    Juugie: Task for you to keep you busy, so that you can post less:

    1) Go to Google.

    2) Look up "quod licet iovi, non licet bovi".

    3) Come back here and report what you have just learned.

    Lol! Nice, but you know an argument on who is and who is not Jupiter is pending...


    Juugie...whether or not there should be different rules or different players is moot, in that the primary rule; fullfill your contractual obligation, is required by both players. Yao made these requirments up front and for all we know paid something of a price for them. Steve did not have the permission to fly solo whenever other things caught his fancy written into his deal.

    People will get really upset with you calling Yao a cow in Latin.

    Just becuase he looks like Napoleon, doesn't mean JVG is an emperor.

    Very good, I am impressed.

    Now sit down and do the rest of your homework:

    Write down 10 times:

    Next time, I will think before I post.

    Hey, where did you get that idea? :confused:

    He was crazy (= German). Ever seen pictures of his daughter, Nastassja Kinski, though? :eek:


    Anyway...any Francis news yet??? There must be something going on! Where are the insiders?

    Rocket Rich NYC?

    By the way, has anyone heard about Popeye's health?

    I hope he is better now.

    In a way, the Rockets are just like a Bon Jovi album

    Steve Francis is Wanted: Dead or Alive
    Rockets fans are just Living on a Prayer right now
    The Rockets give basketball a bad name
    The Rockets will Never Say Goodbye to Cato's contract

    I'm not the biggest Dr. Jack fan but i managed to get my question through to him.

    Jonathan (Houston): Dr Jack, what do you make of all the hoopla surrounding Steve Francis skipping the team flight to phoenix to party at the superbowl? Word out of Houston today is the rockets have canceled their pratice.

    Dr. Jack Ramsay: (4:36 PM ET ) I don't know any of the circumstances...but Jeff Van Gundy is in charge there and makes good decisions on matters of discipline. So whatever the reason for Francis' absence, Jeff's decision was appropriate.

    SHe wasn't as all around pretty as some, but she was hands down one of the sexiest women I've ever seen...Cat People, Tess, etc. That one where she's with Nuryev...Had a serious jones for her as a kid...

    WRONG. The Rockets knew the time they signed on the dotted line exactly what they were getting from Yao. Just like Steve Francis knew (or should know) when he signed on the dotted line what he was getting into.

    Yao also happens to come prior to the JVG game suspensions. Being the first clause, JVG has to honor Yao's commitments regardless of how he feels about it. A DEAL WAS MADE AND BOTH PARTY HAS TO ACCEPT.

    If they choose to do that it's their perogative. There's nothing legally binding that prevents them from doing it. It's stupid to even suggest it's the same as breaking team rules and terms of contract.
