Mavs' Josh Howard: Allergic to good PR

[Football_Bat]

You've got to be kidding me.

"The Star Spangled Banner's going on right now and I don't celebrate that s***. I'm black."

 

[PeteyPirate]

He was probably just high.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Well, no wonder George Bush hates black people.

 

[Football_Bat]

Ron Artest would've been an upgrade had Cuban been willing to pull the trigger on that deal.

UPGRADE!

Just as an aside, in my six years as a sportswriter, Josh Howard was among my favorite guys to talk to. Not terribly interesting, but just a genuine, humble person.

Nice endorsement pickup for Obama, though.

Wow... just... wow

I think he was fooling around. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I think he was fooling around. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I think he's just a moron.

 

[Freelance Hack]

I hear there's an over-the-counter remedy for that allergy.

 

[D-3 Fan]

Howard makes Cuban sound like Albert Einstein.

Just because you spend 4 years in college, it doesn't necessarily equate to being smart when you open up your mouth.

The irony is that, IIRC, Wake got beat in the first round to either Navy or Air Force (one of the military schools), after he popped off about the pending invasion of Iraq in '03. He looked like **** in that first round game.

Good player, but not the brightest bulb in the world, despite a Wake Forest education.

Well, no wonder George Bush hates black people.

We have a winner.

 

[Hammer Pants]

Come on, guys. Cut Josh Howard some slack. He went to a really subpar academic institution.

 

[User 1019]

What an idiot.

 

[Chef]

Josh Howard is one of the stupidest people on the planet.

 

[Sammi]

Auburn beat Wake in 2nd round after Howard was quoted in the local paper on the war effort.

 

[slappy4428]

I think he was fooling around. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I think he's just a moron.

Well, that too.

 

[dargan]

Higher Wake alum IQ? Josh Howard or Tim Duncan?

 

[KYSportsWriter]

Is neither an option?

 

[KevinmH9]

Howard is an idiot. Did he really think this wasn't going to get spread all over the internet and picked up by tabloids, ESPN and other news websites. Mark Cuban is probably going to have a ****ing field day with this guy.

We've yet to hear anything from teammates.
