    there was a small segment on 1st and 10 about the rockets and the heat and who is the better team since both teams were hot right now.

    i have no problem that both paige and bayless picked miami to be the better team because they have shaq who is determined to prove kobe and buss wrong but paige goes and says that houston wont do well because they are soft and that yao is soft and how he will never live up to the player everyone made him out to be. then bayless goes and says yao is soft and t-mac is selfish


    i guess there is nothing we can do short of winning it all this year to get any respect but oh well lets do that and prove them all wrong

    At least Bayless said JVG was a better coach than SVG.

    Paige and Bayless are a few weeks behind. Give them time to catch up with what the rest of the media are saying and then they will sing our praises.

    1st and 10 disses

    Woody Paige started off the disses by calling Yao "still a very soft center" and making his pint a a very racist way by saying something like"for those of you Houston fans this is why the rockets have a problem, this says: sooofffft." While holding up a card with the chinese figures for, I guess, soft. Then whoever that other guy is said how he agreed that Yao is soft and get this..."T-mac is too selfish!" This came immediately after they pointed out the fact that the rockets just won 5 straight against 4 of the top 5 teams in the West. I guess with all the praise we've gotten lately, we must take the good along with the absolute idiot comments like this. Woody Paige is on my mute list, that other guy never had any credibility anyway(dont even know his name). Anyone else agree that this show absolutely blows??

    It seems like it. Everyone (media) is starting to catch on and kiss our ass now.

    Now Paige just called the Texans a mediocre team that needs alot of help (talking about O. Pace). This guy is on a roll today with his Houston bashing.

    I love the oversimplification of the media. It makes things so much easier for we dullards to understand.

    :rolleyes:

    it's why i can't stomach the national media much at all. it's why 790 does nothing for me. these guys rarely see the team i care about play on a regular basis. they make broad generalizations based on stereotypes or based on what they heard/read elsewhere. i think it's even more pronounced in baseball. i'm always amazed watching MLB on Fox how little they know about the Astros, for example...and how much factually incorrect crap they assert.

    I'm not from China, but I would be PISSED off at the way Woody Paige was being condescending with his view points--

    He had a sign that said soft/weak in Chinese characters, and going (I'm paraphrasing.. "This is for the Chinese fans, this means soft, Yao Ming is a soft center and the Rockets are still a soft team...."

    Then he had this sign with strong in Chinese characters , and going "This means strong, Shaq is a strong player...

    UHH -Wouldn't the fans in China already know how to read Chinese ? Those two Woody, and Skip are so xenophobic , it makes you embarassed to be an American sometimes....

    Do you disagree with his statement that the Texans are a 'mediocre' team? Currently they are. They also need help in a lot of areas including offensive line, wide receiver, defense and depth.

    I see no Houston 'bashing' at all regarding his Texans comment.

    they should of had a little picture of a muscular monkey and said this means "strong" when comparing to shaq.... but in the US you can only be racist vs asians and get away with it... as many of you already know.

    Talk about last week's stereotypes. I was half expecting them to pull out a "Lebron is all hype!" type comment.

    Is this the same goon that wanted to vote Matt Bullard off of the Dream Job competition?

    They just had a 5-10 minute segment on the Rockets on NBAtv. Fred Carter's predicting a Van Gundy - Van Gundy Fiinals. All 4 on the panel pretty much agreed that Houston is the biggest threat to the Spurs. Just because a couple of idiots dissed them means nothing - the majority of the media is pretty much kissing ass right now. Even Hakeem never got as much as T-Mac is getting right now.

    Woody Paige doesnt get too much credibility in my book. He sounds like an idiot 99 % of the time. Greg Anthony usually has good insight, but most of the ESPN *analysts* or whatever the hell they are simply suck.
