Following Wednesday’s 96-89 Bulls victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, a Sixers fan shot a Bulls fan on a Philadelphia train.

Though nobody was seriously injured, this can easily be marked down as yet another case for why Philadelphia fans just may be the worst fans in all of sports.

After Monday night’s colossal collapse against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Chicago Bulls look to be in a heap of trouble.  We all knew the theme for this season was “hang around until Derrick Rose returns,” but thus far this season, the Bulls have done little to prove that Rose’s presence can significantly alter this team’s dynamic.
