    Like she has for as long as I can remember. Why she is on television, I have no idea.

    I've heard Cheryl Miller is a bitch; this video proves it. Wow.

    much like my high school girlfriend, that was an odd, odd little piece.

    Scot Pollard just confirmed why he is a legend of basketball and humanity to me, my brother, and two of my cousins.

    Cheryl Miller? I didn't know Reggie Miller had a sister?

    That was the most uncomfortable, most unprofessional piece of television I've ever seen. Cheryl Miller should be fired, along with that asshole of a host.

    As Cheryl liked to say in the piece, "ballers around the world." Hey ballers now know she's a no-talent loser. Just get her off TV. What does she add to anything? Great, you were a fine player like 20 years ago. Now go away. Far away. Please.

    All three of them, along with the director, should be suspended. There's no way anyone should have been a part of that, and there's no way it should have run for four minutes -- over the span of a game. Most anyone thinking about signing up for the network won't do it now, at least not for the analysis.

    No one cares about your ring, Pollard, whether you earned it or not. And there's no excuse for Miller to call out her coworkers and employers on air, in front of -- for arguments sake -- several thousands of people. The host egged them on for a bit and didn't try to veer the conversation toward whatever game they were suppose to analyze, at least no honest try. He was too busy giggling over the childish squabble. The director, well, that's his or her baby. The director's got to cut to a break and do it quickly. They've got to have a back-up plan, a highlight package with audio, for some emergency situation. This is the time to use it.

    No one is innocent here. It's not just Miller's problem, though she'll probably take much of the fall -- if there is one.

    They're trying to catch Charles Barkley in a bottle (no pun intended). Plus, if you've ever watched NBATV programming, time-killing skills are at a premium. There are guest analysts who are far less entertaining killing far more time.

    Exactly, they're trying to get that thing Barkley has going with TNT. I actually thought Pollard was pretty fucking funny and made her look like a fool.

    Cheryl is very quick to anger, from what I've seen on site at some of her sideline gigs.

    In fact, I'm not sure who would win, Cheryl vs. Doyel.
