Spaceman Spiff

But is he REALLY that toxic? I mean, what are we talking about here, blowing up on the sideline? Twitter? He's not running around doing blow and banging hookers like Michael Irvin. Is he going to do anything thats going to get him suspended from the league? Is he punching teammates like Westbrook on Stephen Davis? Or is he shanking teammates in the neck like Michael Irvin? Has he ever been suspended by the NFL? He's got an attitude, sure. But a lot of WRs are divas. He's no different. The pearl clutching around here about Dez Bryant being a cancer or a poison is over the top. And that's what it is, pearl clutching at its finest. He'd be one of 53 guys here and signed to a small contract. One man, one possession WR does not bring down a team. He acts up and pisses people off? Cut him.

It's a freakin MASH unit. Brian Quick needs to step up, too. Mo Harris. Kinda unreal that we haven't looked at Dez.

That tech was dumb, for sure. I am not sure what he said (has anyone reported what was said?) but the Wizards got out-rebounded and they missed too many FTs. I agree that Oubre is still immature and I agree that a Paul Pierce type would be awesome. But as I said last night, they're lucky that they only lost by 1.

You're right, it's silly to be worried after 1 game. On the flip side, it looks like the same old Wiz.

This is true. Also got beat on the boards by a good bit. Taking that into account with the 3 point shooting its kind of amazing they only lost by 1.

He's getting all the ice cream he wants

I am ****ing dying.

Howard's like:

Easily one of the most annoying players in the game.

Jeff Green and his upper body strength not contesting for the rebound.

Get the **** out.

**** off and retire already, Dwayne Wade. No one gives a **** about you unless you're with LeBron.

Make your ****in free throws.

I didn't know that Jeff Green's upper body was that strong. Thanks, Buck.

Oh man...that was nice getting behind Whiteside but he's gonna swat that **** every time.

Saw that dude cutting to the basket coming a mile away.

Seems like the type of player you love one second, hate the next. two steps forward, one back, etc.

Missing dunks.

What's wrong with a little smack talking?

Nope.

How are the Wiz looking so far? Another 45 win season and a first round bounce out of the playoffs?

That's not even close to my point.

Innocent until proven guilty....and also found innocent, too.

Agreed. He was a fantastic guitarist but I can't stand the way his songs sound. Musically to me they're OK but they're too slick and overproduced. I do like his version of Little Wing though Whatever. There's always the fear of sending someone to death who was wrongfully convicted. But if there's video evidence, photographic evidence, etc....yeah, I'm with it.

I know I'm gonna get a backlash for this, but I really don't give a ****. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25010373/animation-film-fest-rescinds-kobe-bryant-invite-outcry It's not to say that it's SCARIER for dudes right now. Sometimes I think society is nothing but a game of one up-manship where it's a constant battle as to who's got it worse and that's not what I'm trying to do here. But this is unsettling. The article goes on to say that it was settled out of court with Bryant admitting no guilt. He doesn't have a guilty record of rape, yet people are still holding something against him that happened 15 years ago. It's not scary for dudes in a "I can't walk to my car at night" situation, but no ones pretending that it is. It IS scary from the perspective of "Even if these charges are bogus, even if I'm innocent, people are still going to hold this over me for the rest of my life." Yeah, it's Kobe Bryant, yeah, he's got a ton of money and doesn't get held back from things in life that are significant. Ultimately, being held back from being on a jury for a film festival is small potatoes. But what about the dude who isn't world famous, who's applying for a job and they have to do a background check? It won't come up as a felony, but it'll still come up. And as a recruiter, someone who finds people jobs for our clients, I admit that I wouldn't send that guy to a client. Again, not trying to say that men have it worse, but to say that it's not scary for men in certain respects these days is ignorant. Even if innocent, it's still going to hold people back from opportunities.
