At this point in his rehab Adrian Peterson had already rushed for a thousand yards. The only possible answer is that Rose is not tough enough to play. No wonder that no free agents want to sign with the Bulls they can see how tough their supposed "leader" is.

Isn't he supposed to me a man stud that opens his mail and drinks coffee?

Yet still not on the court. What a pussy. Dick Butkus. Dan Hampton. Knees. Chicago Tough.

And yet walking has been problematic for both of those Chicago tough-guys for decades now.

"Chicago-tough", what a joke. Almost as (generally) ridiculous as "knowledgeable Chicago sports fans".

I tell ya Norm Van Lier would have been back on the court in 2 weeks tops. This Derrick Rose kid is just milking the injury for attention and Addidas commercials.

Well, Elmhurst Steve was just on Carmen & Jurko saying that Rose should either play or stop collecting checks. Reason being that when you are off work getting disability, once you are medically cleared you either go back to work or stop getting checks.

El, Oh, El.

Bulls management should feel damn lucky and awfully special that Derrick Rose is on the team. They best keep it that way.

Again, what the hell does that mean?

I did. I'm up to date. Send me something.

Really?

Everyone needs to kill the Adrian Peterson comparison already. He is an extreme exception to the rule when it comes to acl recovery. I dont think any athlete has ever come back as fast or as strong from sn acl tear.

Rubio and Shumpert are back but both are below the rim players who combined still arent on the athletic level Rose is at. He is one of the fastest and most explosive players in the league. He wants to wait till he feels hes back at that level. Physically he's probably there but it does take a lot of mental toughness to fully trust and have confidence that the knee is fine.

I tore my knee some years ago and when i was finally able to play again i had absolutely no confidence and to the point that i started jumping with the opposite leg. Now im nowhere near an elite athlete but i can imagine what a player at Rose's level could be thinking

I always find the best way to get someone to do what I want is to publicly embarrass them.

Oh, okay. Yeah, your reference doesn't really apply here. That's why I was confused.

The, "big black studs" thing never had anything to do with guys supposedly being "real men." It's the notion that according to Bernstein, black basketball players are physically superior on the court to white ones.

He also talked about how NBA players act like adults in the locker room. It led to the coffee and mail thing.
