They are talking about Yao and JVG. They are agreeing with JVG. So far, none of the guys agree with the fine. They are saying it's time. The fans don't trust the playoffs because of the officials. Michael Smith said it's not fair, what happened to Freedom of Speech? Cowlishaw was the only guy who said he should be fined. Even Woody Paige said he should be suspended for 2 games, instead of fined. Mariotti is tearing apart paige, he said how do you not know there is something suspicious going on here?
Mariotti -- "How do you know sinister stuff isn't going on around here?!!" "How do you know this isn't true? Political stuff goes on in the league all the time "
Michael Smith is the best one on that show. I can't stand Woody Paige. he obviously wants his mavs to win. You know what he says' is going to be trash when he starts off with Van Gumby.
colishaw is a f*cking mavs d*ckrider and is probably on cubans payroll. he's a complete idiot anyway. why is he even on that show anymore? seriously every other member dislikes him.
I love how they use the fact that Yao is a huge cash cow as 'proof' that they wouldn't rig it against Yao. Maybe they ref yao the way they do to make sure that no one ever accuses them of pandering to the huge international market.
I have to say I am confused about why it is they'd want to persecute Yao. But, you can see it on television.
really, what did you think of his column about how bad the Tigers would hand it to the White Sox last weekend because they were so about what Ozzie Guillen said? I thought it was because of what really happened.
I think it's either the league wanted to make sure no one would make that kind of accusation, or just purely racist towards "out siders" by the refs. I think is the later based on the ways many Euro players were treated when they first broken into this league.
~~~~~ROCKETS NOW ON PTI.~~~~~~~ TOPIC: Did Stern overreact? The guy who normally stands up for the Rockets (glasses) is protecting Stern, and the other guy is attacking Stern.
LMAO. He is tellingthe guy with the glasses, what you're saying is (he puckered his lips and made kiss noises). (saying his is kissing ass to Stern)
NY is a huge market and they haven't won ****. Just because Yao brings a huge market doesn't mean refs won't treat him badly. Stern knows people in China will play bball regardless of whether Rox lose or not.
