Swing and a miss.

Come on, Freaks and Geeks all the way.

NFL Preseason Network Rankings 1) ABC 2) ESPN 3) The NFL Network 26) CBS - Pretty shaky in their preseason ranking of teams. Lots of issues with their depth of announcers behind Romo. They actually have Kevin Harlan and Trent Green heading up their third team - a real red flag.

That's a good guess. The smile lines up with Pam.

Man, I'm just not coming up with anything on this one.

How about a clue?

Unbelievably, your title does not do justice to the unattractive qualities of the woman in the story. If that face doesn’t scare the 15-year old straight, nothing will.

No, she was golden in her best known TV role.

Not Olivia. But she was an actress.

Alannis Morrisette?

I don't really want to belabor it any further, but he didn't simply stop him and ask to see his pass. This is from the Toronto Star column that I am linking below: "The video shows Ujiri is walking slowly. He does not have the special armband the NBA distributed for entry to the court, but is pulling his NBA credential out of his jacket. Strickland puts out both hands and shoves, hard enough to throw Ujiri back. He barks, “Back the f—- up, man!” Ujiri takes a step forward and says, “What did you push me for? You’re pushing the president of the Raptors.” Strickland shoves again, hard. Ujiri’s face is pure anger and bewilderment; he cannot seem to believe this is happening to him. He pushes back." I highly recommend you read the full article. You will see the full array of lies that Strickland told to besmirch the name of a good man at the top of the NBA executive chain. The department withheld the video because they knew that it showed nothing of what Strickland claimed. https://www.timescolonist.com/opinion/op-ed/comment-the-truth-is-there-to-see-and-it-s-all-too-familiar-1.24190674

I've got plenty of character flaws, but racism isn't one of them. Look at the character of the man you are defending. In 1994, he was arrested and charged with felony insurance fraud and making false statements. After the incident with Ujiri he claimed he had "suffered injury to his body, health, strength, activity and person" causing him "great mental, emotional, psychological, physical, and nervous pain and suffering." He filed a worker's comp claim and collected for a year. Also, here is a video showing him politely interacting with fans before the altercation. What changed his demeanor so dramatically. I'm no clairvoyant, but, as Bob Dylan so eloquently stated, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."

Well, this thread certainly took a hard left turn.

We're going top have to agree to disagree on this one. Mr. Ujiri is maybe the most well-known and well-respected Team President is the NBA. Especially last year after he pulled the trigger on the Kawhi Leonard trade, he was considered a wizard (familiar?) of wheeling and dealing. He was profiled at halftime of one of the games of those finals. He had just led his team and city to their very first championship, beating the prohibitive favorites on their own court no less. At that moment, as he steps forward to take his rightful place on the court with his team, he becomes the only known Team President in the history of team sports to be forceably shoved away by security. Now, the question you have to ask yourself is: Would the same thing have happened if he was white? For me the answer to that question is clear. If you aren't swayed by my argument maybe you will be by the reaction of the Warriors President Rick Welts who said, "To my personal and professional friend Masai Ujiri," Welts published to his Twitter account. "I am heartbroken seeing the video of what should have been the happiest professional moment of your life. It's hard to watch and to know all that swirled around you in the aftermath." He then went on to say, "While we had no role in hiring or managing security at our old arena, it happened at a Warriors game and for that I apologize," Welts said in the statement. "You rose above it which doesn't surprise me or anyone who knows you." Nowhere in those comments can one feel the sentiment that he felt it was just "two knuckleheads" butting up against one another.

I was simply trying to point out that he wasn’t dressed like a fan, in a jersey or in jeans. He was in a tailored suit and was at court side, maybe that should have clued in the security guard to ask who he was before he started shoving him. My choice of words could have been better for sure.

It's funny how some people look exactly the same as a child as they do an adult, while others change dramatically. Redd Foxx is definitely in the former category.
