Once upon a time Doug told me that at some point I would stop calling him "the Great One" and start calling him "that idiot."

That time is now...

This little rant is to express my reaction to "Doug withdrawal" so to speak.

That idiot Doug Thonus stopped posting here once he got his new job. That's totally fine, seeing that he had to adjust to the new workload and schedule and all. However, it's been quite a while and I'm sure Doug could have found SOME time to post here. After all, he has no problem posting on realgm. GASP!!!! That's right, Doug's posting on realgm, but not here, Bullspodcasters.com. HIS brainchild. This is pretty much HIS forum and it is definitely HIS site (he did make it after all). I mean if he has time to ask a question like this on realgm: http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=939803 why not post it here too? I mean come on, it's about basketball drills. Even I can answer that.

Yes I know August is a crappy month for basketball talk, especially Bulls talk since pretty much nothing can happen. That's why we have all these random OT topics. Surely Doug, if WE can find something interesting to talk about here, so can you. Who remembers the last time Doug posted something? Well for those of you who don't it was his Bullsbeat #128 post. When was that, like 2 weeks ago? We've had a LOT of topics to choose from since then. What if he doesn't check? I tell you he does! He was last logged in on 2009-08-29 20:13:34. That's today. I think he could've posted something. He doesn't even talk about his own topics from Bulls Confidential when they're posted here!

And finally, if there really is nothing to do here because it is August and topics suck, how about reinstituting the arcade or something? It would at least give us something to do...we could even have a high scores thread <_<

So there it is...my Doug rant.

Doug...please come back. WE miss you and your insight. Bulls Confidential doesn't cut it.

Note: I don't think Doug is actually an idiot.

You know it's a crappy offseason when you get excited about a Carlos Arroyo rumor

I dunno, I feel like we have a pretty active board. Most blogs have a ton of members who signed up and never use it. Also, we have members who come in and listen to the casts and leave. This is the offseason and non-Bulls posts have gotten little attention on this site. Unless that changes, I think we are doing more than ok for the offesason. Just my thoughts.

its offseason guys, dont sweat it. if you think its bad here, pay a visit to TSS (remember that site?). the crossover guys are making the best of whats left over there, and theyre still one of the best podcasts ive ever listened to.

once this site launched and took all the bulls fans with it, TSS has been a ghost town, even by offseason standards.

The Sports Stuff. It's the site that Kush's show used to be hosted on. His videogame podcast is still hosted there I believe.

be sure to listen to the crossover :)

plus they have podcasts that cover all kinds of sports, you may find something of interest besides basketball related stuff
