bulls games in the stands.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 11:41 AM) I don't understand how hiring Doug Collins sends you out. Doug Collins, a legitimately good dude in the NBA. Maybe not the best coach in the world (but solid and someone who knows the game), but extremely well respected and a man who has JR's ear. He also has very strong relationships in the league in general (and since everyone, rightfully so, knocks the lack of respect Gar has in this league and probably to a large extent Paxson), the fact that the Bulls are bringing in someone who has a very good reputation around league circles...is a good thing. Sure people can want Gar/Pax fired and this might actually be the first step to that. IT could also be nothing but a bunch of hot air with Collins doing nothing at all....but even then, I can't see this being a BAD move. Seriously Jason, what is Doug Collins really gonna do? Its a shield hire. Its a "hey everyone look at this guy everyone likes and has a history with this organization" hire. He isnt a scout. He isnt signing players. he isnt recruiting players. He is gonna be a figurehead and watch some games and maybe say some things in meetings every once in a while.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) "Joakim Noah the hardest worker in a long time." Yeah, ok. The guy who constantly came into camp out of shape. The guy who never added ANYTHING to his game? He relied purely on athleticism and on court effort. That is why his game tanked so hard when he lost athleticism. He tried as hard as anybody while on the court. I'll give him that. But joe was not a hard worker. The Noah stuff was kind of odd, I had no problem watching him walk last year because his knees were done. Everything else i agreed with

Open letter to the Chicago Bulls

QUOTE (ron883 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) As good as fulmers numbers have looked, I don't have faith in him. He'll be lucky to be a successful reliever. Id love for him to make me eat crow, but I don't forsee that happening. Well at least there is a nice line in the minors that can replace him now, whereas last year we were like "Fulmer, you are our only hope "

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 09:19 AM) I think you're going a little overboard here. Yes, Trump is more direct and threatening about it, but it's not like that hasn't been said before by a US President. Obama used those very words (edit: albeit not in front of the UN assembly), and I think dating back to Clinton the threat of military force has always been put out there. That said, this picture summed up the whole speech to me. There is a couple shots of Nikki Haley also where you can see her thinking "oh s*** more fires to put out"

The centerfield camera angle messes me up everytime I watch these games at Houston

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 06:31 PM) Trump called Erdogan last week to apologize to him about the incident where Erdogan's thugs beat up protestors in the US. He loves those dictators

I forgot the Sox swept them earlier. Well, this could be interesting. Hopefully Giolito pitches 7 strong and the bullpen blows it

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 06:49 PM) If you have nothing to add, then you have nothing to add. Would be easier if you just said that rather than engaging in your repeat act of belittling posters. Im not about to listen to what you tell me to do on this board any more than you listen to anyone else when they ask you to stop your tired act of freaking out about Reinsdorf. Have a good night Thad

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 06:19 PM) I didn't belittle anybody. I was responding to a point Lip made, who is one of my favorite posters on this board. He made a reference to the "good things" the owner has done for the franchise, and I'm just curious as to what he's referring to, outside of the achievements of the glorious 2005 season, to which I give the owner all his deserved acclaim in an earlier post. So nothing negative going on here. If you have anything positive to add yourself, if your thinking is in line with what maybe Lip is referring to, then by all means, add on! Oh aren't you awesome with your passive aggressive act. Can't wait for the next time you repeat it. I'm "looking forward to it"! QUOTE (Scoots @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 06:36 PM) I thought so...just a little misinterpretation going on Nah. We can call it "seen this before" much more than "misrepresentation"

Am I wrong to be surprised that every time they come back with a new bill, it is somehow worse than the previous bill that everyone found to be evil and cruel?

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 04:54 PM) I keep seeing people throw out Fernando Rodney. Dude's got 38 saves on a playoff bound team. What makes people think he'd want to just ship for a rebuilding team being 40 years old?!?! Look at his career, that's all he does is jump ship lol

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 04:49 PM) Keep it positive, please, or at least follow along. We're are simply discussing the "good things" the owner has done for the franchise, as referenced by another poster. Would be better you add to that list and actually contribute to the discussion rather than settling into your own usual repeat mode of belittling posters. Oh you were being positive while belittling someone for appreciating JR? My bad my bad. Do continue

Hey Look, it's Thad. Repeating himself.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 02:25 PM) What makes you think there isn't something like that now. It doesn't appear so but you never know with what they can invent in a lab. I think it's more the ball right now. That's very true, but now it seems so much more spread out. Back in the 90s they had multiple players breaking 60, getting 40 was no big deal, 50 was impressive but attainable. Now it just seems like everyone has 10-20 with one guy breaking 50 and only two at the moment with 40

It's disappointing that Josh Bellamy gets to drop multiple balls every game and keep a job when other WRs keep getting cut. I know he plays ST well, but he has actually had to play a lot of WR the last two seasons and it has not been pretty

QUOTE (SoxFan2003 @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 02:31 PM) You thought "rocket man" was cute the first time you heard it? I'm not saying I did, but you know people in the White House were like "THATS GREAT"

QUOTE (ptatc @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 02:27 PM) He did have that bad penalty during the game. I'm sure he'll go to the practice squad. He had a penalty? I remember a bad drop, what was his penalty? False start?

wasnt there a really large earthquake off the coast of Mexico when the hurricanes were hitting a few weeks ago?

The UNGA just laughed at Trump for criticizing socialism

Have you ever had your child(usually toddler age) say something over and over because one time you thought it was cute but now it's annoying AF because they keep saying it over and over? That is "rocket man"

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 09:36 AM) I think he is the most intriguing guy on the list. Could probably be had for a Holland type deal. Let's hope we don't get Holland-type results Jeremy Hellickson seems like a guy who could use a little coop in his life too
