    Awesome. Keith gets an early birthday present.

    Oh, and to hell with the Pistons.

    Here we go again. Criticizing Rasheed Wallace = racism.

    ::) ::) ::)

    I'm not saying that, Starman. Personally, I think his on-court antics and temper hurt his team far too often. And he doesn't always play his hardest. But I've seen several players — black and white — do the same thing.

    That column gives bloggers a bad name. What? That was in an APSE-honored newspaper?

    There's a lot of bad stuff in the Sentinel lately. You should have read Sunday's game story from The Players Championship. It's a toss-up as to which was worse, the writer who created the trash or an editor who let it run.

    I was gonna say that I presume someone edited Jerry Greene's column before it ran. I blame whoever that was. I also would guess that someone might have suggested that idea to Jerry.

    It's hard to be funny without a safety net.

    I went and read the gamer. We talking about the same one? Because it was okay.

    I guess I'm coming to this one late. It sounds like McCosky has a good read on the radio guy. For the record, I haven't listened to any Orlando sports radio. I can't get it, and I only live about 20-25 miles from Orlando. I used to listen to ESPN-Chicago from 200 miles away. I don't understand it.

    Secondly, it's too bad McCosky generalizes and bad-mouths the whole of Florida sports radio people. That's unfair, and it paints him in a bad light.

    Lastly, why exactly did he think it necessary to blow it out of proportion? So you had to deal with an idiot. Fine. It happens. It happened me to me when I was 10. My parents taught me to brush it off and move on. It's called maturity. It's called grace. By lashing back, this guy stooped to the level of the guy he called out.
