Yes, I'm not an idiot, and you are not nearly as clever or coy as you think you are. Those are both true statements. As was CH's expressed sentiment that you began this thread with the ultimate goal being to implicitly label people who dislike OOT NBA Talk as racist. He saw it, I saw it (but didn't want to tussle with you over it until you revealed yourself) Nas saw it (and tried to give you an out), and MANY other board members assuredly saw it.



I also see that there are racists other than Elmhurst Steve that post on this board.

In your opinion no one is racist and it is perfectly fine to infer about race as long as it isn't black people that are the ones providing the inference.

I see through your bullshit just like you claim to see through mine.

You aren't fooling anyone with your bullshit. Your racial antennae is always spiked until it comes time to address racism then you either start denying parsing or ignoring. I have multiple instances in the Beardown thread of you ignoring the racist shit that he spewed even as you chose to comment in the thread.

You are phony as hell.


I have literally provided multiple links to show you this is not the case.

The message board purists may not think so but I am not having it.

It may not be the popular opinion but to have but someone here has to speak truth in regards to race around here.

It will never be mentioned but we know what they fear. Men like me do not fare well with the white insecure marriage crowd. They know what I would do to their women and what their women would do to me.

Interwebs tough guy.

So if you're into national NBA talk, there are countless other podcasts to listen to. And if you're into local Bulls talk, B&G aren't good at that either as Reinsdorf kiss-asses.

You comveniently omitted Beardown's post and yours. Rogue took a customary racist shot also. There were at least 5 references which made reference to race. You even mentioned black milionaires. Lebron's cock was also mentioned but somehow i'm out of line for thinking that race plays a role in some of this.

I have you repeatedly posting in Racist Beardown threads and not once did you question him about his racism.

You only reserve your ire for blacks that allude to racism and you ignore acts of blatant racism. As i stated you are phony as hell.

I see through your bullshit.

But they are quite comfortable discussing race as long as it doesn't involve the dreaded "racism" word apparently.

I have evidence that you ignore Beardown racism. I also have evidence of you either denying or ignoring other instances of racism.

I also have evidence of you interjecting and refuting the claims of numerous black people on this site. It is the only time that you ever address the issue of racism. Do you think that i and others on here (don't you just love to use message board consensus as a talking point?) Haven't noticed?

The Bulls are irrelevant and that hurts interest. Until this year the Hawks were yearly contenders so that became the team people wanted coverage of.

Bernstein has tried to do national NBA talk with 2 different partners.


I disagree. When the Bulls were great guys still didn't talk a lot of hoops besides Mully and Hanley and B&B.



Were Mully & Hanley even on then?


Derrick Rose Bulls? I'm pretty sure they were. They have the highest rated show and still manage to talk ALL sports. Imagine that.



You're stretching in calling the Derrick Rose Bulls "great", aren't you?

No. They were easily one of the three best teams in the league over a two year stretch and had the best record in the league over that stretch. The 2011-2012 Bulls were a great team.



They played in one conference finals and lost 1-4. I guess we have different definitions of "great".

They were injured the next year, losing their two best players for the playoffs before game 1 of the first series even finished.

If your definition of great includes non-championship teams then there's no argument to make against them being great. I understand if you restrict the term to only include title teams though.

Ooh you called an admitted racist a word that didn't relate to him being racist.

You asked a question about whether something might be racist.

Again ooh way to go out on a limb champ.

:lol: So now not only do I have to specifically identify AND condemn the racism of a very specific poster, but my condemnation must take a very specific form.

Do you just want my login information so you can do all this yourself? Otherwise let's stick to the arrangement we forged.

There have been great teams that haven't won titles. I just don't consider those Bulls one. They were ridden by Crazy Thidodeau to their absolute max and the most it got them was 1-4 in the conference finals.

And injuries are not an excuse. Injuries have derailed many potentially great teams. You either do it and achieve greatness or you get hurt and we talk about what might have been.

They were injured the next year, losing their two best players for the playoffs before game 1 of the first series even finished.

If your definition of great includes non-championship teams then there's no argument to make against them being great. I understand if you restrict the term to only include title teams though.


There have been great teams that haven't won titles. I just don't consider those Bulls one. They were ridden by Crazy Thidodeau to their absolute max and the most it got them was 1-4 in the conference finals.

And injuries are not an excuse. Injuries have derailed many potentially great teams. You either do it and achieve greatness or you get hurt and we talk about what might have been.

How do you achieve greatness without winning a title?
