News flash: the Bulls suck.
There is just no lighter way to put that and frankly, that could not even be considered editorializing considering how high the expectations were for a team that is currently 17-26.
No liberal media bias here–we’re dealing with cold-hard facts.

But here’s the real surprise of the season: the Bulls celebrated their 71st consecutive sold-out stadium on Sunday. That means that on any given night the Bulls are at home, approximately 22,000 people have 1) nothing better to do, and 2) more money than they know what to do with.
