Man, one tidbit from that O-Live blurb I linked that I don't think I ever remember hearing (incredible, though it makes sense):
His release gives the Blazers a roster without any player who has been suspended or disciplined by the team or the NBA, the first time that has been the case in at least 15 years.

I guess it's not really that weird (I mean, even K*be got suspended for hitting Mr. Adriana Lima in the face, so I guess you could say the L*kers had a streak like that), so chalk it up to "Oregonian reporting".

(Edit: I guess I missed where Lima and Jaric split up after 5 years of marriage.)

Looking back at one of the bbf threads at the time of the incident, you mentioned that a "little birdie that might have been there at the time of the incident" told you that Miles went off on Cheeks after being singled out for a defensive lapse. would it be safe to assume that same avian informant clued you in as to the nature of the epithets used? That is to say, that you might actually have a less speculative take on this than the rest of us?

Yes. The good old days when some of us had direct knowledge of things via direct sources

Look, just like the NFL was talking about players trading the N word and being penalized for it.

They're using the A version and if you think Miles used the ER version, you're wrong.

Being suspended for it means nothing.

You really are off base here. He used several slurs including er and a certain relative named Thomas, among others. Was suspended by the team and apologized for it.

I don't believe for one second he used a hard R.
 
From 2 people that were there

He called him a dumb n****r, among other things.

You went off on a poster for no reason.
 
This shit is just weird. You guys are actually arguing about this? I suppose it's good for the site- post counts, and hits and such. I don't know. Guess I would just expect stuff like this to be in the OT area.

And what's gotten into you, MM??? You used to be so negative, and stir shit up with your posts. Now you're being rational, and backing another member??? :MARIS61: (disreguarding who is actually right or wrong here. That doesn't matter.) That's cool of you. Seriously.

BTW- There's NO disrespect here ment for you dviss, or el pres.... :cheers:


Obviously, things have changed some around here. Lol

I'm about to do that very thing, actually. lol.

At one point this was a really viable article about a former blazer. I'll see if it goes back to that.
 
Its an article he wrote himself. Of course he's going to paint himself (i'm betting he still had a ghostwriter do it) in the best possible light. Still doesn't change the fact that he was really bad all around for the franchise when he was here.

Dviss you weren't there. You don't know Miles personally. At the very least stop acting like you saw what happened with your own eyes.

Also, are you telling me that you have never heard of one black person call another black person an Uncle Tom "Hard R"?
