    Either my sarcasm meter is broken, or you have the email confused. That was from Royce to the Doctor. By the way, totally uncool for Royce to display an email from his Doc like that.

    Yes, but ON TOP of all his other shenanigans, he is now lecturing people to use Twitter more for their public airing of grievances.

    Goodness, what an idiot.

    I'm beginning to think T-Will wasn't so bad after all. At least not compared to this dumbass.

    first of all... that email is sent FROM white to his doctor.

    second... your undergrad major doesn't mean shi* after you've gone through a doctoral program.

    THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING, IN MY NOVEL relating to myself, and others IN LIFE- YOU GOT TO GO TO WORK, AND DO YOUR STUFF....REPPED....Twill read Clutchfans, lets hope Royce does too, because ROYCE, GET TO WORK....

    You are exactly right, he thinks he is just too GOOD for the D-League, c'mon man. Ya, Royce, you are an unproven "commodity" my lord, this dude is off the wall, he's a rookie, Twill wasn't even a rookie doing this, at least he tried in practice, as far as we know Royce isn't even practicing....

    Supposedly a smilar thing happened, but on a smaller scale, in Minnesota. He was kicked off the team and burned bridges on the way out.

    Wait...first you are the one who farks up and then you lash out at those who inform you what would have been right?

    Hmmm....somehow very fitting for this thread.

    An undergraduate degree is irrelevant.

    He is a M.D, which means he completed the required post-graduate education. He's also board certified and a member of multiple medical organizations, which means he's licensed to practice as well as participating in the wider medical community.

    There are LOTS of Doctors with undergraduate degrees in unrelated areas like Engineering, History, English, etc.

    Similarly there are Lawyers and MBA's with undergraduate degrees in unrelated disciplines.

    Finally, Home Economics at the University level is completely unrelated to "Home Ec" in high school.

    Haha...

    Even if I got the to and from fields confused, at least give me some credit for bringing some comic relief to the thread. The home ec scene from Superbad is classic.

    So you're OK with piling on here, but not in the D&D? Ok. :)

    [Yahoo NBA] Ball Don't Lie's Eric Freeman writes up on the issue

    http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/royce-white-rockets-odds-over-deal-anxiety-144506477--nba.html

    [rquoter]On Tuesday night, hours after the Rockets announced their intentions to send him to the D-League, White issued a statement (via the very popular Rockets message board ClutchFans.net): [/rquoter]

    Did he really issue the statement via you Clutch?
    That's awesome from your journalistic credentials point of view! Kudos

    I haven't read the article yet so can't weigh in on Freeman's assessment.

    1) Everyone responded within a relatively short timeframe of your mistake. He may not have noticed the "8 billion" responses.
    2) Your observational skills are in doubt, anyway.

    Excellent synopsis of the home economics syllabus at the University of Alberta. Thanks a lot.

    And you're right - I'm sure that a deep knowledge of the optimal temperature for baking bread was indeed the ideal academic foundation for a career counseling top flight professional athletes on chronic anxiety issues. ;)
