BULLETS

Here are some great reads from today, so check them out...

• If you are a Marquette Golden Eagles Basketball fan like I am, this is a must read.
• MJ = Still G.O.A.T.
  
• SI's NFL Stadium Rankings. Soldier Field comes in at 17.
• Another great Jerry Krause article. This one takes a different perspective on Krause.
• NBA trade talk already heating up. There is one Bull in the post, and this is what it had to say about BGeezy... Many scratched their heads this summer when Chicago GM John Paxson didn't trade Kirk Hinrich after drafting Derrick Rose with the No. 1 pick. Though I haven't always agreed with Paxson, he was thinking clearly on this one. Had he traded Hinrich, free agent Ben Gordon would've been in a much better negotiating position with the Bulls, knowing they wouldn't want to lose their two key back court veterans in the same summer.

  But Gordon called his bluff and signed his one-year qualifying offer. Now Paxson has a decision to make.

  On one hand, the chances of his losing Gordon next season when he hits unrestricted free agency are high. Gordon hasn't been happy with the way the Bulls have negotiated, and that's probably not going to change. On the other hand, Gordon's contract demands have been fairly outrageous. The reason there was no sign-and-trade talk was that no one in the league wanted to pay Gordon what he was asking. So maybe he won't have as many free-agent suitors as he thinks.

  But in any case, it's likely he'll want a change of scenery, and the Bulls sound willing to give it to him (though they can't trade him until Jan. 1). If they do, they'll have to get his consent to any trade, but as long as he's sent to a team with cap room and playing time, I doubt he'd object.

• Shaq's tripping again.
• Ball Don't Lie's Bulls Season Preview.
• I thought this was interesting, the Obama campaign hit video game consoles near you!
• Please Mr. Paxson, do not bring Derrick Rose off the bench.
• College Hoops is a shady business.
• Daniel Hackett - Oj Mayo Beef?!?!?
• Is Romo going to play with his broken pinkie? It sure looks like it, especially after his idol Favre seems to have told him to play through the pain.
• I'm sure everyone has heard about this Roy Williams trade by now, but if you haven't, check out the details here. Overall I think it's a good deal for both of the parties involved. The Lions get 3 draft picks, which will help them rebuild for the future, and the Cowboys get another big name to add to their star studded offense. Let's see how it all pans out.
• Steve Nash being Steve Nash. Sweet.
