FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-I'M A FLIRT!

All the stories you know, and ones you don’t, but should. Welcome to FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY.

MONDAY
-Welterweight Matt Dwyer landed a superman punch on William Macario for a knockout Sunday at UFC Fight Night 61.  Macario seems to have been hit so hard, he's been transported back in time to a moment where he's actually winning before hitting the mat for a loss.


-Here's Giants ace Madison Bumgarner dressed up as Paul Bunyan for the team's magazine and he doesn't look weird or goofy at all in the that getup.  The guy wore jeans to his own wedding so no one should really be that surprised. 

Personally, I think he should just dress like that for games too.  He'd probably toss a perfect game every outing.

TUESDAY

-The Cleveland Browns had been hyping up their new logo for a couple weeks now and that's it?  The fuck is that?  

Someone advertising company got paid a lot of money to update the look with hunter's vest orange and a snarling cartoon Pug?  I'm in the wrong business.

New uniforms will be unveiled next week but looks they've already been leaked...

-What else can you do but drop your paddle after getting pawned like that in table tennis?

WEDNESDAY
-Travis Kelce is one of the best showmen in the NFL today when it comes to end zone dancing but there was no way in hell he was beating the big homie Skim Milk.

-D-ROSE PANIC!!!!!

THURSDAY
-A pair of Llamas went on the lam in Arizona and demonstrated excellent speed and elusiveness. 

Several marquee college programs are now interested...

But fuck all that shit right now...
By now we've seen and heard it all: the hot takes, the trolling memes, the #prayfordrose hashtags and yet I feel nothing....

Chicago went into depression mode earlier this week because people love to panic.

Then a couple hours ago, some good news...I guess.

Joy?  Happiness?  No.  None.  Nothing.

 I have no emotion towards Derrick Rose because frankly, I can't buy into the idea that he'll ever be an effective game-changer again.

The player he used to be, who could attack the rim with athleticism and no regard is gone.  Remember that dude?
NEVER COMING BACK!

BTW, as exciting, entertaining and great as 2010-11 MVP Derrick Rose was, a lot of people forget it only took Miami five games to mop them up in the Eastern Conference Finals that year.

FIVE.

Not a classic seven, not a gutsy six, five.

That means it only took one game of that series for the Miami Heat coaching staff to just say, "Fuck it, let's just throw LeBron at his ass."

As for 2014 season , I thought the Bulls were the best team in the Eastern Conference.  

With the combination of added offensive as well as a rookie head coach with Lebron in Cleveland, I really did think the Bulls had a puncher's chance at a NBA title number seven.

Then the you know, then the season actually started....

Rose's game was turned upside down.  He can't shoot!  Derrick is chucked jump-shots and three-pointers like he was getting a bonus for every brick.

If it continues to look anything like that (it will) when he returns...

Pau Gasol has been surprisingly great, a rejuvenated All-Star with no more angry Kobe to worry about.

He's also a defensive liability.  Opposing players love putting their nuts on his head, including pasty white guys from Indiana...
The other All-Star, Jimmy Butler is a great story, but he's not a legitimate difference-maker.

Couple that with the usual litter of injuries to Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and Mike Dunleavy, Tom Thibodeau's recklessness with his starters' minutes and the Chicago Bulls are right back where they've spent every season since Rose first went down.

NBA Purgatory.  

Hard-working enough to trash scrub-teams on a weekday or catch an elite team napping on a Sunday afternoon, but nowhere near good enough to beat a scary-ass Cavs team in a seven-game series.  

Not bad enough to get a difference-maker in the draft.

Excuse me if I don't buy into the Bulls try-hard and wait for Derrick Rose to rescue them storyline again.

I can't do it.  I've seen it burn too many people too many times.

FRIDAY

-Yoooooo.  Great stick-handling.  Sidney Crosby has your back.  Oh and this still doesn't make the dress white and gold.


WEEKEND WATCH!
What you should be doing this weekend if you know, you’re not seeing 50 Shades of Grey or something better...

SEE FOCUS!

Will Smith is a con man or some shit.  Margot Robbie is a smokeshow.  Should be worth a peep.

WAIT FOR THE DEZ BRYANT TAPE!
The anticipation is killing me!

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!
Recognizing whomever the hell I want!
Shout-out to LEONARD NIMOY!

R.I.P.

Heel turn complete.  I'm out.  Utah, get me two!

-WST
