#6 Disrepects Derrick

While speaking about the Team USA Olympic roster, #6 made a comment about the team that Mat believes was a direct shot at Derrick Rose.

"There's nothing that we don't have on this roster."

That was the quote from #6 after being asked about Derrick not being a part of the team.

Mat will never shy away from a chance to attack #6, but this one is almost too ridiculous to even get mad about.

#6 is just an idiot.  He can't say the right thing.  Why would you take a shot at a Chicago player when being questioned by Chicago media?  How stupid is this guy?

If Derrick was asked the same question in a hypothetical world in which #6 was hurt, Derrick would have lauded #6's talents and said how much they miss a player like that.

Exactly what Kobe, Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Durant ALL said about Derrick.

#6 just doesn't get it.  He wants so much to be liked, but he doesn't know how to.  It seems like every week there's another story about how this guy said something or did something (cough, the decision, cough) that alienates him to a collection of fans.

Whether he meant this one or not, which Mat thinks he probably is too dumb to realize what he actually said, he's now hated even more in Chicago than he was before.

Way to go #6, can't wait to see ya on your next visit to the UC.

Derrick on NBA 2K13 Cover

Despite likely being out for a portion of the season, Derrick Rose it has been announced that D-Rose will grace the cover of the newest version of 2K Sports NBA video game.

Derrick will join fellow young studs/Kevins, Kevin Love and Kevin Durant.

Mat has trouble playing video games due to his lack of opposable thumb and incredibly small phalanges.

This being said, Mat will likely attempt to barter his extra cheese bits for a copy at the local GameStop.

This marks the third straight year in which a Bull will be on the cover.
