Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Three years ago, Chicago Tribune columnist Rick Morrissey wrote that Bulls first-round draft pick Joakim Noah would not be a productive NBA player in three years. If he was wrong, Morrissey said, he'd douse his column with salsa and eat it.
Three years into his pro career, Joakim Noah is one of seven NBA centers averaging a double-double. This is productive. So Morrissey sacked up, bought a jar of salsa, and ate his column in front of Joakim Noah at Bulls practice. Tribune cameras were there to capture the moment, which is made even more entertaining by Noah's refusal to sit still or be quiet while Morrissey explained the gambit. I'm betting Joakim Noah doesn't get to lecture people often; he clearly relishes the opportunity.
