    Seattle said it was for "conduct detrimental to the team", don't they know he's on two of my fantasy squads. [​IMG]

    It's about freakin' time. I never liked him as a player. With all the trash talking he does, I'm surprise he (or Jordan) is not in more altercations.

    Just because he's a trash talker doesn't mean he deserves to be suspended. That's part of the game.

    No, he was suspended (this time) because of "conduct detrimental to the team."

    I don't care if it was Jordan, Bird, or Payton, trash-talking should not be a part of the game. Knock their asses to the floor a couple of times and they'll learn to shut up.

    Now I'm all sentimental for the Pistons teams of the 80s.

    Payton is a tremendous talent, the best PG in the league on both sides of the ball, and I have always defended. But the last few years he has been a CANCER on that team, plain and simple! Hey Payton, you didn't exactly have a couple of great games yourself, Patterson has been the best player on the team the last week or so. Payton should have been suspended 2 or 3 games, but one will suffice.
