Public Enemy #1


Is this guy serious? I come home today to some good news in the sporting world. Something that might take the sting out of the debacle in the Dome. Artest was finally being traded. Not only was he being traded, but the Pacers were going to get something decent out of the trade, one Peja Stojakavich. I changed the roster on my NBA Live game. I started to contemplate ordering a Peja jersey, but above all else I was so excited to finally get rid of Ron Ron. Ever since last year I have been saying that we should get rid of this guy. At best he might be the dumbest person in the NBA, at worst he is just the craziest. I don't' care how talented the guy is, he completely ruined last season and showed little to no remorse for doing so. When he requested a trade, I thought, "Thank GOD! So long and good riddance." After waiting forever, finally he is gone.

But then. . ."This just in to Sportscenter it seems that the trade has fallen apart."

No...NO!!! He was gone, he was good as playing in a Kings jersey. "Artest is reportedly refusing to play for the Kings." That feeling I had when Vandy missed a field goal is starting to return. Visions of Big Ben tackling Harper. My general feeling of disgust for Artest has now gone to blind hate. I HATE this man. He wanted to be traded, we worked out a trade and he is REFUSING IT??? It is bad enough that he ruined last season, part of this season, but he is going try and sink this franchise. I love the Pacers and Artest is ruining a proud franchise. The franchise that Reggie built. If I see this man on the street, I might spit in his face. What a selfish prick! Ron, you are ruining the lives of Pacer fans everywhere, get the hell out of here. You don't have any right to determine where you are going to go. You completely stabbed this franchise in the back more than once. You let us down when we stuck up for you. We had your back and you choose to take the coward's way out. The very LEAST you can do is get out of town and let us get on with our lives, but apparently your sole purpose in life is scar a team, fans and the city. Thanks Ron, thanks a lot.

Ron is either a Machiavellian Genius or some sort of Bi-Polar idiot-savant Svengali who can perceive, in advance, the one thing that will totally fuck the Pacers, and do it.

2002-2003 - RonRon is not only a divisive force on the league's youngest team, he out-crazies Rasheed F-ing Wallace, crazy's poster child, and racks up the most flagrant fouls in a single season.

2003-2004 - The Pacers are in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference down by one score with some time left on the clock (forgive me, I cannot remember the exact game reset). RonRon decides now is the time to get Rip Hamilton back for some shoving he did when Mr. Tru Waririireier had the ball. Now, with the Pacers still very much in reach of a Game 7, with a Ref right next to him, he decides to hit the LEAGUE'S BEST FREE-THROW SHOOTER, who wears a very sympathetic looking protective mask, in the FACE. Technical Foul. Pistons score two and get the ball back. Game Over. Playoff-Series Over. Season Over.

2004-2005 - Reggie's Last Season...hmmmmm....... Palace Fucking Brawl.

2005-2006 - Ronny Huggy Kissy Larry Birdy.
Wait a Seccy?
Ronny No Likey Indy.
Make Ronny Saddy with Bad Touch Memories.
Ronny want Tradey.
(But not to sad old Sacramento, poo-poo on them).
Ronny Want Kobe!!! WaAAAHHHH
Ronny still getting Checky Checky though.

We had the chance a long time ago.
Imagine, No Artest, but we keep
Brad Miller
or
Al Harrington.

I'm saying it now. FIRE LARRY BIRD.
After the 2000 finals he gets Donnie Walsh all geeked on Austin Croshere. Walsh did the signing, but Walsh would do anyhting Larry said. Larry leaves, Austin costs 7 million a year for some really great results. I won't blame Larry for Bender, but he "really liked" that guy also.
Now after firing Isaiah, rightfully so, he wasn't a very good coach. But to hold him up as allowing his players to be undisciplined, then let this shit happen on your watch? It's the tough shit rule. It happened while you were in charge. Tough Shit. You're gone. If Isaiah had had any of this happen, people would've been firebombing Conseco.
I love Larry the Player, I love Larry the Coach. FIRE LARRY THE EXECUTIVE.
