So, a couple months ago, Dan was saying Rose was wrong not not taking the doctors orders, the next step in rehab as in game minutes.

Now he seems to be saying this is fine, and even jumping of antirose callers.

So is this a flipflop or what the hell happened?

I'm assuming I missed something and this is my fault as a rube.

Did Bernsie really say that it's fine that Rose is sitting out?

Hell, that was quicker than his Trestman/Emery flip/flop.

Kind of.
I only listen to 10 minutes ever couple hours but he seems to be a cock to callers who suggest things he seemed to have proclaimed a few short weeks ago.
I fear I may have taken this out of context?
That's why I'm wondering if I'm misreading this or is berns a putz?

2 seperate discussions.

maybe it was kind of Jewish mother guilt trip sort of thing..."oh, it's fine, do whatever you want..."

Pretty sure it is the other way around: Dan first saying he was cool with Rose sitting, then getting pissy when he learned that the Dr. Brian Cole had cleared Rose to play. In fact he was going hard at callers today who suggested that maybe Rose just isn't mentally ready to come back.

It was weird because he kept saying (or has said) that you can't compare Adrian Peterson to Rose because everyone's knees are different and everyone's recoveries are different. Yet he was more than willing to get all condescending on anyone who suggested that maybe Rose knows what feels right for his knee better than a doctor who doesn't have millions of dollars riding on said surgically repaired knee.

Does it matter? He went from blogging that Rose shouldn't have to come back until he's ready, to being first to say that Rose has to start playing. Along the way he's claimed to have not have only a super secret infallible source for his information. But that from every level of the organization the sentiment is that Rose should be playing. However, the fact that nobody in the organization will go on record, the lack of a corroborating source or media person, or the emphatic denials of players as to such a sentiment is all part of a masterfully orchestrated ploy by the organization to save face for Derrick.

Meanwhile, Terry the Parrot's vocabulary has grown but he is afraid to talk to anybody within the organization and his "people" now walk around as if they have a cover over their heads, are asleep, or both.

Here's Dan's column prior to finding out Rose was cleared to play by Dr. Brian Cole:

And here's Dan's column after finding out Rose was cleared to play by Dr. Brian Cole:

And here's an article not from Dan, highlighting past conflicts between Bulls players and team doctors:

For as much as Dan likes to pretend he's a sports fan that can think critically he's really burying his head in the sand on this. And can someone please point me to the quote where Dr. Brian Cole says that playing in NBA playoff games is part of the rehab process? I'm having no luck finding it myself.

This is why I always go to the audio when something like this comes up. So many people here immediately jump to conclusions and then you listen to the podcast and it's like, "Oh, that's all he said? WTF?"
