...paraphrasing Eric, from this week's episode of Vampire P*rn, "Don't talk about things that you don't understand." In this case, the subject to which you are clueless is sports.
Your attempts to attack Nick Collison for not enjoying Oklahoma's summertime weather compared to Washington's are pathetic and transparent. The only reason that I'm not going to call it out for what it TRULY is, is because then people might say the same thing about my writing this to you in hopes that one of your "handlers" shows it to you and that it awakens you to a world of which your presence has been deprived... the world of common sense.
(You are making a transparent to attach some controversy to yourself by going after someone with a larger name than you. I have no such aspirations, but, if you want to say that that is the case, feel free. It'll be like your radio show. You put a lot of words in people's mouths on there, too... when you're not trying to yell over them, and actually let the smart people talk for a bit...)
Nick Collison ranked in the Top 25 in the whole NBA in rebounding rate, which measures the percentage of available rebounds that a player gets during their time on the floor, and is much more reliable than simply looking at rebounding numbers... in fact, Collison's rebounding rate was higher than Chris Bosh's, Lamar Odom's, Pau Gasol's, Nene's, Ben Wallace; who all he DOES is rebound, and LaMarcus Aldridge. That's not exactly poor company to be looking down upon.
Nick Collison represents the kind of selflessness that you rarely, if ever, find in a professional athlete anymore. Granted, being a professional athlete isn't something you'd know a lot about.. but more than I, I suppose. Ironic, isn't it, that I'm the one that seems to have a better idea of what is right and wrong than you do, though? Not really.. See, it works like this:
Being a professional athlete, past, present, or future, in NO way qualifies you to make profound moral or professional judgements on others. If you have other qualifications, like a license to practice psychiatry, then perhaps you have an argument. Otherwise, you don't. You are no more morally sound than the next guy that talks about Jesus on the radio and beer at the poker table. I'm not even attacking you for it. Personally, I admire your ability to mire comfortably in your level of hypocrisy. Most people would have drowned right now.
But that'll never happen in Oklahoma. It's a "dry heat," here, you see...?
Going after someone relevant will not make you relevant, and if you run off our only good rebounder because you thought you were on some kind of holy crusade to protect the sanctity of the State of Oklahoma in lieu of the right of free speech in the United States of America, then maybe you can drag your fat *ss out there and grab us seven boards a game for your career. Use those "skills" that you mentioned when you were talking about being able to beat Stacey Dales in a game of one-on-one... another blatant, and blatantly transparent publicity stunt.
You're not a reporter, Jim, you're a stuntman... kinda like the fat kid that would eat anything for a dollar. But we're not that, so stop trying to force-feed Oklahoma City and the entire state your crap!
