Since I really have nothing else beyond “yippee” to add, here are some miscellaneous draft day observations.
- Oh wait, I do have something to add! The Bulls totally need to change their jerseys and logo. The current threads still remind everyone of MJ and crew. That was 10 years ago, and now Rose is leading a new charge. Time to change the wardrobe. Cleveland did it after they got LeBron and Denver did it after they got Carmelo. Plus the Bulls don’t really have any sweet throwbacks, so in like twenty years when they go back to the look they wore last year, everyone can think of happier times when MJ, Pip, Bill Wennington, and Dickie Simpkins were ruling the streets. I don’t want anything too crazy, but you got to change it up.
- Over at The GM’s live blog (which is totally awesome and something we need to do here asap. You guys pick an event that you'd like to watch with a laptop in front of you and we will live blog the shit out of that thing), an event of which I was an iatrical part, the Indy guys were pretty bummed about the trade of Jerryd Bayless. Rightfully so, since he would have given the Pacers not one but two good players. Rats. Someone over there called Larry Bird a poor man’s John Paxson, but even I wouldn’t go that far with Pax’s level of incompetence. Bird is like the
WillowOver the Top of NBA GMs.
- Though The GM was pissed about the trade with Portland, he seemed to be pretty excited to bring Josh McRoberts’ hot mom into the fold. He went as far to say, well, um, this:
10:39 The GM - McRoberts mom's taint is legendary
Alright.
Still after looking at this picture of her, I’m not exactly sure what the big deal is. Hey, he’s from Indiana. I guess you can’t expect too much.
- After that comment, The GMs girlfriend (breaking sports blogging rule #1: no girlfriends) immediately chimed in with this:
10:52 [Comment From The GM's GF] you guys are gross talking about hot moms. ESPECIALLY YOU GM!!
Funny, I didn't know WiFi worked in the kitchen. Afterwards she immediately ironed all of our pants and made everyone a sandwich.
- After an endless discussion on how to spell Mareese Speights’ last name, I decided he should just go with SP8S on the back of his jersey. That would make him about 800x cooler than He Hate Me.
- Let’s talk about Portland for a sec: that team is freaking loaded. Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, Travis Outlaw, Martell Webster, LaMarcus Aldridge (boooooo), now Jerryd Bayless. Those guys are going to be scary. Since having Derrick Rose on your team automatically means you will eventually win a championship (duh), I can’t wait for the 92’ Finals rematch three years from now.
- MJ, I love you as much as anyone, but you are a gawd-awful GM. DJ Augustin got rick roll'd by Rose in the tourney, and The Big French Guy was the least productive player drafted maybe ever. I think he averaged three points, five rebounds, and two surrendered wars a game last season. Good luck with that guy, Larry Brown.
- This Minnesota-Memphis swap is retarded for the T-Wolves. McHale is like the Good Charlotte of NBA GMs (burn!). Slow, fat, white, and fat Kevin Love is a terrible compliment for anyone, specifically Al Jefferson. While your at it McHale, just get it over with now and trade Big Al back to the Celtics for Brian Scalabrine. Why accomplish in four years what you can do right now? More importantly: Mayo, Gay, Conley is a pretty awesome young nucleus there in Memphis. If they only had a low post scorer, like, say, Pau Gasol, maybe that team could compete.

The Will Leitch roast yesterday was amazing in every way. The two best tributes came from Bill Simmons (yowzers) and JE Skeets, who made quite possibly the funniest video I've ever seen in internet(s) history.

Oh yeah, screw the Cubs
I was super excited for round one, but I'm sort of indifferent now. That has less to do with last week's sweep and more to do with Derrick Rose. By the way, guess which Sox fan is throwing out the first pitch today? Yeah, it's him. Anyways, in case anyone missed it last week, here is the official doctrine on Cubs hate, from myself, Stompy, and everyone else.

Hey, hey now.
First, The GM's GF is allowed because she knows more about sports than most guys, which is scary.
Second, thanks for stopping by, it was good times.
"Funny, I didn't know WiFi worked in the kitchen".....hahaha I cried laughing
Out of all the amazing basketball talent that contributed to the dynastic Bulls teams from the 90s, you had to use "Bill Wennington" and "ruling the streets" in the same sentence, didn't you?
Pax makes the right choice and now he is going to fuck it up...Yes, throw him into the fucking mix and make him your god damn fucking starting PG, NOW!!! I hope this is him being coy and trying to add value to Hinrick, but I fucking doubt it...You suck, you balding fuck!
