This isn’t how I wanted to spend my Tuesday night. It’s enough that I was watching the Blackhawks only to see Patrick Kane get hurt. It looks like a shoulder injury for him. Then, about an hour or two later, I find out that Derrick Rose is out for the season. Great.
A reader who goes by “Nikola Drops” chimed in with a comment in the previous post on here. He already predicted that I was going to write about how this is on ThomASS. While this injury isn’t on him, directly. However, I will say that could have been caused from his previous injuries. It all started with the ACL tear three years ago, in my opinion.
I hate making comparisons or analogies, but I will here. With Rose, first, it was the ACL. Then, it’s a meniscus tear. Then another one. I compare this to an old car. In college, I drove an ’83 Cavalier. The first problem was a coolant fan relay and that lead to my car overheating. About three weeks later, the car began shaking. I needed to replace the alternator. Later, the serpentine belt. You get the point. At the end, the transmission fucked up. I ended up junking it for $50.
Derrick Rose is my 1983 Chevy Cavalier.

I hope to fucking hell the Bulls let this punk ass bitch go when his contract is up in a few years. They can’t cut him, and no team in their right mind will take this walking MASH unit.
On the bright side of this, there is talk that this could spell the end of ThomASS’s tenture here. So there IS some hope. Just wonder what your banner will say. I still want “Fire Tom Skilling”. If not, I may start a blog of my own.

You should replace “How many minutes did Jimmy play?’ with “How many surgeries will D. Rose have?’
I don’t know if the world is ready for Chuckys Blog lol

CBSS…..I know the world isn’t ready. That’s why I want to do it!

Patrick Kane is about six to ten weeks, according to sources. It all points to a broken collarbone. I will try to point out something good out of this shitty situation.
The playoffs should start around April 15th. That’s exactly, six weeks from today. He’s still young, so healing should be quick (if he doesn’t get surgery). If it’s the full ten weeks, the Blackhawks would need to reach the Western Conference Final for him to still play.
If he does heal quicker than the six weeks, they should just hold him off until the playoffs start.

One more thing, it’s time for us to be cheered up a bit. The Tournament of Chicago TV Babes is next week. And just to cheer Chucky up even more, Micah Materre will get the #1 seed and a first round bye!
February 25, 2015 at 10:47 am
I really hope Derrick will just retire now and go sell pizzas with his asshole brother. Anyone know what happens with his contract if he does?
February 25, 2015 at 11:21 am
Yeah. Rose’s contract runs through 2017. So, just over two years from now. He is owed $18 million this year, $20 million next and $21 million in the last year (that can buy a lot of hookers). Even if the Bulls use the amnesty clause, they eat that money. But, they aren’t going to admit failure with him while he’s under contract.
And that money is guaranteed, by the way.

Fro…..YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!
February 25, 2015 at 12:03 pm
One of these days, we need to go out to one of these trash bars and pick up some skanks. CS and I live in an area where there are plenty of them. You need it.
February 25, 2015 at 6:35 pm
This is my reaction when I heard D Rose tore his Meniscus.
And this is my reaction when I heard Kane is out 6-12 weeks cause of that POS.
February 25, 2015 at 6:48 pm
JESUS CHRIST ON A 4 MAN BOBSLED!!! 12 Weeks now for Kane!! John Lester Next?!
February 25, 2015 at 9:55 pm
What Florida said.
Fuck every square inch of this bullshit.
Kane’s out until May, Rose is done for the season.
GarPax may as well blow up the Bulls. Rose can’t stay healthy if his immortal soul depended on it, most of the core is too hurt and too tired for covering for him these last three years. If this team was in the West, they’d be barely above the T-Wolves. Thibs is going to burn out his starters through the rest of the regular season,and then they’re going to be worn out and too sore to last more than five games against whoever. Not only that, he won’t give his bench any meaningful minutes so he can develop some young talent.
Nobody sane is going to trade for Rose, so we’re stuck with him for the next two seasons. I’m with FroDog: fire Thibs and get someone else to try and put something else together with this roster.
I’m thinking Mark Jackson for the next Bulls head coach. Any other suggestions?
February 25, 2015 at 10:24 pm
Yeah. Jeff Van Gundy. I’d rather have him than Mark Jackson.
Oh, bravo for the Bulls and their valiant effort tonight. They miss eight free throws, go 3/17 from beyond the three-point line and only four players came off the bench.
(Throws hands up)
February 26, 2015 at 2:40 pm
I think Jim Boylen would be a good choice, He’s ready for a head coaching gig. If you can’t get Popovich, you go get his right hand man.
Maybe we can get Popovich. A couple of years we were talking how Joe Maddon would never come to Chicago and look what happened there. And who honestly thought John Fox would be coaching the Bears. So weirder things have happened.
What’s poor Carmelo gonna do next year when Thomass is making him play defense and running him in the ground. Count his money? hahahahaha
February 26, 2015 at 5:35 pm
I know this may not mean much, but Jim Boylan was an interim coach for the Bulls during the glorious 2007 season. I know, those group of players were asswipes (Noah and Hinrich are the only ones still here). He was originally under Scott Skiles, who was a nightmare also.
I don’t know who they are going to get. But I am praying they find someone who doesn’t have their head up their ass. If they can’t get Jeff Van Gundy, then Jackson could be a possible option. I just worry about Jackson because of the fiasco in Golden State. Steve Kerr seems to succeed even more with the same team.
Carmelo is already hurt. If ThomASS were to go to the Knickerbockers, Carmelo’s knees will be toast in a year or two.

Hey Yo!

Scott Hall is coming to Lasalle March 7. Last time I went to one of these events I got up to piss and ended up watching part of a NY Rangers game with Mean Gene Okerlund.
February 27, 2015 at 9:49 am
Holy shit. Are you going? That’s next Saturday and I am off that day. Haha. We should go if you really want to.
February 27, 2015 at 5:44 pm
Yeah I am going!
I usually get the tix at the door but if I know you are coming from out of town I can pick them up in advance. Let me know for sure and I’ll grab them Monday. It’s good to get there 30-45 minutes early to get a decent seat. Also going to be at least a 3 hour show.
They added Stevie Richards to the bill. Should be interesting meeting that crazy bastard lol
February 27, 2015 at 9:40 pm
WOW. CM Punk came out of LaSalle Pro Wrestling.
It IS a long way to the top…
February 27, 2015 at 9:46 pm
Hell yeah. I’ll go. For real. I’ll give you the cash when I meet up with you. It’s about time we do something. I should probably meet up with you an hour or so beforehand. Do they have food there?
February 27, 2015 at 10:15 pm
Yup CM Punk used to wrestle in Lasalle back in the early 2000’s. Now he joined the UFC. He is in the middleweight division which is stacked with certified badasses that will clean his fucking clock and send him crying back to Vince. He gets his first fight soon.
Yeah Fro they have food there, pizza, nachos, other snacks.
Sometime this week email me your number so we can meet up. I’m guessing you are taking 39? There is a Casey’s right off the Lasalle exit we can meet at.
March 1, 2015 at 1:40 pm
Indeed. I will email you right now so I don’t forget. WWE events are fun, but local shows in gyms and small buildings are fun in different ways.
