Not sure if this belongs in Other Media section but Chicago has to have the whiniest soft collection of beats writers for a major market.

CTL, M&H and M&S all said local beat guys are upset Rose gave an exlcusive to USA today. Well, boo hoo, connect with new sources or agents instead of touting the Bulls company line.

Cubs guys constantly getting scooped by national media

Hawks media is pretty much an extension of Hawks PR department.

I don't follow Sox too hard but I imagine they're equally as bad as the Cubs.

Bears coverage is probably the only team the media legimately scrutinizes.

You know who didn't complain about it?

The CJH ReVolution. Carmen does think it'a a conspiracy between Adidas and Rose's ajent.

Not really an issue of connections, it was Adidas and Roses agent wanting a National and International exposure which KC Johnson cant deliver...or won't...

touching on the broader subject, I don't blame Rose for not wanting to go onto the court until he is "110%." I don't blame him. He's got a big ego and he should. He doesn't want to go out there and hobble around and get his ass beat. What's the point of that? At least that's how it appears on the surface. Maybe he's just following orders from Adidas or whoever.

Compared to Cubs, Sox, Bulls and Hawks the Bears are subject to a ton more scrutiny. Press conferences for Cubs/Sox/Bull/Hawks coaches & GM are total slobberfests. At least Emery and Lovie/Trestaman faced a couple of tough questions.

You're telling me Bulls beat writers couldn't have dug up any type of scoop on Rose's progress over the past year? They're being lazy fucks.

Welcome to the ReVolution boss.


I have tried. I ventured into the forbidden zone way before you dared. I like Carm...and Jurko is one of the very best guys to hang out with...on paper I dont even think Harry can derail this thing...but it just makes me sleepy. Just like Jurko!

I can't agree completely with that. I'm not saying he should play hurt, but when he gets to the point that he can help the Bulls ("only" 100% instead of 110%?) -- even if he is not at his perceived peak -- they should expect Rose to make himself available.

Did anyone have a Bulls beat writer on the air to ask them about this....or are they all scared to talk about it, for the fear that GarPax bans them from the Berto Center.

I think this is a huge reason football reporting is so much better. No beat writers flying on planes with guys every week for 5 months, like NBA, MLB, NHL...

To be fair, as a beat writer, your life would suck if you defied the requests of a team and you need to see these guys everyday. Thus you need a Joe Cowley. You need a bad cop!

CJH just had Friedell on as far as local guys. They had Jeff Ziglett, the USA Today guy who had the interview with Derrick, on yesterday.

You don't think the bulls can beat a 7 seed minus rose? Assuming everyone. Else is healthy?

They couldn't beat an 8 seed last year, and were given a 1 game lead before the Rose injury. So no, I don't think they can. I was on your side of your argument last year, and was proved horribly wrong. The bench is even worse this year. They would lose to anyone in probably 5 games.

The Bulls aren't going to finish in second place, so why does it matter if they could beat a 7?

Post subject:  Re: Chicago Sports Newspaper Media

Probably true...I think the bulls play better down the stretch than most teams,

Knicks=decent
BK = not good
Indiana= decent

Think the bulls finish ahead of Indiana,Brooklyn ...not sure they catch Knicks.
