... "for many reasons!" --- so since it's Goff can we guess what one of those reasons is? #SWAG (look up the acronym starting off with "secretly" and remember that "swaggy hair" =)

All jokes/levity aside, do any score historians / GOFF-MASSIVE know what his reasons for "biting his thumb" @ Jimmy Butler are? Or is this just some contrarian-for-the-cred basketball-expert [read: hipster] shit?

Also, the most NBAiest show on the score consumes, digests, and regurgitates the NBA trade deadline deals for all the [countless] chicks in the audience! Tune in, but don't TuneIn cuz they stopped sponsoring the station! #Synergy

Uh oh, Executive Update Guy™®© Amattacola "stumbled over" Gar's name in the 2pm update and fused "Gar Forman and John Paxson" into #GarPax! You know somebody high/er-up is getting an angry call from Reinsdorf, Inc! #ThisIsAGarFormanJoint

Edit: even my phone refuses to accept "Gar Forman" as a real name. It gave me "Gary Gorman" on the first try! Maybe he'd be a better "GM" than "Gar Forman" =]

HEY LOOK AN E-MAIL TOTALLY NAILING GAR AS THE GUY IN CHARGE!!!! #StayOnMessage #PaxDidNothingWrong #Synergy!

_________________

I'm with you that Pax deserves as much blame as anyone, but as vegan pointed out elsewhere, Gar's fingerprints are all over the McDermott and Hoiberg debacles. That Pax either co-signed these moves or couldn't be arsed to stop them means he's gotta get called out too though.

Have we gotten a "Guys Goff Knows Are Gay" update this week?

You know me like that.

Is that dumb segment, "It's on...", a daily segment or still only on Thursday?

You didn't hear? In transition he said that you were gay.

Dr Ken:

like i said earlier, when goff said that he was "never into the whole jimmy butler thing for many reasons" i couldn't help but wonder if one of those reasons was his "bread-n-butter" or, perhaps, even his raison d'etre (if you will)

_________________

also two other observations:

1) yeah i know he can be a super-biased pudwhack sometimes, but i generally find joe cowley to be an entertaining dude. i couldn't help but crack up when he talked about the bulls calling nikola mirotic back into their offices after practice and suggested "maybe they're going to kill him?" as a possible reason why!

2) going into the last break b4 the top of the hour dan promised to "tell us what any reasonable bulls fan should expect from [whatever]" --- man, i just FUCKING LOVE IT when dan ascends atop the soap box / bully pulpit to tell us all what we gotta do to be a real/reasonable/"one-of-the-good-ones" fan of [anything other than weird muttish mixtures of discount wine, you know, the gilded version of "two buck chuck" =]

The dunk on Wade in ECF Game 1 got me to start using Twitter

#DamnDWade was trending

also, i'm getting a vibe of "the bulls wanna keep jimmy around to 'rebulid on the fly' [read: reload > rebuild]" so they can keep asses in seats and still be decent enough to MAXIMIZE. THEIR. REVENUE. STREAMS. over the next few years, as opposed to going for a couple'a potential-lottery picks and not knowing if you end up with karl-anthony towns or you end up with some kind of "your 2014-15 philadelphia 76ers" type picks. that's understandable, but if the jimmy hate is that "he fancies himself batman when he's really robin" [you know, what i thought about derrick rose back when he had multiple knees] then it's like... what's he supposed to do?

yeah, i doubt jimmy will ever be THE guy on a championship/contender team, but still, if there's a slight (implied or otherwise) that he's perhaps "getting to be too big for his britches" and fancies himself a #1 guy / NBA-superduperstar (aka top 5-10 player) when he's clearly not.... well it's like martellus bennett wanting more-than-gronk money: what's the guy supposed to do/say? go out there and be like "yeah hey you know i'm pretty damn good on my day, but i'm never gonna be what dwyane was 5-10 years ago so PLZ HALP GARPAX!!!" ??? i mean, is he supposed to act like the #1 sidekick in the league or something? i can't fault a guy [especially a guy creeping on the come up the way he did in the early-10s] for "feeling himself like he's masturbating" in terms of aspiring to be something great[er than he realistically will be]-- you just gotta reserve the umbrage for the org, because if it has been said that "organizations win championships" then they can sure as hell not-win championships too, right?

Dan just said of Forman and Paxson "I don't view them as an entity". Wasn't HE the one who coined "GarPax"?

Yeah I simply do not get the point of having any faith in Paxson or extending any benefit of the doubt to him. If he co-signs Gar he's just as bad, if he doesn't care he's just as bad, and if he disagrees but is powerless, he's useless. Let's not forget during the one era we know for a fact that he was the chief decisionmaker, the wheels had fallen off entirely until they binked the Rose pick.

yes sir! but as i've been saying lately, someone clearly got to dan and told him to "knock that #GarPax shit off" so he's gone out of his way to point out "warring factions" in the bulls front office, "#ThisIsAGarFormanJoint" (maybe on the mcbuckets trade?), and now even "e-mailers" are talking like it's obvious that Gar is throwing thunderbolts around the berto center like he's zeus or something...

...my bet is that paxson still has his [underwhelming] fingerprints/DNA all over this mess and that Gar is just his fall-guy / sacrificial-lamb [he likely got a nice bump up in salary when he formally "ascended" to GM because he was told something like this ("dammit this whole mess is what happened when Gar went against the rest of the bulls' brass!")

lol bernstein is now saying "REMEMBER THIS ISN'T EVEN REALLY JERRY REINSDORF ANYMORE!!! [JERRY DOES THE WHITE SOX] THIS IS A MICHAEL REINSDORF JOINT, AND MIKEY IS MORE OF A BUSINESS GUY THAN A BASKETBALL GUY!!!" --- GEE I WONDER WHO'S TELLING BERNSTEIN STUFF?! =P #Synergy

holy shit when did "bitch" become "the b-word" ??? dan himself just waffled on "the b-word" and "bitch" and just did it again.... WHAT DO YOU THINK "THE B-WORD" MEANS? WHAT DO YOU THINK BITCH MEANS?" -- GOFF [muttering]: "he's trying to call a guy a woman..."

hey jason, thursdays at 5 mon frere! (see: Curious Hair's last post)

_________________

Oh God. A caller is calling GarPax a "man bitch", and Dan is doing the "oh, so it's bad to be a woman?" routine. I hate what this radio station has become.

Dear lord, Dan yelling at caller for calling someone a bitch. Jesus, what a PC ass! This guy honestly believes he's God's gift to the world.

He's a MITCH! Thats what it means!

I thought the guy was making fun of Mitch Rosen and calling the Bulls cheap

Dan just used the JORR argument that real fans go to games.

This is the difference between 90's score vs current score. Calling someone a bitch or mitch LOL is against the rules and calls for a lecture Jesus!@

Yeah, I thought he was bashing Mitch Rosen too at first

also, am i having some kind of an acid trip flashback, or are dan and jason carrying on like the bulls MONETIZING. EVERYTHING. is suddenly a bad thing? you know, like desiring to make the most money possible over the next few years is somehow a bad thing?

i used to call jay mariotti "the wind sock" cuz he'd always go [HAM] in whayever direction the wind was blowing..... well you know, i'm definitely having flashbacks right now.... only that jay mariotti is kind of worse than most of my acid trips =/

I think Dan is playing up the women card because he knows Julie DiCaro is lurking by the radio. He has to prove that he is a SJW and hasn't been corrupted by manly beast instincts

That was a trap if the guy said he didn't go to games dan would have said that the team doesn't care what he thinks

Bernstein used to call callers "Bitch". Not anymore. Not since "boobs". What a bitch.
