Got it.
Actually ----- sweet.
Did he hit the club with the bullet? ;-P
Where ARE the editors these days?
Editing takes skill. These days reporting is about making a difference.
Well stupid I don't know but I've seen Jackson with the Hawks and you can't be that good and stupid.
Intelligence shows up in several areas, sports and music being two. So he may be ignorant but he certainly isn't stupid.
And as Larry Bird says, he may also have a bad attitude. Tinsley's a good guy.
Momma said "stupid is as stupid does" ;-)
Could it be special treatment for athletes? Of two sets of laws - one for them and one for the rest of us? I recall a case where a small amount of pot was found in a teenager's car and he lost the car.
AC Green is an example of someone without a rap sheet. However, I'm not sure if he is still active.
I am SO tired of the tabloid crap surrounding ALL pro sports! Which is why I have paid attention to no other sport than horseracing since 1980. The only scandals you find there are the occasional race-fixing (always in harness races) and occasional substance-abuse by jockeys who MUST keep their weight down. When you come down to it, jockeys are the true athletes, they face life and death whenever they get on a horse, and are moral and ethical ANGELS compared to these decadent clowns in (mostly) basketball and baseball.
Yeah, no doubt. I was thinking, 'What did that strip club ever do to him?'
A small amount of pot was found in a basketball player's car, and people phoned in with the message "so little???Here, let me send you a proper stash!"
John Stockton retired years ago.
There have been relatively few scandals among golfers, NASCAR drivers, and hockey players in comparison to basketball, football, baseball, cycling, and international soccer.
And he missed! He can't hit the broad side of a strip club.
A star after soccer - seems many of the violence is by fans or hoodlums, such as the relatives of players being kidnapped in Brazil, the bombs set off, the riots, etc.
There's a reason they call it "dope."
fl will issue licenses to anyone who meets requirements just about anywhere.
Is there an NBA ping list, if so, I would like to be on it.

- The drug of choice for hockey players has always been booze - especially lots and lots of beer. It's a sort of cultural thing that sometimes leads to bar fights plus the odd player who winds up an alcoholic but since booze is legal, they rarely wind up in court.
