Following the internal suspension handed down by Chicago Bulls teammates on January 14th, Joakim Noah had the following to say about the circumstances...

"I mean, I've just got to accept it," said Noah. "What do you want me to say? I'm a rookie. ... I mean, it is what it is. I've just got to move on, and there's nothing I can do about it. So ..."

So....

Teammate Adrian Griffin responded that, "Everybody on this team knows what Joakim can do. The players are supportive of each other and supportive of Joakim."

In the wake of the suspension, Joakim took Mr. Griffin's statement to heart. He's not quite sure how it applies to basketball...which is why he found himself in Omaha, Nebraska...trying out for American Idol.

Our reporters are working desperately to figure out if this is actually Joakim Noah.

Right now, they've got the odds landing somewhere between "no way in hell - he's a professional basketball player" and "sure it is - he's nuttier than squirrel shit".

Yeah, it looks like he is wearing a Slipknot shirt. Slipknot is from Des Moines, which is in Iowa only a couple of hours from Omaha. Sadly, there are still a lot of "maggots" in the area that think Slipknot is the greatest. Then again, there are still a lot of stoners in Omaha that think 311 is the greatest. Don't they know that its only cool to worship Bright Eyes, and that even they are getting pretty old and stale?

Patrick...don't you know it's redundant to refer to a Gator as a douchebag?

Wow- the Adam Morrison comparison is actually legit. I immediately thought of Noah, but the similarities between Morrison are close as well.

I'm now done looking at this post because the thoughts of a Noah-Morrison love child just ran through my head.

Not nearly nappy enough, unless he spent the Amtrak ride from Chitown to the Big O in the bathroom with a flatiron and seven gallons of hair relaxer.

He sang the John Fogerty hit "Centerfield."

"Put me in coach, I'm ready to play, today!"

Simon said it was "absolutely dreadful" while the Dog Pound and Paula loved it.

All that facial hair? She must be Mediterranean or something.

When Sebek said that he had a picture of a guy who looked like Noah on American Idol, I honestly thought to myself "that dude is actually weird enough actually audition."

Then I saw the picture and confirmed it.

He's such a douchebag.

I should have been around more when he was a kid, huh?

Wow. Just wow.

I'm definitely leaning towards "yea, it's him".

Rowland Office

Even though his teammates quickly tired of it, he insisted that everyone refer to the clubhouse bathroom as "Rowland's Office".
