Derrick Rose Tears ACL

Derrick Rose tore his ACL yesterday in Game 1 of the opening playoff series against the Philly 76ers. This is a huge blow to Chicago.... obviously. I don't think they have a chance of winning this anymore. They have great players on that team, but he is definitely the most important part. If they can beat the Sixers, I can't see them getting any farther.
This definitely makes my favorite in the Eastern Conference the Miami Heat. I just think LeBron is gonna be too unstoppable. I would still like to see the Magic make it to the Finals, but without Dwight Howard that is gonna be super tough. Right now it has gotta be between Atlanta and Miami, just because both teams are healthy right now.
I like OKC in the Western Conference. I could definitely see the Spurs win that conference, but I like the youth of the Thunder and I can see them running the floor on the guys from San Antonio. Should be a fun NBA Playoffs to watch yet again this year.
Again, it is really sucky to see a guy like Derrick Rose get injured like this. I hope he has a speedy recovery, and good luck to the Bulls in the rest of the playoffs.

Matt Forte Is Gonna Leave Chicago

The Bears signed running back Michael Bush today to backup Matt Forte. Bush signed a deal worth $14 million over 4 years. This is about equal to the contract that Forte has right now under his franchise tag. Here's what Forte had to say about it over Twitter:

There's only so many times a man that has done everything he's been asked to do can be disrespected! Guess the GOOD GUYS do finish last....

for the record I'm not mad at the signing of another running back. This is 4th time that's happened. I embrace competition as well as help

But as for not taking care of ur own and undervaluing a player under his market value is another story! #twitterrant

Just Keeping it real...hate it or love it

Forte has every right to be mad about this situation. He has easily been the biggest offensive weapon on the Bears for the past 4 or 5 years. He has proven that he is one of the most, if not the most, talented running backs in the league. Last year he made the Pro-Bowl. And what does he get for it?? He gets paid the same as a below average running back. I think Forte is definitely gonna want out of Chicago. They are just straight up disrespecting him, and I think he needs to find a better team. He could really be the missing piece for a lot of teams. But like he said, he's a nice guy. I just hope he isn't too nice to actually get what he deserves. Good luck to Matt Forte in finding what you need man!
