YouTuberiffic: Luol Deng
One of the biggest things Bulls fans have to look forward to next season is the return of the Man from Sudan, Luol Deng. Only he was injured for so much of last season — and his play was so average prior to the injury — that it’s easy to forget why he could be […]

Is Derrick Rose pure, dagnasty evil?
Rick Telander of the Chicago Sun-Times sure seems to think so. He further suggests that anyone who isn’t horrified by the “fraudulent test score” allegations — in addition to the fresh allegations that a grade was changed on his high school transcript — can go “live in your world of beer-can-on-the-belly sports relativism.” Personally, I think Mr. Telander […]

It features Chicago’s own Derrick Rose, and it’s a fun little video. Just keep in mind that it’s less a bonus chapter to the MPBA and more of […]
Own Michael Jordan’s…guitar?!
Sometime back in the 1990s, the Gibson Guitar company presented Michael Jordan with a custom-made Bulls-themed guitar. It has the Bulls logo, says “Chicago Bulls” and the serial number is CHI (CHICAGO) 23…in honor of MJ’s jersey number! Heck, it even has Mike’s signature. (Jordan probably had to put his name on the guitar to […]
