I Promise Not To Get To Excited About The Bulls Finally Beating LeBron

I don't want to get too excited about the Bulls big win against the Cavs last night. Thanks to StevieY, a noted Bulls hater, for keeping my excitement in check with his annoying sarcasm. Here is our conversation from last night towards the end of overtime when the Bulls had a 10 point lead (Edited a bit, I took out a lengthy conversation about the Nazi Shark's love for Duke basketball):

Stormin Norman: Do you see this game?

StevieY19: What game?

SN: The Bulls are up 11 in overtime against the Cavs. It's on national TV.

SY19: The Bulls?

SN: I know I'm shocked too.

SY19: I'm not shocked, I just couldn't care less. Are the Cavs even good?

SN: Lebron hasn't made a fg since the first minute of the 2nd half. Its like the opposite of what he did to Detroit that one time. Quick question: Guess who got DNP-CDed?

SY19: Who? Larry? Maybe they'll bring him in for a late collapse.

SN: I love that this game is nationally televised.

SY19: Why? So everyone knows the Bulls are back? Deng just got hurt from that back bump, I bet he'll be out 3-4, or probably 6-8 weeks.

SN: You're a dick.

SY19: Before you write 4 posts tomorrow about this meaningless January game, I have a post going up at 9 AM, so you'll have to post them at a different time.

SN: The Bulls look impressive, admit it.

SY19: I didn't watch the game but having Hinrich and Deng back obviously makes them better.

SN: And Gooden back too.

SY19: I already said one nice thing about the Bulls, I'm not going to start praising players I hate.

The conversation goes on and on, but you get my point. I know I said I would temper my excitement, but after reading this conversation again it just makes me think about how StevieY is sour grapes. This is a huge win for the Bulls. Does it mean they are "back"? No. But its one of the flashes this season that show they can be great with just a little tweaking here and there (most notably at the coaching position). Back-to-back wins against playoff teams is nothing to laugh at, especially after the rough stretch the Bulls just came out of. Go Bulls!

StevieY19--College Football Expert or Married,Tigers Hat Wearing Fraud?

StevieY19 went an unprecedented 0-5 in his Big Ten football predictions this week. Wow. I don't think he could have done that throwing darts at a random board to make his picks. He hasn't been this bad in the past, but he hasn't exactly been "accurate" this year. What are this self-anointed expert's qualifications? Let's go over them:

• He was born in Michigan. He didn't attend University of Michigan. However, he was somehow able to identify the people that go to that institution as complete douchebags. How? I have no idea, they all seem like such nice humble people when you first meet them.
• Yet...yet...yet, he is a Wolverines fan.
• I think that he--now don't quote me on this, but--I think that he consults espn and deadspin. How he obtained access to these sources is unclear to me.
• He wears Tigers hats. There is nothing wrong with this on its face. But he has figured out a way to get new Tigers hats all the time, and still have the hats look like they are 5 years old and someone put too much pine tar on them.
• His streak of predicting the Big Ten matchups at a 40% clip was finally broken today.

After consulting that extensive resume of his, it appears I'm mistaken. Carry on with your coverage Mr. S.
