Bulls gore Stiles on Christmas Eve
Posted by Fired Fred on December 24, 2007 11:01 AM
It's not even the first time the Chicago Jordan-less Bulls have taken a colossal dump in a coach's stocking on Christmas Eve.
The Windy City is buzzing now that Scott Skiles has been fired. GM John Paxson had the honor of backstabbing his coach...
In a statement released this morning, Paxson said, “This was a difficult decision to make, but one that was necessary at this time. Scott helped us in many ways during his time with the Bulls; most importantly, he helped this franchise get back to respectability. I am appreciative of his hard work and the imprint that he left on our team.�In a sucky Eastern Conference, the Bulls have stood out for sucking above and beyond the East's standard of suck. Ok, they're actually a game better than the Knicks or the Heat, whatever. So it's Scott's fault John couldn't pry Kobe out of LA. Riiiiiight.
Back in 2001, the Bulls tossed out Tim Floyd, aka Worst Hire EVAR, on Xmas Eve. Maybe Scott got a nice buyout, so instead of trying to motivate a roster full of suck, he can head down to South Beach and try and talk some Argentinian supermodel into putting sunscreen on his bald head.
Maybe John gave him a Christmas present after all. Hawaiian Tropic, maybe?
