    I'm not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill ,but it says here that Steve Francis played in Allen Iverson's charity softball game. http://msn.espn.go.com/nba/news/2002/0720/1408172.html I cant fault the guy for wanting to play but if he's still recovering from surgery then he's putting himself at risk. I hope he was just there for support of Iverson.

    I cant imagine any rational person being within a mile of anything to do with Iverson. Especially if he is concerned about his standing and reputation in the NBA and our community! Francis you can do better than that!

    "Rational" you say...
    How about Francis gave his word that he would be at a benefit to help the children and he showed up to keep his promise!
    AND whats wrong with being at a benefit if Iverson is there now? Isn't this country still founded on "innocent before proven guilty" or is that not "rational" either!!!
    Don't get me started!:D

    Softball + injured shoulder = bad combination.

    Unfortunately, I know from experience. :( :( :( :( :(

    I hope Steve doesn't hurt himself.

    I don't think Steve would have played if he hadn't been cleared by Keith Jones. We should feel good about the fact that his shoulder is at the point where he can swing a bat. By the way, Jeff Bagwell had the exact same injury and he can still swing a bat, it's throwing the ball that hurts him.

    Just a guess... A couple of tripples, a few steals and too many turnovers.

    Isn't sex more dangerous to a shoulder injury than softball? Lifting those girls and swinging them around is certainly more work than swinging a Louisville Slugger, even with a donut on it.

    Anyone know if Francis has been having sex lately or whether Keith Jones has cleared him to have sex, yet.

    "There are quite a few members of this world wide web electronic bulletin board system who enjoy complaining about things. I would advise you to stop saying negative things about the player nicknamed "Franchise," and instead say positive things about the new acquisition from China who seems to be a favorite of many here."

    Franchise Rules :- In no way was I saying he was guilty of anything!!! I think that A.I. is not a very savoury person to be associated with under any circumstances and I have had that opinion for several years!!!!!!!! If you want further information please E Mail me! P.S. The Rox would never have him on our team!
