Why Is Ron Artest Not In Jail?

[Kurt Cobain]

Ric Bucher. Listen to the podcast. Here is what I do not understand about posters. I express an opinion that I thought Harden interrupted Artest. I did not blame him, I did not absolve Artest (in fact I call him a clown). I then get ripped for expressing an opinion that is shared by others that saw it similarly. What ever happened to saying I disagree?

Your opinion, but you seem to be in the minority. But expect to ripped for an opinion at times (it's happened to me). I think you got ripped because you showed little or no compassion for Harden and in fact it sounded like (to me anyway) you thought he was begging for it. I saw it differently than you did, but like yours, that was my opinion.

But you're forgetting two things:
1) Stern has no balls
2) Artest plays for LA

Well, there's those items to consider as an explanation. What was I not thinking?

I remember one time Darnel showed up to jump center at the beginning of the game and was sent back to the bench by the Refs to remove his hair pic.

LMAO!!!

And Stern admitted yesterday that the punishment for the crime was affected by the fact that it was playoff games, and not regular season games, that he would be suspended for.

That's a crock of BS, IMO.

When reading the interview with Stern and how he came up with 7, which could have been 6 or could have been 8, but 7 was the right number, feel like they were listening to Monty Python and the Holy Grail scene about the Holy Hand Grenade?

ARTHUR: Consult the Book of Armaments!
MAYNARD: Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One.
BROTHER: "And Saint Atila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying,
'Oh, Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou mayest blow
thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and
people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies,
and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large --"
MAYNARD: Skip a bit, Brother.
BROTHER: "And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the
Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three
shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting
shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two,
excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once
the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou
thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty
in my sight, shall snuff it.'"
MAYNARD: Amen.
ALL: Amen.
ARTHUR: Right! One... two... five!
KNIGHT: Three, sir!
ARTHUR: Three!
