Another Conundrum
Yesterday, Antonio Davis of the New York Knicks charged into the stands when he observed his wife in an argument with a neighboring fan. This has created quite a clamor on the sports radio airwaves today with the general consensus being that it was an honorable act he performed - but he should be suspended anyway. And he was, for five games. Given the circumstances, I think the suspension was a tad excessive. However, I do think he should be forced to pay full price for a game ticket ($90 where he was) and fork over $5 for that beer he snuck from the Miller Lite vendor.

I think we should put a fork in him because he's done. Since when is it permissable for player's to enter the stands when they see fit? Didn't we learn something from Mr. Ron Artest (aka Artest Gilmore, aka Happy Gilmore, Aka Gary "I'm innocent" Gilmore, Aka Gilmore Girls)? Just as fans should not be permitted on the field/floor/rink, players should not cross the line either. There is something improper in crossing that line, but of course, you wouldn't know, would you, homo? Perhaps, I could be more sympathetic but common sense appears to be lacking on the part of Mrs. Davis (aka Sammy Davis, aka Jody Davis). If she weren't being so flamboyant, perhaps this may not have happened. This is why they call it home field advantage. Besides, can't they spend some of their untold millions and watch it in a skybox where she can sip champagne and sample sushi in comfort? I seem to recall that Michael Jordan's wife had similar accomodations. Or was that his secret lover? Or was that Jesse Jackson (aka Jesse Ventura, aka Ventura Blvd, aka Ventura highway)? In any event, I sincerely believe they should kick his big ugly hairy butt back to Indiana. And remember don't cross that line. Reminiscent of that old adage: never the twain shall meet - translation: Go in the stands in Chicago, get a free can of whup-ass! (I was never really good at Mark Twain novels).
By all accounts, Mrs. Davis quite likely invited trouble with her unbridled enthusiasm toward the opposing team. Just the same, should poor Antonio be punished for the misguided actions of his enthusiastic wife? Consider this, he already has to live with her.
I'm sure he got an earful at home from the Mrs. once she found out he was giving up 5 games worth of pay. Just imagine the grief he would have taken had he not gone into the stands at all. She probably has a drum full of whup-ass at home.
Yes indeed. Just who wears the pants in the Davis' household afterall? Since when are men relegated to the outer confines of sanity? What ever happened to the old adage: when men were men and women were glad? Too often these pantywaists like Mr. Davis makes it bad for the rest of us testerone crazed, he-man like, role models to comfortably exist. Besides, if I see him come into the stands, do you think anyone would truly be intimidated? Now, Claudell Washington, there's a freak!
Personally, I've heard enough about all of these people on the periphery of our nation's athletes. From Kendra Davis to Lebron James' mother, you can have them all. In fact, I've ordered UPS to deliver them right to your house. Not to worry, I've also included Mama McNabb and Anna Benson for no extra charge.
Actually, I would prefer to see them rather than their famous spouse/son/relatives anyway. It's almost getting predictable. If they're so passionate, let's see McNabb's mama on the field. Personally, I'd like to see someone take on Kendra Davis on the court and see her bad ass attitude take on Kobe "steak" Bryant. No contest in my book. Kobe would walk away like a wounded whimpering Hooter's girl. Anyone who can boss around Mr. Davis must have enough gumption/testicles to take on Kobe "consensual" Bryant.
I think you have hit upon an enormous idea. Kendra Davis and Lebrons mother go one on one. Mama McNabb and the sex boat strippers (or were they hookers?) take on Pete Rose's underworld pals in Jell-O wrestling. I think you could easily line up a full season of reality shows. And then, by the time the next TV season arrives, I'm sure there will be another group of hangers on ready to fill season two!
If they get hurt, they could call on good ol' Doc Gooden! And Howe!
We could also serve free Piazza during this event.
and drink some Mueller beer!
Just don't send me the Bill.
I'm seeing Red and outta Sox you in the nose.
How Manny times have I heard that before?
Yaz, I think your jealous. Just like that little green monster rearing its ugly head. Don't get short with me because your jokes are Nomar to be seen.
It took you awhile to get that last comment posted; I don't think you're vari teknically inclined.
I'm getting of-FEN-ded by the WAY you PARK your butt and mouth off your snide remarks.
