Bulls: Scottie, we're going to build a statue in your honor. Pippen: Can I just get the cash equivalent?
I agree with you, but "deal with it" is such an abrasive term. There are many different ways to deal with things. In this case, methods could include calling him a quitter or making a comment about how he took it in the butt from his college roommate.
Anyone remember the SNL skit where Will Ferrell was on QVC selling a bronze sculpture of Pippen's busted looking head?
