Taken from Marc Spears "Winners and Losers" article. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=mc-summerleague071810 Are you kidding me? Is this a tennis match? Are the Clippers brass this fucking stupid that they'd keep their most fervent fan from giving an opponent the business? Unbelievable.
Roeser is just setting the table for 4 years from now when the Clippers steal Wall away from the Bullets!
Doesn't it depend on what he was yelling? I don't know the facts here - but there are too many arenas where drunken clods are allowed to run amuck and ruin the experience for everybody else.
You know your franchise is a joke when you have cap space to sign a max FA, then Wade disses your team for having sucky management, then you dump more players to be able to sign 2 max FAs, and you end up with Carlos Boozer (pretty good) and use the rest of your cap space on scrubs on 2-3 year contracts that expire when Joakim Noah and Derek Rose are due extensions. And they'll probably let one or both walk for nothing, or treat them like shit in the process.
Clipper Darrell? He's pretty intense (you could hear him clearly heckling the Blazers a couple of days ago) but he wasn't drunk and he wasn't cursing, he's just VERY, VERY LOUD!! --IIRC, his favorites are "choke!" "Brick!" and "Miss!" Frankly, I thought he was hilarious.
Like I said, I don't know the facts of this particular case. It could well be the suit over-reacted to an enthusiastic fan. After all...it isn't as if the Clips have that many fans, let alone enthusiastic ones, so the guy may have not known how to react!
Sadly the Bulls came out of this summer looking pretty bad in terms of execution. They even had a GM.
Sounds like Andy Roeser didn't even have a clue to who Clipper Darrell is. Last year when Wookiee went to watch the LVSL he got to eat dinner with the team one night. That's how you treat a home town fan who travels just to see the rooks and scrubs play in summer league. Hopefully Roeser realizes his mistake and quickly pays Darrell's hotel bill or at the very least buys him a drink and hooker.
Sorry Denny, I can't feel sorry for the Bulls. You sold your soul for MJ and after dominating for a decade, you guys are due a few decades of mediocrity.
Yeah, what he said! And is there a service that includes hot chicks wrestling in jello? That's the one I'd be interesting in attending.
The true test of a Preacher/Pastor/Reverend etc... Can they mud wrestle? [video=youtube;M8JI2xBWXVg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8JI2xBWXVg[/video]
I was there and once when Wall took a hard fall and was on the ground for a while and the whole gym was quiet, he tried to start an "overrated" chant.
My top 10 reasons that your franchise could also be a joke Or your franchise is a joke when you have someone kicked out because they are holding a sign showing their displeasure for the GM. Or when you have had almost a month to find a GM, and haven't. Or when you send a threatening letter to other NBA teams. Or when you go on air to call out the media in your city. Or when you select an injured center in the draft over a superstar......twice. Or when you alienate a huge % of your fanbase by signing a cable deal where only some people can watch the games. Or when you give someone a blank check and they bring in players that piss off the fans and sponsors so much that people stop going to games. Or when you are one of the only teams in all of sports that doesn't have a former great from your team involved in a very public level. (coach, color man on tv or radio, GM, president). Or when your most recognizable person in management is known best as a nickname for another NBA team. Or when you are one of only 5 teams that has not hosted an all-star game, and BY FAR the oldest.
