    Sorry I don't buy into your nonsense with "Can't judge". By the sounds of it, you are an *******. And that is a judgement.

    I think the real question is, who doesn't stomp on the homeless?

    I'll tell ya who doesn't. Al Qaeda.

    I think Terrence joined the Bloods after being selected to 'The Game's' Drew league team. He probably already got away with stealing several packs of bubblicious gum at various gas stations; and now he's stomping on hobos (or gang lingo "packing out" hobos). Hide your wives and kids folks.

    But on a more serious note, has anyone here kicked someones leg when they wouldn't wake up because they are passed out drunk around a door, and in the way? It does sound juvenile and stupid, but it would make sense to wait for more details before sending him to the guillotine.

    Its laughable that people think TJones would get kicked off the team or traded due to this. Slap on the wrist, that's all 99 percent of athletes get. This is Absolutely not in the 1 percent

    If you're afraid of the hobos, don't go into Portlandia.

    That's why I find all the hate, judgement and idiocy funny.

    He will still play for the rockets and will probably start:eek:

    Do NBA teams not make a point to their players, especially their young ones, that they need to not engage in behavior that could reflect poorly on the team? Are there not clauses in their contracts that address this? Or are the owners and managers really prisoners of their players? I honestly don't know. That's probably true, though, isn't it?

    With information being available to the entire world in a matter of seconds nowadays, even the smallest, stupid thing is not going to fly under the radar. And everything is blown out of proportion in the news media, regardless of legitimacy or severity. Especially, if you're from Texas; the national media HATES us.

    But guess what? That's how it is, and I don't particularly give a crap if someone who's getting paid millions of dollars to play basketball is still relatively young and stupid. I don't care if they're getting held to a higher standard than most. They should be; they're a huge investment for their team owners. If they have to walk on eggshells, so be it. I don't care if laws are broken or not; if you're going to make your team look stupid, whether it's by getting drunk at a bar or knocking up five chicks up or whatever, you ought to face consequences with your team.

    Now, as Sir Charles said, you shouldn't be automatically considered a role model. But you shouldn't lower your trade value or make your team a laughingstock either by being an idiot. If you do, there ought to be significant consequences that you have to own. That's a small demand considering that you get the privilege to be a millionaire professional basketball player.

    I call bull **** when other teams players do stupid stuff. I won't excuse Jones just because he's a Rocket.
