Dang! You beat me to the punch (haymaker, LOL). Oh well, now I have time to find the link to Rush's transcript.
I was on the way to a client and managed to catch most of Rush's rant on the "hip-hop, baggy pants, don't dis' me, gang mentality of the NBA" (condensed and paraphrased).
Rush transcript-Sports Violence Only Going to Get Worse
Rush blew my socks off (yet, again). He came right out and said something like "people are going to call me a racist" but he didn't care.
I'm lying here watching FOX and they just had some sports journalist (apologist) who's followed Artest since high school, saying that Artest is a nice guy and came from a fatherless home (DOH!).
Hey people, there are multi-generational hordes of these fatherless spermweeds out there on our streets (and filling up our prisons). I don't have any answers except to get the heck out of the bi-coastal or blue cities, move to a red state and get a carry permit.
I'm glad Bill Cosby's (finally) stepped up to the plate and saying the things that need to be said.
