    Remember when Mad Max supposedly threw a weight plate at Carl Herrera's head? Good times.....

    Wrong. I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, but this is consistent with the lack of respect displayed in some of your other posts.

    Why does this place even exist ?

    Clutch City forever.

    Kemah for never. Welcome to ignore. You are truly one of the more awful posters in terms of quality per word. Congrats I guess.

    If I had mad millions, no matter where I was from, I'd stay where the rule of law could better protect me and my family. I'd be scared ****less of kidnappers.

    Wait, I don't have millions and I still feel like that,

    I was reading on CNBC.com was going to go through some tough times with the collapse of oil prices and their huge national debt. Experts are predicting riots in the streets, accelerating crime as the economy tanks.

    LOL!!! So big time oil busters are pissed that they are getting 300% increase on their oil stock.... So now the world will come to end so that we every day people can pay the actual price of the gas instead of the 500% inflation....

    Too freaking funny...

    Some positive news. It looks like he's recovering...

    Translation:

    For those that are too young to remember Carl Herrera the player, he played a big role in the 1994 NBA Finals. Fans in Houston loved him too. His nickname was "Amigo".
