Does Anyone Actually Care if Larry Hughes Leaves the Bulls?

Friday, January 9th, 2009

This is a serious question that needs a serious answer because, apparently, both Larry Hughes and the Bulls want to see his ass shipped out of town very soon. You might recall the Bulls acquired Hughes in a deal that basically sent Ben Wallace to the Cavs. Thus adding another guard ...

The Chicago Bulls are Once Again an Awful Basketball Team

Monday, January 5th, 2009

It doesn't seem like all that long ago that the Bulls were one of those "teams on the rise." You know, the kind of team with a young, talented nucleus that was seen as taking the necessary steps toward building a serious contender. That was, in fact, just two short years ...

Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Monday, December 8th, 2008

In this day and age, we don't bat an eye when an athlete gets knifed. Unless that athlete knifes himself. In bed. After carving an apple. Bulls rookie star Derrick Rose was the victim of this peculiar attack, rolling onto a knife that he left in his bed after carving an apple. ...

Lou Holtz and his Lispy Speeches are Just What the Chicago Bulls Need

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

It's early in the season and all, so we're not going to trash our beloved (or at least my beloved) Chicago Bulls just yet, even after their pretty awful season last year. We're admittedly pretty excited about Derrick Rose and think eventually he and Tyrus Thomas can be a lot like ...

Joakim Noah is Good at Basketball…On Wii

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

When we sit around and think of the things Joakim Noah is good at, let's be honest, Wii isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But if he's not working on his awesome dance moves or picking out a new bow tie, what would he be doing other than ...

MLB, NBA Rumor Time

Since we here at Rumors and Rants took the red pill, so to speak, we have yet to add anything to our nifty new "Rumors" tab. We decided it was time to change that, and give you the latest chatter going on in baseball and NBA as one season winds ...

This is Rich: Bulls to Open Against Skiles

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Those masters of marketing over at the NBA Scheduling Department have come up with a doozy for us here in Middle America, especially for those of us with ties to both Indiana and the Chicago Bulls. The NBA released its schedules for next season, and the Bulls will open with ...

Derrick Rose: Already On His Way to Bust City

Friday, July 11th, 2008

For the record, I put exactly zero stock in what happens during summer league basketball. Totally meaningless stuff. But when the No. 1 overall pick has to sit out with tendinitis or something and Michael Beasley is dominating people, I get a little worried.I mean, please let this kid not ...

I Love the ’80s Strikes Back

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Doug Collins is coming back to coach the Bulls, and I couldn't be more excited! Combined with the pending Celtics-Lakers matchup in the NBA Finals and baseball teams slowly returning to powder blue uniforms, one thing has become clear: the '80s are back, baby! And it couldn't happen soon enough.Here ...

You Must Choose Wisely

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Every time I try to get away from the Chicago Bulls, they find a way to bring me back. I just can't quit them. But never in a million years did I expect today to be the day that would revitalize my excitement for the Red Oxen.Against all odds -- ...
