D-Rose is gonna have to improve his defense
http://gary-parrish.blogs.sportsline.com/mcc/blogs/view/6271764 Turns out there might be a good reason for Derrick Rose not holding a press conference to announce his NBA plans. You know, besides the whole he's-really-shy thing. Which is not to suggest Rose isn't really shy, because he is really shy. Anybody who has ever seen the freshman basketball star in front of a camera knows that to be true. But multiple sources close to the Memphis basketball and football programs have told CBSSports.com that Rose was recently involved in an altercation over a girl with Tiger football player Steven Black, an altercation that -- how to phrase this? -- didn't go so well for Rose. Put another way, the possible No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft spent the early part of this week looking like a person who had just been in a scrap, making the way he announced his future plans -- through a release distributed by the Memphis Sports Information department -- convenient, if not necessary. That's the bad news. Here's the good news (in bullet points): Rose is not said to be seriously injured. Nobody was arrested or charged with a crime. The altercation did not happen anywhere near the Plush Club. So in the end it seems what we have is two college guys scrapping over a girl. But this is still a story that provides the kind of Just Like Us moment highlighted in US Weekly, the kind of moment that proves even basketball stars/future millionaires have girl problems. In that way, they are indeed just like us -- except, of course, with better crossovers and earning potential.

It wasn't just a fight over some *****. Black fully deserved to get his ass kicked, if not worse.
