Boozer to the Bulls?

ESPN is reporting that a Carlos Boozer to Chicago in a four-team deal is on the table. They aren't giving specifics of yet, but they are basically reporting Boozer to Chicago, Hinrich to Portland and Tyrus Thomas to Utah. I don't want to get too excited, because often these types of deals often...

Gordon Gone

Ben Gordon is signing a five-year deal worth $55 million dollars to play for the hated Detroit Pistons. I'm a little saddened by this. Gordon's not a superstar, or even an All-Star. He can't play defense to save his life, and he's not much of a passer. But what he's good at he's...

A Bulls Review on the Heels of the Greatest (First Round) Series Ever

Game Seven ended a little over 24 hours ago, and I'm kind of sad that the Bulls season is over. It seems kind of weird to say that, considering how much I loathed the team back in December, but its true. After the big trade , they morphed into a genuinely likable team. And the Bulls-Celts series...

Great Time to be a Chicago Sports Fan

The Bulls and Hawks are looking good in the playoffs, the Cubs and Sox are both coming off playoff appearances and off to a decent start. Oh, and the Bears just traded for a franchise Quarterback, only two seasons removed from a Super Bowl appearance. Has there been a better time to be a Chicago Sports...

Shock and Awe: Bears Trade for Cutler

It's official, the Bears got Jay Cutler from Denver for Kyle Orton, two first rounders, and a third rounder. Denver's also sending a 5th rounder back. They certainly gave up a lot, but I love this deal for the Bears. A franchise QB is coming to a team that has never had one. That's the bottom...

First Van Lier, now Kerr

Arguably the two most popular pre-Jordan Bulls, guys who bleed red and black and have spent the majority of their lives in service to the Bulls, are gone. What a sad day for Chicago. First Norm Van Lier died at age 61, and now Johny "Red" Kerr has died on the very same day. Kerr wasn't...

Bulls overhaul roster; and I like it

No, they didn't get much closer to a 2009 championship with these moves, but they got a little better and freed some cap down the road. What's Old is New Again The Bulls brought back Brad Miller and Tim Thomas. I always liked Miller, I thought the Bulls were dumb for trading him and Ron Artest...

Why I can't get into the Bulls

I like the NBA, I really do. And I really want to like the Bulls; I try and try and try again. But I just can't get into them this year. I watch the Bulls, and I'm mostly disgusted. Poor disjointed play, a few flashes of brilliance, poor disjointed play, then either a tight win or tight loss...

Quick Hits, Random Musings, Whatever

Here goes... The Bears chances for making the playoffs rose exponentially on Tuesday when The Great Girth in Minnesota known as "The Williams Brothers" were both suspended for the remainder of the regular season. Those two behemoths are imperative to the success of the Minnesota defense, and...

Bulls Win Opener

I have to admit that I didn't watch more than 30 seconds of the Bulls preseason. Preseason basketball just doesn't do it for me. But I caught the season opener tonight, and it made lots of first impressions for the 2008-2009 season. Here goes: Here's three guys that impressed me: Derrick...
