If one day this website starts making more money than my real job, then Ill start worrying about rolls of the dice, and whether or not Im considered a legitimate source of sports information.

...and paying for images :D

So who on the Score said there's a chance he will play...?

Best part about this thread is I could give a s*** if Derrick Rose ever plays again.

Whoever the update guy is right now. I'll admit, I don't know his name. But I've been listening all day and hearing "out" and wondering why they were saying that when it hasn't been stated, and then definitely noticed the change to "chance he'll play" with the last one.

lol. will 7 pm please get here. I want to see mayhem and chaos.

This has the decision written all over it...

 

 

Some of you people need to get off your high horse. People far more reputable than Steve were posting complete bulls*** during the Lebron saga.

I was always shocked that that sonofab**** could hit a shot.

And just to be fair to Steve, why wasnt Felix hating on Cowley for doing the same thing:

 

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/18904555-41...vs-nuggets.html

 

Contrary to rumor, Derrick Rose not playing Monday vs. Nuggets

 

Headline and the report are conflicting:

 

That means a full-go in practice Sunday and a re-evaluation Monday. Then it’s up to Rose to decide if he’s ready to return.

 

So the headline says, definitely not playing. But the info says "re-evaluated".

 

Now cowley, unlike steve, is writing for a national newspaper and being paid a large sum. You would think that someone like Felix who cares about journalistic integrity, would be far more upset about a major media news outlet using sensationalism, than a fan based blog.

 

Even today's article Cowley flat out misleads the reader:

 

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/basketball/...status-quo.html

 

Thibs said "unlikely" that means there is a chance. A true reporter, would say that there is a chance Derrick Rose would play, and there is possibly some truth to the rumors.

 

But we are talking about journalism, where sensationalism sells and facts are thrown away.

 

So before you crucify Steve, ask yourself has he done something that is worse than people who are actually being paid to tell you good information?

 

The answer is no.

Today is March 18, 2013

 

Coincidence? ;)

Also, Tupac is still alive

The funny part is that I thought steve was going to be proven wrong by about 12 today, and that all I was going to be reading was attacks/hate.

 

I actually cant believe there is a chance I will leave work tonight not knowing if steve was right.

I think if there's one takeaway from this thread, it's that Soxbadger is without question the most annoying human being in the world.

Please put me on ignore.

 

Thanks in advance.

Why are you guys keep on saying there still is a chance he will play tonight?

 

Just went through an hour of my feed not a single mention of Derrick Rose period.

 

Please note I do not follow flapship on twitter.

Because the only reputable site, Rotoworld, has yet to declare who the Bulls active list is for tonight, and that includes updates on Taj and Hinrich.

 

Add that to the fact that Steve was told that Rose was going to be playing tonight.

 

Maybe hell be wrong, but he feels confident in his source and that is his call not mine.

 

Only reason Soxbadger is posting so much is because he's involved with the site.

 

BTW Badger, Cowley saying "not playing" doesn't stir the pot, and he's probably dealing with real sources.

Fair enough. He really would be beating everyone else to the punch.
