    Oh most certainly, even if you generally agree with a front office's moves, there are going to be SOME moves you don't like. You can love the coach but he's going to make moves you don't like, your favorite player is going to take shots you don't like, your wife is going to do things you don't like... hell, you'd gladly die for your kids, there is no great unconditionally dying love, but even they are going to do things you don't like.

    Sorry if I wasn't clear, I was specifically referring to folks who bitch and whine and moan about each and every move the front office makes, no matter what. The "front office hater", or FOH, if you will. Any time a player is replaced on the roster with a player who makes less money, it was ONLY about profit. That sort of thing.

    I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, because there are certainly lots and lots of folks who aren't in the FOH category who don't like the Hinrich signing. I was talking about people who consistently make negative comments for absolutely no reason. Who aren't interested in an intelligent, back-and-forth conversation.

    Just my opinion, of course.

    I hate the front office.

    I liked the Boozer signing. I liked getting Mirotic over this year. I'm actually thrilled Boozer (unexpected, no doubt) was amnestied and the Bulls will spend some of their profit for a change.

    About all I don't like about the moves they have made is their utter failure to actually go out and get the guys they want. We settle for Gasol (who's good but not great anymore) or even Boozer. And their love affair with Hinrich.

    I'm not a fan of defense-only basketball. Where the team wins by slowing the game to a crawl and keeping the score low so a lucky basket can win it.

    I am a fan of Thibs. I hope he dies as Bulls coach, or retires at a very old age.

    There are the front office lovers. They root for reinsdorf to maximize his profit. They'll spin any poor decision or roster configuration as awesome management. Their noses are so far up management's collective asses their noses are brown.

    They cannot fathom that someone would love the team and hate the awful, stingy, management.

    Speaking of noses being so far up someone's ass that there nose is brown....

    Care to show me where someone is rooting for profits over wins from our fan base?

    Or are you merely talking out of someone else's ass?

    I will say this. The above post would not fly on a lot of message boards. I have no doubt Denny will abstain from editing it. So, for that, I'm glad.

    And I actually do respect Denny/DaBullz from back on the old bbb.net boards.

    But I do think some of his opinions are garbage.

    I was responding in kind to the silly FOH whining that goes on.
