By the way, I found this article entertaining, if only for the chance to see what bulls.com's new Adam Fluck has to bring to the table. In truth, however, it's mostly rehashed quotes from the time of his hiring.
Hope you don't mind, I moved you into your own thread to highlight this. All I can say is Thibs looks a lot like a history professor I serve on a committee with at my job.
Is that black pants with a blue blazer? Doth my eyes deceive? Thibodeau for the win. He's that kid who was never able to match on pictures day in grade school.
Adam Fluck is hardly "new" to bulls.com. He's been the Bulls internet guy for a very long time, for better or worse. I tend to see him for better but I've seen posters portray him for worse. Goes with the territory. I've had contact with him a number of times over the years and he's a pretty decent guy with a great job.
Right, I should have posted more regarding the article. The new "beat" writer there is apparently this guy: By Conrad Theodore | Posted 09.14.10 And I was captivated by this turn of phrase: Chuckles and Thibo just go together.
"Hi. Yes, I am a complete and total dork. I also have the job that all you message board jockeys dream about and wake up with sticky shorts, so **** you. Life is good here in Deerfield. How YOU doing? Sitting in a cubicle in a ****y job you hate, laughing at my coat and pants quietly enough so that schmuck of a supervisor doesn't get wise to the fact that you're browsing basketball sites instead of concentrating on cover sheets for the TPS reports? Thought so."
You have to wonder if Thibo isn't going to have some kind of Krausian dynamic of being the short, odd-looking fellow who just *knows* that he is smarter and better at his job than anybody else, but who is totally made fun of by all the cool and smooth dudes surrounding him due to the nature of the business he's in. I mean, will Marisa Miller ever pose with this guy? But he'll get even, you'll see....(he chuckles.)
Thibs seems more like an inspirational sort of guy to me. Hey you schmuck behind the cubicle screen. You too can be like me! (Unstated: If you're willing to live in a gym, put up with all kinds of shit, and occasionally have your 1995 Honda Civic destroyed by an airplane like Jeff Van Gundy).
That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight, I'm Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
