    He probably was. East St Louis in the house.

    Man, one tidbit from that O-Live blurb I linked that I don't think I ever remember hearing (incredible, though it makes sense):
    I guess it's not really that weird (I mean, even K*be got suspended for hitting Mr. Adriana Lima in the face, so I guess you could say the L*kers had a streak like that), so chalk it up to "Oregonian reporting".

    (Edit: I guess I missed where Lima and Jaric split up after 5 years of marriage.)

    You probably don't know one thing about East St Louis....

    My roommate back in 97' was from there.

    Stop. You sound silly.

    You really are off base here. He used several slurs including er and a certain relative named Thomas, among others. Was suspended by the team and apologized for it.

    I don't believe for one second he used a hard R.

    From 2 people that were there

    He called him a dumb n****r, among other things.

    You went off on a poster for no reason.

    This shit is just weird. You guys are actually arguing about this? I suppose it's good for the site- post counts, and hits and such. I don't know. Guess I would just expect stuff like this to be in the OT area.

    And what's gotten into you, MM??? You used to be so negative, and stir shit up with your posts. Now you're being rational, and backing another member??? :MARIS61: (disreguarding who is actually right or wrong here. That doesn't matter.) That's cool of you. Seriously.

    BTW- There's NO disrespect here ment for you dviss, or el pres.... :cheers:


    Obviously, things have changed some around here. Lol

    I'm about to do that very thing, actually. lol.

    At one point this was a really viable article about a former blazer. I'll see if it goes back to that.

    Its an article he wrote himself. Of course he's going to paint himself (i'm betting he still had a ghostwriter do it) in the best possible light. Still doesn't change the fact that he was really bad all around for the franchise when he was here.

    Dviss you weren't there. You don't know Miles personally. At the very least stop acting like you saw what happened with your own eyes.

    Also, are you telling me that you have never heard of one black person call another black person an Uncle Tom "Hard R"?
