1. We’re No. 1! We’re No. 1!
After all we’ve been through with the Bulls, this is like God’s answer to a makeup call.
2. Decisions, decisions
Does GM John Paxson pick hometown favorite Derrick Rose, or does he get chased out of town with torches and pick Michael Beasley?
3. Just kidding
You can’t go wrong with Rose or Beasley. That’s why we’ll be taking Brook Lopez.
4. Ring ding
All comers can e-mail fight canseco@aol.com for a chance to face Jose Canseco in the boxing ring and be paid $5,000. Hey, save your money, I’d take a swing at him for free.
5. Sausage fest
Wisla Krakow of Poland comes to Chicago to play the Fire on Wednesday. Why they’d come to a place where we devour polishes is beyond me.
6. Quit it!
Will the NFL go on a work stoppage? I can see a will-they-or-won’t-they right up to 2011. It’s like the NFL is pulling its own Brett Favre.
7. Look at him go
Bad news: Now Devin Hester won’t be able to test free agency until after 2011. Make that good news: Like he would have stuck around this stinkin’ franchise otherwise.
8. Shocking
Hester is scheduled to make only $445,000 this season. Lance Briggs pays more than that in yearly towing services.
9. Whatev
Disgraced NBA ref Tim Donaghy claims another official passed “confidential” information to a coach, but commish David Stern dismissed that. In other news, Stern appointed Rick Fox to guard the henhouse.
FIVE CHOICES …
… the Bulls shouldn’t make with the No. 1 pick
– Kevin Love
– Cristian De La Fuente and Cheryl Burke
– Random Foreign Guy
– Jay-Z rival Nas
– Any contestant on “Flavor of Love”
