Marble Slab & Jermaine O’Neal

I was at Marble Slab the other day & discovered yet another combo that works out well (for me, that is). Granola & pecans w/ sweet cream (my standard flavor). Oh man. Sweet cream is to die for, man. I know I probably get ripped off every time I pay 4 bucks for a flavor that costs around 5 cents to make, but whatevs! It’s only money, right?

Now, on to the NBA & the greatest fan-beatdown in sports history. I was listening to Jim Rome a few Fridays ago (a little old, I know) and he had on Jermaine O’neal from the Indiana Pacers. If some of you live under a rock or possibly in Iraq or Afghanistan, then JO was one of the guys who got into that brawl in D-Town a while back. Actually, he was the dude who ran across the court to punch out some bastard who was asking for an ass-kicking. In Jermainne’s words, he was protecting his team & it all happened in the heat of the moment. Very understandable.

From the interview, it sounds like Jermaine is just a damn nice guy who was caught up in a really bad situation. Who the hell can blame him? There were 1000s of fans against 12 or so players, for God’s sake. Jermaine & the others are merely being tagged by the bastard-media as violent black men, who listen to gangsta rap, carry around guns & do cocaine on their spare time (and not to mention, sleep with scandalous, housekeeping whores in Kobe’s case). It’s all bullshit, I tell you (except for Kobe—that bastard).
