Being Jewish was enough to get me beat up on the playground by the children and their parents (or other adults) burn a cross on my lawn as a child in the 90s. Should my parents be chastised for choosing to having children while *gasp* daring to be Jewish?

He's doing it for attention. His career was likely pretty much over(he's 34 and has averaged 3.6 ppg,really a nobody). Now he will get a book deal and maybe a show. Hell,maybe he will supplant Reggie Love as Obama's bodyman.

Will they crack that nut before they figure out what is wrong with you?

"Miswire." You're another C-D genius.

You will notice, kids, the strong correlation between genius and hatred of gays, blacks and so on. A family with whom I was friends had four kids. One was extremely smart, one was smart another was average and the oldest was below average. Guess which ones were the most tolerant and which one sounded like Tilt? I see we now have data that seems to validate this hypothesis.

They thought something was amiss when they found out he was listening to Liza Minelli and Judy Garland pre-game.

Oh, yeh, for sure. ESPN is done because its only there for sports.

Here's what I wonder. Do they now provide a separate shower room for the gay player?

There is no need for a separate shower room.

Yup Obama just called him, Stephonopolous will be interviewing him, book deal will be rushed out. I heard one marketing guy salivating over the marketing opportunities.
