    And skipping out on team meetings.

    And showing up to camp out of shape.

    And taunting opposing players in the media in the off-season.

    And being, by many accounts, a total jerk most of the time.

    And compounding the mistake by trying to jump into the stands to fight with a fan.

    After what happened last night, before I knew about all of this other stuff, it was pretty clear that this guy has much bigger issues than "one snap of patience."
    I am shocked at your lack of compassion for this dedicated student-athlete. After all, how many of us have never made a complete ass of ourselves on national TV after losing a football game?

    "God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."

      I made an ass of myself after winning a game once.

      I stormed the field when BYU beat Utah State in '97.

        I don't know...the BSU fans did a nice job of making asses out of themselves in reaction to him with all their posturing and whatnot.

        Reminds me of the malice at the palace when the youngish guy was taunting Artest until he realized he could actually get hurt through his stupidity.

        Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
