The Fight!

So now that everyone on the planet has seen the fight in Detroit 50 times on ESPN and every other network, I have a couple of comments....

First, you want a "OH SHIT" moment? How about the guy that Artest went after.....He went from cheer what was going on to a face that showed sheer horror. I mean how would you like a 6"5 black guy coming right at you throwing hay makers......OH FUCK!!!

Second, he wasn't even the guy that threw the cup of "beer"...Ok people how many of you put ice in beer....Let call it as it is...It was soda. Then he got it there on target, what are the chances? Then to top it off it was full! Nice job dude!

Third, the sheer comic value of Jermain O'Neal sliding like he was on ice trying to throw a punch at the dude in the overstuffing Pistons jersey.....Nice...Very nice.

I would like to know one thing...How come we didn't see any Pistons players in the brawl....Is it because they thought..."Hey there is no way I am getting involved in that!"....Now why can't the Pacers players think the same thing. Artest is a freak....Oh and did anyone notice that he changed his jersey number from last year to this year to 91? Yes Rodmans old number...He should have been suspended just for that!

so for your Mastercard moment:

Going to a pistons game in the 4th row?.........$150.00

food and drink?.............$75

purchasing program and the foam #1?............$55

Getting your ass kicked by a player for no reason and suing him for everything he is worth?..........Priceless

Artest has an elevator that doesn't go to the top floor. The whole Detroit incident really boiled down to the shot of a lifetime. First, what are the odds that an asshole player from a visiting team will lay down on the scoring bench. Then what are the odds that someone can take a beverage (I'll take your word that it was soda), throw it high in the air as a lob shot and have it come down square on the asshole. To me that was the "shot of a lifetime". It will earn the wrong guy that Artest attacked a kings ransom. Like you say, priceless. Just imagine if the lob shot has missed. There would not have been an incident and ESPN would have been scrambling for something report about. They would have had to show Maria Sharapova winning the tennis ATP tournament against a hobbled Serena Williams.

The publicity for the NBA is also priceless. Every thug in the country is going to attend an NBA game looking for action. Attendance will increase. Marketing 101.

Who is your daddy?
