Vinny Del Fuego Returns To The NBA


We don't know about you, but man, are we ever giddy about the Bulls' hiring of Vinny Del Negro as their new head coach. Vinny Del Feugo! Heavens, how we've missed that guy; NBA Jam never would have survived without him. More »

The new Bulls coach is ... Doug Collins? Really? Welcome back, Dougie: We wish you still had the perm. Hey, does this mean Jordan's coming back? Heh. [Chicago Sun-Times]

Tiny Man Celebrates Bulls' Blind Luck


The tiny man you see here — and "tiny," of course, is relative to two men standing next to him; in reality, he's probably 6-foot-9 — is Steve Schanwald, executive VP of the Chicago Bulls. He was a very happy tiny man last night; it's a good thing Chicago isn't a huge city with a potentially rabid fanbase and a considerably vaunted history in the NBA, or someone might have said that thar thing was rigged.

Raging Bull: More Trouble For Chicago's NBA Mascot

As we learned with this whole ugly Isiah Thomas thing, every NBA owner has his tipping point. Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf just may have reached his. It's the story you've heard so many times before: Colorful Bulls mascot Benny the Bull is being sued by an oral surgeon for an aggressive high-five that may have seriously injured the man's shoulder at a Bulls' game.

Benny The Bull: Free At Last!

Displaying the kind of investigative moxie that could have kept us out of this whole Iraq mess, the Chicago Sun-Times dug into Thursday's Benny the Bull T-shirt assault story and discovered that Benny had been wrongly accused! On Thursday it was reported that Benny — the costumed mascot for the Bulls — shot the Celtics' Kevin Garnett and James Posey from behind with a T-shirt gun. And since Benny had a record, we all believed it. But it just wasn't so, said the Bulls. More »

Benny The Bull Will Put A Cap In Your Ass

When talking about illegal mascot shenanigans, no one, of course, beats the drunken exploits of the Stanford Tree. But running a close second is Benny the Bull, the only NBA mascot with a criminal record for battery on a police officer. On Tuesday he was at it again, shooting the Celtics' Kevin Garnett and James Posey from behind with a T-shirt gun. Seems a bit unwise to me. More »

Hasn't Benny The Bull Suffered Enough?


First of all, fighting a giant inflatable version of yourself is nothing unique; I have that dream about every other night. Secondly, you're the Chicago Bulls mascot ... the fact that your girlfriend is sleeping around is the least of your problems. More »

Isiah Passes Grueling Two-Week Evaluation Of Self

Isiah Thomas gave himself two weeks to get his act together, or he would fire himself as coach of the New York Knicks. The two weeks were up on Tuesday, so what's the verdict? Although the Knicks finished 1-4 during that span — including four straight losses — Isiah happily announced on Tuesday that he is staying on as coach. He passed! Whew! That was a close one. More »

Scott Skiles' Christmas Present To Bulls Fans

You know it's a bad sign when you're fired on Christmas Eve, and nobody even bothers to give you the obligatory, "aw, the guy got canned right before the holidays" comments. Yeah, it's safe to say Bulls fans aren't going to miss Scott Skiles all that much. More »

Bulls Distracted By Trade Rumors, Other Team's Basketball Ability

• YiHarmony — Well, it certainly doesn't look like Yi Jianlian figured out how not to foul people during games. The waist-high kick is frowned upon, I'd imagine, no matter how high the wall is around your country. But he was only whistled for three fouls in 33 minutes, which enabled him to score a respectable 16 points. Michael Redd added 27 in a 78-72 win over the 0-3 Chicago Bulls. At this juncture, the Bulls best figure out who else to send over to acquire Kobe Bryant. Perhaps they can send all 12 players to the Lakers for Kobe and his 11 teammates. Maybe then Bryant will be satisfied with who else he's playing with. More »

Joakim Noah Is Already Making Friends

Of all the funny love connections that came out of last night's NBA Draft, the one we were most tickled by was the match of Joakim Noah and the Chicago Bulls. Seriously. Look at that guy. He looks like that before comes into the sanitarium that is the NBA. In six years, he's going to have physically erased all his facial features, or maybe just have joined the Nation of Islam. What an odd duck. David Stern seemed too bewildered to even be angry.

He's already causing a stir on Bulls boards, and some Bulls fans seem resigned to figuring out how to root for him. We still prefer what Shoals said last night in the live blog: ""Noah... YOU LOOK LIKE EVERY SINGLE BATMAN VILLAIN ROLLED UP INTO ONE."

How Sad Is Ben Wallace Today, Really?

It was a nice little hope for a while, some sort of jolt of life into a lagging, pallid Eastern Conference playoffs, but now that the Pistons have advanced past the Bulls and set up a presumably smooth trip past whatever "team" collapses forward enough to win the Cavs-Nets series, we're back to our regularly scheduled boredom. And you have to wonder how Ben Wallace is feeling right now. More »

Can The Bulls Pull This Off?

It's really quite wild how much can change over two playoff games. After the Bulls' depressing, limp Game 3 loss at home, everyone was writing about how they should blow up the Bulls, how they should have traded for Pau Gasol, how they were too young, how Ben Wallace had no heart. And now, after two oddly convincing wins over the Pistons, the Bulls are spritely and spirited, and the Pistons are scared. And they're gonna be rather nuts at the United Center tonight too, or at least they better be. More »
