Derrick Rose is not to blame for the Bulls losing in the playoffs.

Derrick Rose is not to blame for the Bulls losing in the playoffs.
  If you may recall, I said in my previous article that the Bulls were fully capable of succeeding without Derrick Rose: http://www.chicagonow.com/locker-room/2012/04/the-bulls-will-move-on-without-derrick-rose-and-so-should-bulls-fans/ I stand by that claim and I’ll tell you why.

I admit, Mayweather was the better fighter.

I admit, Mayweather was the better fighter.
As much as I hate to say it, and as much as I despise Floyd Mayweather Jr., I gotta give him credit. For the last 4 years, I dreamed of the day that Miguel Cotto and “Pretty Boy” Floyd would go one on one. I was hoping it would happen a lot sooner, but it... Read more »

The Bulls will move on without Derrick Rose and so should Bulls fans.

The Bulls will move on without Derrick Rose and so should Bulls fans.
I must admit, it was a heart breaking injury, and even more heart breaking to watch. And yes we can question Tom Thibideau all we want about why D-Rose was still in the game with a minute left while having a big lead. Injuries can happen at anytime, it’s a part of the game. We’d... Read more »

My take on Ozzie Guillen's "Castro" comment.

My take on Ozzie Guillen's "Castro" comment.
Disclaimer: I hate when I have to mix sports with politics. I hate it with a passion! But unfortunately it is unavoidable on this subject. I know that pretty much every sports writer/blogger in the country has already touched on this issue. But as a Latino I feel I should give my thoughts on this... Read more »

I don't think Sean Payton understands his punishment.

I don't think Sean Payton understands his punishment.
