They've been like that ever since the start of Melo's choice of opting out. I think we would too if our team has been slacking in the regular season to the post. But that place is hell for a Bulls fan because you can't tell them how factual something is without it being a compliment towards the Knicks franchise. They gone loco. :crazy:

There's no chance a bunch of marketing firms or personnel know that Melo is coming to Chicago and nobody else does. That's such BS.


Sports Illustrated apparently knew since late Wed-early Thurs that Bron was going to Cleveland and they kept it quiet.

Who cares what the Knicks Board members think.

I think it might be a time for a momentum meter update though


You know I always felt like the Knicks should win a championship someday for their long suffering fans. But their fans make it so tough for me to root for them (when the Bulls are out of it of course). They may be panicking because If Melo leaves, they are going to be in full rebuild mode. It may take them years to be a top 4 team in the East again.

Sometimes I wonder if every team's reporters are homer's except for ours. It feels like all Bulls beat guys are the ultimate 'realists'.

2012-2013 was their last good season.

Not even bias, but they aren't really the Mecca anymore unless u mean it started there.

They have no superstars from NY, Chicago is the Mecca.

I don't think he's Mexican but I think he's the CEO of Nintendo in America. I don't get why he's a meme though. :roll:

In terms of the marketing team knowing before everyone else, if you're working in that department you've probably signed an NDA. If you want to keep your job, you have to keep your mouth shut. With the economy the way it is now, thats huge.
