If you visit BULLS.COM today, you’ll see quite the sexy little animation asking the musical question we’ve been dealing with as a weary nation since the Bulls’ balls busted through to the top spot: Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley? Rose is the hard-working point guard from Chicago. Beasley is the athletic beast from… not Chicago.

After Mike D’Antoni declined and Doug Collins called it off, the Bulls have offered the job to the 41-year-old Del Negro, who’s currently the Suns’ assistant GM. But sources say Vinny is ready to vault from the Valley of the Sun to the Windy City, with an official news conference expected later this week.

Although he’s never coached before, Del Negro does come to Chicago with a pretty good basketball pedigree. Read more…

It’s been quite a week for sports reversals. First, Bill Parcells & Tony Sparano both want Jason Taylor back with the Dolphins, after earlier shunning the Dancing Fool. And now, Doug Collins blows off his chance to come back to the Windy City.
