whoa, theo looks ripped in that ‘human eraser’ article.

I wouldn’t be shocked that the looming contract year means Theo will be healthier than in the past. But Wolves likely won’t deal him since they wouldn’t want to take on salary, so maybe they’ll just hope he plays well and as a gift will buy him out midseason.

The BNN link was maybe the worst thing I’ve read in a few months.

Luke Middleton,

You’re exactly right. That BNN link is terrible. Full of inaccuracies.

Also, the Trojan NYC link is a laugher as well.

Ironically, the BNN link is now pulling up a ‘404 not found’ error. Maybe they heard us.

bullsblogger,
When Ratliff arrived last year, the Cs sent around a picture of him in a pool, water up to his waist, bare-chested. He was ripped in that pic, too. The guy apparently lifts a lot of weights with all the free time he has collecting checks for not playing basketball.

I’m so excited for this season to start…reading the articles w/ Pollard and House’s comments, it sounds like they equally as excited as I am.

Comments like this one especially get me fired up:

â€œWeâ€™ve been talking all morning about this, comparing the best teams weâ€™ve been on to this one,â€ said Pollard. â€œWe both feel, based on our careers, that this team is right up there. This team already has that same feeling.â€

I thought it was hilarious that the video on “How big guys cheat” was some guy teaching you how to grab your opponent’s jersey to slow the fast break down. And to think people actually thought of putting. Priceless
