Derrick Rose had the all seeing eye tattooed on his neck, but later got one over it that reads ‘God speed’. I was in Chicago the day he “tore his ACL”. It is said by many that that he was forced to fake his injury because he wouldn’t partake in the rituals & sacrifice, forever altering his career. He basically says this in this interview. #NBA #Bulls #rituals
No one believed in him.
Everyone thought Merab would walk over him again.
The ones who picked him didn't believe he could win via decision.
Petr Yan proved all of us wrong 🫡
The NFL overdid it with the ‘Madden-ing’ stuff today. Like, I get it. But what’s with this Christ-like worship of Madden? Here’s Jason Garrett making up a story about how he froze a turkey leg from 1993 that John Madden gave him. More pro wrestling. #madden#maddening#NFLWWE
Would Aroldis Chapman ever play for the Yankees again?
“No way. Not even dead. If I were told that I was being traded to New York, I’d pack my things and go home. I’ll retire right on the spot if that happens. I’m not crazy. Never again … I dealt with a lot of disrespect there.”

not gonna lie, never been a Silver supporter. Hated the direction he’s taken the league w gambling, the sprawling streaming mess. he’s flat out ruined AllStar Weekend. he’d sell his own soul for advertising space - the courts are covered, refs rocking Emrites patches, teams wearing advertisement on jerseys.
his one achievement is maybe the NBA Cup, which is fine.
also my tinfoil hat conspiracy is that he orchestrated Luka to LA for Flagg, tho it’s impossible to prove.
either way, I think he genuinely fucked up w clearing Rozier & he’s had numerous gambling scandals on his watch now - it’s time to end the Silver era.
When you consider that Pop's ideal retirement with his wife was tragically taken away from him, and then he was robbed of his backup plan by a stroke, it's incredibly moving that the franchise and players are so visibly taking care of him
You rarely see behavior like this in Pro Sports
