Bulls Do Good, Hire Brown

Simply, to badmouth the organization for showing decency and charity to someone who has clearly suffered enormous setbacks in his life indicates to me that, regardless of your facility with language and your keen analytical mind, you have a lot to learn about what is important in life. Confucius said "He who wished to secure the good of others, has already secured his own." And Ghandi said that “…anger is too important an emotion to be spent frivolously.”

IMHO, the direction and tone of this blog have recently headed in an unfortunate direction, with name calling, mock ire and whining replacing the real discourse and statistical analyses that separate this blog from most of the adolescent blather in cyberland. (see yesterdays “the snobbish bull manefesto” to see others unhappy with the constant carping)

No matter how little regard you may have for the Bulls ownership and management, this was a class move and should be noted as such. Your criticisms will have much more validity if you can acknowledge when the organization does something right. And there are worse things in the world than organizational loyalty. Just ask to folks at General Motors.

Finally, just for the record, to say that the Bulls are shitty at trying to win is contradicted by the facts. Only the Lakers have won more titles in the last 30 years. (The Lakers (9), Bulls (6), Celtics (4), Spurs (4), Pistons (3), Rockets (2), Sixers (1) and Heat (1) are the only teams to have won a championship). Ask the fans in the 22 cities that have NEVER won even one championship if they would like to have the Bull’s track record.

I’m pissed off about losing Gordon too, but I’m not going to try to make giving Randy Brown a way to feed his family seem like a bad thing.
