Yeah...he was very jolly and upbeat on the Today show ....holding up his music CD about 5 times and smiling from ear to ear. Anyone who pays to watch sports these days is nuts IMHO.

Thanks for your report governs.

While I am not a basketball fan (I dread March madness because I live in the heart of ACC country), I am pretty appalled at what I saw on the Today show this morning.

If the NBA truly wanted to "send a message", they should have banned Artest for life. Just like US Figure Skating did with Tonya Harding. It was more important to US Figure Skating to stop that behavior than it was to allow Harding to continue to skate who, at the time was, an
exceptionally talented skater. Yeah, I know skating and basketball aren't comparable, but how their sanctioning organizations deal with bad behavior are worlds apart.

It is a shame that people like Artest are going to be idolized by many people while people like Cal Ripken don't get nearly the recognition they deserve.

Thank you for this well written report, I was looking forward to it this morning.
