I saw Portland is not going to pick up Greg Oden's potion and Oden will become a RFA next season. If HEALTHY would any of you guys want to take a shot with him?

[Corey]

Sure but we don't have anything more than the MLE to give him.

Someone will most definitely be able to give him more, especially if he finishes the season strong.

[letsgobrownies7]

So are the Pats going to get moss back since Minny (Childress) is dumb and waived him?

[Corey]

We'll find out today!


I just had to ban Nighthawk

Did anyone else hear that KG said that Charlie Villanaeuva looked like a cancer paitent.

[Corey]

Yea, I'll make the thread since someone else will eventually make it anyways.

Here was my response to what he said:

Here's the deal.

What he said was highly offensive, completely ignorant, and just plain rude. There's no reason to say what he did, regardless of circumstance.

Villanueva should never have tweeted anything, however. Anyone here that has ever even played high school sports knows the amount of trash talk that goes on between teams. It happens in the heat of competition, where you'll take any edge you can get. It also stays on the field/court when the competition is over.

Garnett should issue a public apology for his alleged statement, but it should never have been made public in the first place.

Furthermore, while I agree it's highly offensive and wrong...Who's to draw the line on what's good or bad? Mom jokes? Gay jokes? Race jokes? All of them could be taken as offensive depending on the context, so who is the official judge of what's right, wrong, offensive, or allowed?

It's a really large grey area. I lost a little bit of respect for KG for saying it, but I also lost respect for Charlie V for not handling it like a man and going to KG and telling him to 'shut the **** up, that's offensive'. The fact that he had to go through the media to trash someone for something that was said in a competition when emotions are at their highest? Come on now.

[letsgobrownies7]

Good post. For all we know KG could have been just messing With Charlie and he took it offensive and decided to tweet it to make KG look like a douche. I bet Charlie was upset cause his Pistons blow and the Celtics easily blew them out at home.

[Corey]

Yea, and we don't know what was said from Charlie's side, either. Everyone talks trash in games, and KG is the king of it...But he doesn't single people out and get THAT personal for no reason. I'm sure they were chirping at each other the whole game, and KG just took it a step too far.
