According to this Yahoo Sports article, Phil Jackson recently stated that Dennis Rodman was the greatest athlete he ever coached. Better than Jordan, Pippen, Kobe? Even better than the great Luc “I got hops” Longley?
When I read this, I actually wasn’t that surprised. I always loved watching Rodman play when he was with the Bulls. He always looked like he was jumping around the court on a pogo stick. And I remember hearing about how he would finish a game and then hit the gym to lift weights and do some cardio while the other guys showered up and left the stadium.
Man, I miss the good ole’ days when the Bulls were actually good. It’s depressing to think about the past!

Game on at SPL!

My library is gaming in more ways than one. Recently we had our first Scrabble Open Play event and more than 16 people showed up for some fierce word battles. We provided the deluxe scrabble sets and awarded copies of the Official Scrabble Dictionary to some of the top scorers. And just a few days ago, we held our first Senior Wii Club event and about 18 people came out. Everyone was really into it and some in particular were definitely not afraid to show a little emotion. We had one gentleman make an eagle in Wii Sports Golf and he got a quite the reaction when that happened. We’re planning on making both these events a regular monthly thing and we’re also starting gaming programs for youth. And…my hope is to someday put on a Madden Football tournament. Maybe the week of the Superbowl?!
Check out some pics (courtesy of Ruth) from these two events:

Bulls pick 1st!
Filed Under Sports | Leave a Comment
YES! The Bulls landed the first pick in this year’s NBA draft!
Will it be Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley? I haven’t seen Beasley play much (just a few highlights from the NCAA tourney), but I caught a few Memphis games on television this past season and Rose looks incredible. Oh, it’s a good day to be a Bulls fan! Read more at ESPN.

Some thoughts after the Super Bowl:
1. Still the greatest single-season team ever? Yes, the ‘85 Chicago Bears! If the Giants were able to get to Brady, imagine what the 46 would have been able to do to him!
2. I know there was just one second left on the clock, but Bill Belichick should have stayed on the field. His classless early exit to the locker room reminded me of Isaiah Thomas and the Pistons walking off the court as they were getting swept by the Bulls in 1991. And the post-game interview, if you want to call it that, was priceless. Has there ever been a more unlikable coach in the history of sports?
3. Tiki Barber has to be hating life right about now. Not only did he leave the Giants one year too soon, he was also proved wrong about Eli Manning.
4. My favorite ad was the Tide-to-go ad:
