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".
