You have probably heard about Chicago Tribune columnist Rick Morrissey eating his own column, with salsa.

When Noah was drafted, Morrissey wrote a column called "You Must Be Joakim" predicting Noah would be a bust, and promising to eat his column, with salsa, if Noah turned into a good NBA player.

When I finally saw the video, one thing stands out: Joakim Noah is not only there watching, but he's up out of his chair, cheering and dancing!

that was funny and cool. I thought the same thing when we drafted him but now I see him as our future center for the forseeable future. He'll never be a big offensive force but he's a good defender and a great rebounder. runs like a deer and has a good feel for the game and basketball iq.

I never had a doubt about Joakim but that was a nice gesture on the reporter's part.

Joakim is a serious early contender for MIP this year... he is probably our best player right now, and I don't know how many people expected that level of production out of him, so it's nice to see.
