Bad Bull Karma

a) Bad Bull Karma
I've said this for a while... unless LeBron is an idiot (and he is not), there's no way he comes to the Bull. D-Wade tells you why I'm right.


Money QOTD1
"I think the biggest question that you think about has to be loyalty. I know one thing about Miami: It is a very loyal organization. I see what they do with their players when their players get done with the game of basketball … how loyal they are. I don't know about the Bulls."
- D-Wade on the disloyal Bull
And this is bullshit from the past QOTD2
"Players and coaches don't win championships; organizations win championships."
- Jerry Krause Bull ex-GM and Jerry Reinsdorf owner
Reinsdorf is the main guy. He couldn't wait to get Michael, Scottie, Pheel and the other Bulls out of town. Well, now maybe some of that bad karma will come back to roost on the Bull this free agent summer.



Prediction: LeBron will sign for 2-3 more years in Cleveland.
Reasons aplenty: his home town, they can give him more dough than anyone, he can name his own coach, he's still only 25... and if he doesn't win over that time, then he gets Cleveland to handshake on a sign-and-trade in 2-3 years so he can go anywhere he wants.

b) Good Ozzie Karma
Another tasty Ozzie eruption...

QOTD3
"Sometimes he thinks (bleeping) people pay to watch him (bleeping) umpire!"
- Ozzie, on Joe West, link
Good video of the shenanigans here:


It's interesting to get the calls from both TV crews: White Sock and Cleveland. Hey, if Steve Stone says something is not a balk, then I believe it. But then the Cleveland announcers are right too... when you throw your flipping mitt, you're gone.

QOTD3
"He's becoming a joke to the umpiring profession."
- Hawk Harrelson, on umpire Joe West, video
I know Ozzie will be fined and/or suspended.
I wonder if TV guys ever get in trouble.

c) Castle birds
It was nice to walk out this morning and see both my Castle "tenants". I have my usual doves with a nest in my portico, and a newbie robin whose nest is right above my office window.

safety third... yow, bill
