Getting in fights on the side of the road can often go really bad.....

What morons. It's a friggin' game. If their egos are so dependent on the success or lack thereof of a basketball team....sheesh.

Yep, I went to one Kings game the 5 years I lived there. A friend had a free ticket, so I went and paid $8 for a beer. The NBA is nothing but a show these days. The Olympics revealed that for all the world to see.

Apparently, the dispute was fueled by driving habits rather than a game, as if that makes it all the more justified.

I don't even pay attention to the NBA until late May. I sure don't watch until Game 5.

Would have been a lot smarter to walk away from trouble. All of them are old enough to know better. Wonder if alcohol played a roll.
