    Fuck me, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Sorry Meyers.

    Poor dog lived an awesome life I'm sure. Not much in life more rewarding than giving a pet a good home.

    So sorry to hear this. Losing pets anytime sucks. Losing one that young and on Christmas Eve is the worst.

    Every time I think I'm the biggest a-hole here I decide not to say something nasty because of how terrible I feel about Bella dying and then........

    It never gets easier, no matter how many times I've gone through the same thing. Condolences to Meyers

    I went on Twitter to pass on condolences (losing a pet is always very difficult)...and found I was blocked. Seriously? I've never tweeted Meyers for anything that I can think of let alone something that would render me blocked. Is this part of that hyper-sensitivity people talk about?

    Yes. Yes it is. It has been discussed by many on Twitter how easy it is to get blocked by Meyers, even if you've never used his handle in a single tweet. The prevailing theory is that someone with access to his account (presumably his wife) actively goes out and searches for his name in tweets, and blocks anybody who says anything negative about him in order to prevent him from accidentally stumbling across something that could damage his psyche.

    Based on this tweet from March, looks like Bella had been battling cancer for several months and finally succumbed.

    This is going to seem kinda bad but I'm almost glad it was something like that. With the timing my guess was that someone fed her something she shouldn't have eaten. It sucks either way but I'm glad Meyers or family doesn't have to feel guilty.

    I bet she got the best care possible. Good on them.

    Not exactly dissuading the 'soft' label some have given then. My goodness, if that is the case, success is not very likely in the future. Success is about overcoming obstacles, not always trying to avoid them.

    Daayuummmn Chris bro? Bit early maybe? Lol.

    I don't wear his Jersey anymore, but being a pet lover myself and on Christmas? lol.
    Plus, I don't think he played against the Lakers, so your timing is off.

    If she thinks him reading 'fans' bashing him might negatively affect his performance, and hence his future earnings, that is a very rational thing for his spouse to do. I would hope however, that she's wrong about that. Wouldn't it be nice if he played with a chip on his shoulder?

    :cheers:

    With that said and how Meyers is on the trade block and seems to have his days numbered, shouldn't this just be posted in the around the nba thread?
