Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

(Semi OT) Doug Collins for the Bulls?!

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3417029

 

Just one short year ago, a lot of us (myself included) thought that the Bulls were headed for a 50 win season.  Instead, their team rampantly quit on Coach Skiles's weird, control freak ways, and the young promising players got nowhere despite obviously outplaying the more seasoned players starting ahead of them.

 

So they hire another control freak coach who refuses to play young players, and thought Popeye Jones at 42 or whatever was better than a young Branden Haywood?!  The guy so unbearable to his players that he's never lasted three years at any team, despite obviously being one of the smartest, driven, and prepared coaches?

 

Who's the genius there?  John Paxson or Jerry Reinsdorf?

Pax...probably

Word is that Collins is his mentor or somethin’. Popeye was actually 142 years old

142 years

was the TOTAL age of the body parts that were sewn together and collectively, colloquially referred to as “Popeye Jones.” The average age was closer to a spry 34.

I would like to see popeye jones and kurt thomas have a blinking contest.

It would be like all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
