Okay, so rarely do I get this riled about newspaper coverage, but I do have to say, I am getting tired of all of the coverage the girls from Gloucester High School in Massachusetts are getting. I think as a society, we are asking the wrong question. Do we really care if there was a pregnancy pact between the seventeen girls that are now pregnant. Isn't the proper question, why did they decide to get pregnant? Let's assume arguendo, that there was a pact, wouldn't the reason behind the pact be more important than the pact itself? And if there wasn't a pact, does that mean there was something in the water in Gloucester, Massachusetts? When will we forget about the stupid he said she said and get to the real question: why are high school kids getting pregnant?

Who Really Cares If There Was A Pact?

Finally Something To Celebrate - GO BULLS!
So after a depressing season, something has finally gone right for the Chicago Bulls. No they did not pull a miracle trade that would make us 100 times better. Nor did they get their choice of coach, when Mike D'Antoni choose to coach the Knicks instead of the Bulls. Instead, we actually won the NBA lottery!!! The most amazing part is that they only had a 1.7 percent chance of winning the lottery. Now comes the hard part. Who in the world are they going to pick? Okay, so it is not who in the world, but most probably who out of Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose.
According to Chad Ford of ESPN, he believes the Bulls will be picking Beasley. While, I am not so sure of their choice, I think either way, the Bulls will be improved. :) The one major advantage that Rose has an intangible factor, he is a hometown candidate. Unlike Beasley, whose hometown is Fitchburg, Massachusetts and went to Kansas State, Rose went to Memphis and his hometown is Chicago, Illinois. With that said, the Bulls definitely need help in the low post and Beasley is a power forward, while Rose is a point guard.
In the end, the solution is easy. Sit back and relax and get ready to say GO BULLS!!
