Derrick Rose has a crack in his mind

How soon will Chicago finally give up on him? He is a broken toy, a talent, but still a broken one. They have paid millions to him but all he can worry about is his next contract? Everyone makes a big deal about how talented he is, but he hasn't won anything yet, if ever. And they rip Rondo? He is no different.

Rosalie

i try to set aside what's in People mag from what people are paid to do.
Barkely is famously no role model. neither's Belichick. or most other athletes and entertainers.

but the rape goes way past the line and isn't ignorable.

great talent, so quite a shame. but between that and injury history, and $$ preoccupation (More ? Why ?), enough's enough.

not sure i'm on board with Rosalie's comparison with RR, though. chronic injuries aren't part of Rondo's history. (only getting his shoulder pulled out by Thug Wade, and he more than manned up from that - whoa ! )

RR plays hard ... sometimes. and sometimes not. and stubborn about it. you just never know. this year will be interesting, since he might un-effort himself tight out of the league.

Rose Always plays hard ... when he can play. at least as i've seen it (although i could be wrong).

but when your teammates are turned off and against you, when you can't get and stay on the court, when you're apparently frankly dangerous in society ... just a shame.
not here, please ...
