Oh I'd Better Learn How To Face It
 

Published 4 days ago by Big Sweet (noreply@blogger.com) at Thank You Isiah

This could be it . In a new development, Bulls guard Ben Gordon said he wouldn't sign the Bulls' one-year qualifying offer of $6.4 million, setting the stage for a possible stalemate. "I'm definitely not taking it," Gordon said Friday night at a charity function in New York. "I've already expressed that to them. I mean, that's not an option." Cue the Hall and Oates, gendered pronouns be ...

Remember that line on Blog-a-Bull about a month back: "Skiles is getting the band back together"? Well, he just picked up his old sound guy. No word yet if lead singer Antonio Davis can be coaxed out of retirement.

Not a post for 10 days, and when TYI does bring you something, it's about Drew Gooden losing his beard-growing bet to DeShawn Stevenson. (And the damn thing was already on True Hoop so you've probably seen it already anyway.) In other news (via Blog-a-Bull), Ben Gordon appears to be considering 'pulling a Childress.' Doesn't seem too likely, but prepare for some non-linear, expletive-laced ...
