Fortson will serve his suspension when the SuperSonics open their season at home on November 1 vs. Portland.</div> Source
I guess Stu Jackson really is gangsta. Talk about holding a grudge. This is bullshit. I wish that there was a way to appeal this penalty like there is in baseball. We are already short bodies and Jackson does this? F*cking fa*got. For now on any time someone takes advantage of their authoritative power I am going to refer to them as being an Uncle Stu. There is a reason why he's been fired in every other NBA position that he has had before his current job. He just isn't good at what he does, period. Even Steve Francis was smart enough to figure that out on draft night. Stu Jackson is a clown.
Son of a bit**. That's some of the biggest load of Bullsh** I've read. You just know that it was gonna happen. I actually feel bad for Fortson...he get's treated like crap and people like Artest, Bruce Bowen...just to name a few...are "defensive stoppers".
