The "Bud Light 'Who Needs Two?' Tavern Tour" takes Terry & Dan B. to NIU terrority this afternoon starting @ 1P. The guys are live from Fatty's Pub & Grille, 1312 Lincoln Highway in DeKalb this afternoon. They'll have Bulls' tickets to give away for a "future game" at United Center during this afternoon's 2nd stop of the Tavern Tour season.

Speaking of the Bulls, after 3 bizarre, vague Tweets from the franchise, an ESPNChicago.com report today revealed that Derrick Martell Rose has been medically cleared to return, but there appears to be one more holdup before #1 would suit up regarding his left knee. If Rose returns, it won't be tonight as the Bulls return home for a game with former DePaul star turned Jazz HC Tyrone Corbin brings his Utah team into United Center for their only visit of the season. Might it come Sunday in a rare ABC game vs. Kobe Bryant & the Lakers in Los Angeles? Might it be possibly Wednesday in what could be the Bulls' last visit to Sacramento? Might it be one week from tonight vs. the Warriors in Oakland? Nobody seems to know, but this latest Rose story will be front & center, as well as...

*Brian Urlacher Staying w/the Bears?
*Blackhawks (Minus Sharp) Rematch the Avalanche in Denver
*The Latest From Spring Training
*Northwestern Basketball HC Bill Carmody: On the Way Out?
*"Friday Fung: Daredevil or Dumbass?" @ 4P

I'll be there.

Damn, I love Fatty's in Dekalb.

I used to live right across the street from there with the biggest Caller Bob of a landlord you could ever meet.

Might they get a visit from new NIU Football HC Rod Carey during their visit to Fatty's? During football season in recent years, now former NIU HC Dave Doeren pulled up a chair and joined the guys live on site.

So you worked for your rent then ....

Must drive those 2 dickheads crazy that LeBron thinks the Blackhawks streak is more impressive than what the Heat is doing.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

The Heat are already NBA Champions. I think their streak continues vs. the aging Doug Collins and the Sixers this eve in Miami. Do I hear 17?

Hell no.

Thanks for the kind words.

no thanks necessary, SHARKapalooza: i'm much like david kaplan (and this is the ONLY way i'm like david kaplan) insomuchas i'm just here to "tell it like it is" and well, you making the daily b&b threads has the same kind of heartwarming feeling that one had back in the day when hulk hogan was the WWF champion (you know, the kind of effect that WWE wants cena to have) --- it's like all was right in the world when Hogan was holding the strap, you know?

all is right in the world when SHARK is out in front of the pack making the daily b&b threads. no references to one-off WWF PPVs, no arbitrary mugcunting "FUN" agendas.... just str8up meat and potatoes; you know, it's that steak proudly rising up above the sizzle that one can hear if they listen quietly when one of the InVading forces of FUNland stops to take a piss.

SHOMER SHABBOS, SHARK, SHOMER SHABBOS! ROLL ON SATURDAYS!

SHARK is less Hulk Hogan and more Bob Backlund. But I love him just the same.

I would probably think Chas is more Bob Backlund than anyone here.

Bob Backlund...WOW!

How was your week, SHARK?

Pretty good.

No transition today for obvious reasons.

Might possibly be a ghost town over there as NIU's spring break starts today.

I never understood why college's have spring break in the winter.

I figure it's because they are out of school at the beginning of May. So Spring Term Break might be a more accurate title.

Zach Zaidman has the "Scoreboards" this afternoon.

As for the Friday Game Plan from Fatty's:

*3:30P: "The Second Half"

*4P: "Friday Fung: Daredevil or Dumbass?"
A Boers' Personal Favorite

That's all they have planned...for now.

Terry's "two favorite words", Laurence Holmes follows @ 6P with another "full boat show". Holmes' EP Joe Ostrowski has the latenight SCORE starting @ 10P. Ostrowski will be on until Amy Lawrence signs on from New York with CBS Sports Radio's "After Hours" starting @ 1A Saturday morning.

Why not just call it winter break part deux?

I agree with Bernsie that this "Derrick is cleared to play" thing is a plant by the Bulls, but I also think its a dick move on their part.

If you read the article it's clear it's a plant from the Bulls. Mellisa Issacson said she got it from a "team source". So it's not like Bernstein has uncovered something. It's in the first paragraph.

http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story/_/id/9031045/derrick-rose-chicago-bulls-cleared-play-waiting-dunk-confidently-left-foot-source-saysbefore

When I first read it I thought the "team source" was Paxon. In fact, I'm certain it was him. He wants him out there.

I never claimed that he uncovered anything fucktard. Anyone with two brain cells rubbing together knows the Bulls put this out there. Get back to race baiting.

Let's do it for Johnny!

a) Nice apostrophe (the college's what?)

b) March 1st is meteorological Spring (Tom Skilling taught me that), so Spring Break is an apt term.

c) I see you silly reponse and shit on it all the same!
