Is anybody surprised really?

The prodigal son returns home...to Chicago.

So let me get this straight - it was stated last night during the broadcast of the Draft Lottery that there was 1000 different combinations that this process could give you...and the Bulls had a 1.7% chance of getting the #1 pick. That's rediculous. Is it even fair? It's better than any other professional draft but c'mon, really? One point seven?!

The last ten lottery winners have stacked up like this: (The number after their name is their chance in percentage of getting the coveted #1 spot)

2008 - Bulls - 1.7%

2007 - Blazers - 5.5%

2006 - Raptors - 8.8%

2005 - Bucks - 6.3%

2004 - Orlando - 25%

2003 - Cleveland - 22%

2002 - Houston - 8.9%

2001 - Washington - 15.7%

2000 - Nets - 4.4% - Worst draft class ever

1999 - Chicago - 15.7%

Someone gets screwed more times than not...it's not just the Grizzlies who get screwed.

The Bulls will draft Derrick Rose, don't even question it. What will make the Bulls the most money? Derrick Rose.

The Grizz still could get a decent player at #5, OJ Mayo could still be there, Eric Gordon, Kevin Love...those guys would all help. I'm just glad they're in a draft position that would make Brook Lopez get off the board before the Grizz get to him.

Life could always be worse I guess...you could be dead.

Now - to the Patriots...

Everyone knows they cheat. But now they have cheated many NFL Teams out of a lot of money by making teams think the assistant coaches under Belichick are awesome offensive and defensive geniuses. Through cheating, they have thus prevailed in life. The following are head coaches in the NFL who are Bill's Boys:

Romeo Crennel - 20-28 record in three seasons, astounding. You would think the Browns defense would've been alot better with this guy as their coach right? I guess it's a lot different when you can't film the other teams signals.

Eric Mangini - 14-18 in two seasons with the Jets...stellar. Almost to a .500 record - Amazingly another defensive coach for the Patriots.

Charlie Weiss - 22-15 in three seasons with Notre Dame..not bad. Until you look deeper into it and realize that two of those seasons were with players he did not even recruit...and the 3rd season...he went 3-9. Groundbreaking performance.

All three of these guys are wasting away millions from organizations who have now been cheated by Belichick. It's a shame. Why couldn't I have been in the right place at the right time and been in the room when the videotaping idea started? I hate my life.
