I would gladly exchange a little more hockey talk now for a little less later.

i would gladly exchange a blowjob for a butchers ass, but you gotta take the head off it.

You know, every time the McDonough announces some big ratings night for the Hawks and CSN/channel 9, Dan goes to the mattresses and starts countering with bigger Bulls ratings, positively giddy that the Bulls could get a big number for a game with the Bobcats/T'Wolves/Jazz/whogivesafuck on a Wednesday night because the Bulls are just so popular and so great. (But remember, the NBA team isn't in a competition with the NHL team.)

So my question, then, is that if Rose is indeed cooked here with the second blown ACL, and so the Bulls drop from gamely scrapping for 4th place in case Rose makes the playoffs (haha whoopsie) to just trying to figure out where they're even going to go as an organization from here, are the Bulls still going to have such amazing ratings that we need to get all mother-hen about these silly-ass John McDonough press releases?

I dunno, but this means we sure as hell are going to have a lot more hockey talk for the next 6 months.

Where's the Blackhawks preview thread, Curious? I really am looking forward to this one cuz its Vancouver.

I don't write 'em on Saturdays! You do one! Read some recaps, crunch some numbers, pick a song. I recommend Steve Winwood's "Arc of a Diver."

That's funny, I once went with "My Rival" for a Canucks thread. Same Steely Dan album!
