Recycled quote from last week, apparently

 

[95 Vol Alum]

My biggest sports media (or media in general) gripe is someone saying or alluding to knowing something they won't report on. STFU if you are just here to flaunt I know something you don't crap. Annoying AF.

What about when people do it on a message board?

Well, it's not desirable in any setting but when your career is "reporting" then it smacks of unprofessionalism. Lines are blurry with social media stuff anymore, unfortunately.

Pat Beverly and Fox News

Name a more iconic duo

Hard not to see the racial connotations Fox News wants to emphasize.

Yes, I know Bev said this, but why would this be the quote Fox decides to tweet about?

I honestly feel like he should have waited another week or two. This just makes it look even more like a PR stunt.

He’ll be back Wed v Rockets

Suspended less than 10% of the season for multiple (4) incidents. I was told the NBA was as strict as the NFL.

This was equivalent of 1 game NFL suspension...

Yeah, wtf is this headline-worthy? Who the hell at FN cares what Pat Bev has to say, unless somehow it's especially validating to them? Curs-ed rap music! Bring back the people trying to ban 2 Live Crew. I love that version of America.

I'm sure those 2 minutes of counseling did wonders for him and he's completely changed

Some dudes just gotta get in real trouble one time, and it doesn't matter if the punishment is severe. If it's real enough to scare him, then it might be enough to make him act right going forward. He probably got away with everything his whole life and def needed a wakeup call.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I’m not caring if he needed therapy or not. If his behavior improves, great. If not, going to be tough for him to be the star he sees himself being.

This is so lame

I cringed watching the clip on ESPN.

Agreed, but we will have to see if there is actually a change.

That’s one of the craziest ejections I have ever seen

Gotta ****ing win today
