As soon as Chris Rongey's "Xfinity Feedback Postgame" wraps for White Sox/Indians in front of a lot of empty seats at (Not So) Progressive Field this afternoon in Cleveland along the Chicago White Sox Radio Network, it'll be a late start for Terry & Dan B. at the SCORE Studios downtown. Whether or not the guys talk about today's getaway game in Cleveland, let alone Brewers/Cubs at Wrigley remains to be heard. After all, it is radio, you know...

Anyway, the guys likely will discuss last night's big Bulls' win over the Knicks, minus Derrick Martell Rose, and whether or not he & his ankle play tomorrow on the Bulls' favorite national cable channel TNT vs. the Heat...AT REGULAR TIME! That would be 7p, not 8:30p...

The firing of Arkansas head football coach Bobby Petrino last night as a result of that scandal might also be part of the discussion. I think Bernsy had fun with that without Boers when he flew solo after White Sox/Rangers last Friday.

Matt Abbatacola is live at Brewers/Cubs over at Wrigley today, while Jason Goff guest hosts the nighttime SCORE come 6p. Might Jason be doing Laurence's "HATER WEDNESDAY"? We'll find out soon enough...

Back to Derrick Rose for a moment....Bernsy explains why Derrick should forget about London this summer and the U.S. National Team here:

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/04/11/ ... -olympics/

White Sox/Indians and Ranger's postgame are done..."B & B" are up & running right now.

Producers: Matt Abbatacola & Ethan Shaw
"Scoreboard Updates": Matt Rodewald

Jason Goff guest hosts the nighttime SCORE starting at 6p, possibly with "HATER WEDNESDAY" on loan from Laurence. Wayne Randazzo will "Randazzle" SCORE listeners starting at 10p leading into "SCORE Overnight" with Les Grobstein & Adam Harris at Midnight.

There is no way Rose should participate in the Olympic camp.

None.

I agree. I know Derrick just signed a new long term deal with adidas, but given the NBA schedule because of the lockout, he should pull out. Ditto for Luol Deng, I believe with Britain. I think it's asking a bit much.

Sorry.

I should've used quotes. That's what Dan was saying.

Given all the aches, pains, bumps & bruises Derrick Rose has endured this year, I agree with Bernstein on this. Even though he's now got a long term deal with adidas, Rose should tell Coach K "thanks, but no thanks" and pull out of the upcoming Summer Olympics in London. There's no point in participating, and it has nothing to do with the U.S. red, white & blue.

there are reasons why Rose maybe shouldn't play in the Olympics, but rest is not one of them. Getting Healthy probably won't be one either. He hasn't played that much this year. He will probably be pretty damned healthy before they actually have to play in the Olympics. If he is NOT playing in the Olympics, what the hell do you think he is going to do?...find himself in that gym in California trying to improve his game.

I really don't think this is an issue this year. If he doesn't get a serious injury through the playoffs this is a moot point.

Well said beni. Rose is well known as a guy who always wants to play. Bernstein has talked about how he has keys to the facility and him and his friends go and play there all the time. If he was sitting at home all summer then he could be protecting his body. He wouldn't though. Wouldn't it be helpful to improve yourself practicing against the best players in the game and then playing against quality teams?

If Rose is truly injured, then he can't play because he needs surgery, but just to skip the Olympics because you want to prolong your NBA career by a month or two is stupid and unrealistic.

That may have been the dumbest thing Dan has said.

"Those games in the Olympics are intense!"

Ninja please.

I hope Nas is not driving and listening to this. He already thinks Rose is the biggest pussy around. Now that he is almost over 30, all Nas needs to hear is more reasons to baby this guy and he is may blow a valve.

Get me the stats. Are you more or less likely to get hurt playing Olympic ball vs NBA ball?

Stoopid Bernstein. Olympics is no longer fuckin rec league games.

I am no proponent of the Olympics, but that is an asinine way of looking at the games.

The precious Rose petal playing a high risk game gonna get kilt by the 400 lb dufus Serb. Save him from himself.

As soon as the NBA season is over, I think Rose should be banned from any basketball game until next March.

Good idea. Playoffs only player. Sheeeeeiit, that's all Miami does. They don't care about no home court advantage. Means nothing. Wade could play if he cared...

OK, we don't have axes to grind with the beat guys, but they suck. Axe a damn question that will give me an answer. Not this stupid hockey speak. They should do there job like I did when I was a beat reporter. I was awesome. But we really don't have a problem with those guys. Why do they hate us again?

The reason the 20th Anniversary thing hasn't been promoted that well is because Matt and Mitch didn't want to tell the hosts what was gonna happen.

Good idea.

Friday afternoon call into the Score and tell us how the Score touched you.

That makes me uncomfortable. I would rather point to a doll and show you where the Score touched me.

No, but in all seriousness, yeah he was actually pretty aggressive.
