Indefinite Suspension for Arenas

Crittendon, however, needs that indefinite suspension.

This is a case of the NBA (and Stern) overreating to Arenas' nature.

That may be but under Stern, the NBA has had a history of overreacting and it's served them well.

Yup by Erin Andrews.

Arenas may be a moron, but that's why he's entertaining to me. I remember his posts on his blog, one of which blamed humans for being attacked by sharks for invading their turf, and another offering to send a jersey to anyone willing to teach him how to cheat at Halo.

He should be banned for life for stupidity alone.

Hey, this reminds me a little of some pitcher who carries a bowie knife into the locker room...

When players act like cowboys

Thanks for posting that westofyou. I thought this part was the funniest:

Pacers legal counsel Dick Tinkham: "As owners of the team, we wondered if the guys were getting out of hand with all the cowboy stuff, but then we said, 'Hey, we're winning. The fans loved them. We don't care what they do as long as they play hard and don't shoot each other.'"

Seriously.

They both took the ACT, my cat got a 14, Gilbert a 2. It wasn't even close.

Smart cat.


As far as the current incident it sounds like both players deserve to be suspended at least a few days. It doesn't have to be at the same time (so as to not penalize the team too much) but c'mon 'stupid is as stupid does' really does sum it up pretty well.

edit: Wait a minute, how the heck can a cat take the ACT? I'd like to see video of that.

My cat is pretty smart but I hate watching television with him. He always wants to hit the "Paws" button.

Or Randy Myers who had old grenades sitting in his?

Those are a little different, though. Homer's knife isn't likely to accidentally stab someone and Myers' grenades weren't going to explode accidentally.

Having an undetonated Dibble in the locker room was more volatile than Myers' grenades.

Gilbert shot as many players as Homer stabbed or Randy Myers splattered. Gilbert's is dumber because he broke a large number of laws and his own contract.
