I was someone who grew up not caring about hockey. My dad (shoutout Drew Mac if he reads this week) is from Detroit and a Red Wings fan, so I enjoyed watching the early 2000s Red Wings teams when I was young- Steve Yzerman, Brendan Shanahan, Nick Lidstrom and Dominik (the dominator) Hasek. After about 2003 I didn't give a shit anymore. But man, that Blackhawks team swept up the hole city. I remember riding my bike to the center of town after they won their first one with people waving flags and cars honking in the street. I acted, and felt, as if I was a lifelong fan.
Yes, I'm aware of what a bandwagon fan is. But that was so damn fun. I remember looking online to buy an Adam Burish jersey. I just looked it up and he had 11 goals in his 4 year tenure with the Hawks.
The Bulls man... All I'm saying is.. don't let them get the 10 seed! right now that would have us playing either Miami (2-0 against) or the Nets (3-1 against) and then onto the Celtics (2-2 against) or Bucks (2-1 against).
Given the Carter drama, how would you feel about the Bears standing pat and taking Will Anderson at 1? If they didn't feel like the price was right on trading back, and didn't think they could get their guy it seems like a reasonable outcome.
I have a lot of thoughts on this. What Carter did could have happened to most any of these kids in the draft. It shouldn't affect his draft status but, that being said, there are questions about him taking plays off which to me makes Anderson the pick.
Yet, I am intrigued by getting as much draft capital as possible. What if we trade with Indy and then Detroit really wants Anderson and comes with two pretty high first rounders?
Love the westbrook reference when saying pat bev "tricks yall"

Crazy to think that kane was winning stanley cups when I was 9. Now 14 years later getting traded and still able to make an impact. Unreal.
Right -- 14 years later being someone that is considered a difference maker for another cup run.
Completely agree on the Nick Madrigal view. I know baseball want the .230 hitter with 30 HR's but don't we also want On Base Percentage?
Why eating cookies as an example versus constructing gifts at 1AM on Christmas Eve......I preferred Mexican Wedding Cookies or Chocolate Chip.
