Derrick Rose Dunks, Reminds Us That NBA Does Not Suspend Play For March Madness
Derrick Rose is so very fun to watch. Here's a give-and-go from Chicago's 84-73 win over New Jersey last night in Newark. It's a great play to watch because it's perfectly fundamental — he plants right, cuts left, and lets out a playground "woop!" for the pass from Kurt Thomas. Rose had 21 points ...

The Bulls blew a 19-point lead and committed 17 turnovers in an 83-80 loss in Atlanta last night. Derrick Rose didn't shoot particularly well — he was 5-for-21 from the field and had 12 points and 12 assists — but he did make up for it when he missed....
It Must Be March If The Cubs Are Fighting Each Other In The Dugout
After giving up a six-run inning courtesy of a handful of errors, Carlos Silva returned to the dugout and got into a fight.

Child Blackhawk Reporter Has The World By Its Balls
Hiring cute children as on-air talent is no longer a meme. It's an affliction. The innocently invasive questions. The gnat-like attention spans. We should be sick of it.
