Andy Rooney Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Didja ever notice how big that Artest guy is? Didja ever notice how little the guy was he was beating on? Didja ever wonder why they call it Basketball? Didja ever wonder if it was BF that played the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz? Damn, I'm going to miss Dan Rather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Artest really scored points today with his TV sport where he was PROMOTING his new CD.....nice job Artest...you are involved in one of the ugliest moments in American sports history, and hes promoting his CD. Now I wish he got 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF_in_Indiana Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Actually EZC this is a very good thread. I enjoy conversing about things like this (even if you think I'm an idiot). It's just one of those things we could debate forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess thousands of people don't know what they are talking about because they agree with me huh? 131388[/snapback] Especially if they agree with you on this issue. Artest's behavior was abhorrent and if he was so worried about being disrespected he should have stood up to Ben Wallace initially for pushing him in the face. He didn't. Instead he decided to go after 135 pound math geek he thought (incorrectly) threw a cup of something at him. A real man's man there. I remember being in San Francisco for the "no punt" game and the Whiner fans railing on Biscuit the entire game. When it was over, he turned around to the worst group in the bunch, shrugged his shoulders with his arms outstretched, and said "$7 Million." C. Bennett was alot smarter than Ron Artest. I also wish David Stern would institute a rule that says regardless of what record the Pacers finish with, they'll not be allowed in the lottery. Put the screws to them just a little harder, as they shouldn't be rewarded for their poor behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing three of their best players is punishment enough for the actions of a few of their players. It wasn't as if the entire organization cheered and rooted Artest on during the brawl, you know? Instituting a penalty such as that would be unfair to the organization I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd also send a message to every team that the players no longer run the league and that there may be consequences to keeping the the ticking time bombs on the rosters just because they are really good basketball players.

The current mentality is ruining the league in my opinion. I can't even watch the NBA much anymore. I much prefer NCAA hoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF_in_Indiana Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 So now we have Darin calling for the Pacers draft pick being suspended if they don't make the playoffs. You sit here and say the word "disrespect" like that's what it was. It wasn't disrespect. Disrespect is me telling you you are a jackass. This was ASSAULT. I don't give a damn if it were a pillow he threw at him. The weight of the object isn't exactly important. It is a clear and simple case of assault. You sit here and say he should have went after Wallace. Why would he do that? That's a suspension waiting to happen. Instead he went and layed down and minded his own business (did I mention with Wallace still trying to start a fight) and a classless piece of stevestojan thorws something at him causing him to go off and ending his regular season. I love your logic though, it's ok to go after someone who pushes you, but not at someone that throws an object at you. Good one fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
