As primary instigator, Artest's career should be over. Period.

I'd consider letting O'Neil & Jackson back in after this season ends.

Wallace ought to get a 5-7 game sit-down for his part in the initial fight.

 

Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!

I only saw the footage of the players being led off the floor. The fans did look like they were out of thier freakin' minds.

Oh well, sh*t happens sometimes.

How did Artest instigate this?

Arioch7 out.

Thanks for the ping to this. I was totally unaware of this happening until this Sunday morning news (early) and talk shows. I watched and switched channels repeatedly. I think I understood the whole thing. Seems like all were out of control - players and fans alike.

But, gotta say - I LMOA when I heard Tim Russert ask John McCain what he thought about the NBA melee.

McCain answered something along the line of 'Got to get steroids out of Baseball.' BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!!

As a matter of fact, I'm still laughing about his response!

McCain said baseball twice, and I guess Russert was too much of a gentleman to embarrass him.
