Josh Howard Segment

This is a chicken or the egg question. -- morons find microphones or -- microphones. Blind moron well I think more on line. Camera phones camera phones more. Today than ever which is fine with me but. I think in the case of Josh Howard -- a -- He C Josh Howard seemed loose Kenji -- can hang in. You know that it that's a ticking time yeah. And hopefully when he and -- stupid things he says that are on camera. On him like on and live in proponents of meetings. When he gets up for the speaks exactly hi I'm Josh emigrants what is at his book club shore and then in discussing. The latest. Book on the bridge club seller Eldridge ripped up yeah sure here's my question this is familiar. As a guy like this in the wake for public force was a respectable university.

Two more as -- Stanford and I actually yeah a Wake Forest should be very proud when they they should not -- I think the late skip Prosser recruited and I think it was one of those duster that -- just slip slip through and hope but I -- the class that we joke in this morning now do they don't ever enforced at Stanford do -- Stanford has one of those guys a year -- every school balance.

Really because this is is what he says he he initially didn't get in the Wake Forest. Because. They record in 950 a necessity -- He -- the score was somewhere in the five hundreds that you get the 400 forgetting your -- negative you know not like nations who spent so we spent a year -- military can mean I had a sixty -- at safety and after that somehow he got into where Wake Forest and -- today via demon deacons must -- so -- what I -- numbers -- Wake -- nineteen point nine points a game and ten rebounds a game -- I received -- Memphis or you know like. Kent or some things. That I always was an impression that we force was no way Duke via via the noticed I thought they had some standards.

Let's let's back this up just a bit if you haven't seen it where you've been. But will help PO Dallas forward. Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard nickname jail by the holes in his own bio that jail is ethnic. Back in July it was that and Allen Iverson charity event easily popped open a cellphone camera. And stuck at industry during the national anthem and making everybody Wake Forest round and everybody who is an NBA players everybody who is. African American everybody was American and everybody is as Eddie -- the sensibility. Looks at this says. What exactly were you -- Josh I'll take a listen its its its model audio will give the transcript when it's over. Expect that they'll look at it.

And the star spangled banner is going on right now I don't celebrate this bleak. I'm black. -- Bob 8. And all that Lee and all that bully Lama. And Greg got -- little out of the league bloom only.

A bomb oh yeah all that. Police believe Arnold Obama -- I don't I don't want to go Almonte I slogan let's -- I see above -- that bomb away and all that don't get don't just. Enamored with that portion just yet you're just to gloat about that just we know this does a guy that world -- forget that by mutual cheap shot and it's -- a cheap shot and forced them -- in the same sentence -- Donald -- indoors.

McKay last on Larry -- and -- and all that league. Trumps the tribesmen in the world if that can be debated. The politics which I don't I held his own eager kid debates. An -- So here's the most I'm going to give Josh Howard at this at this point the you you have the right to say that this is that Tiananmen square this isn't the the Olympics in China the system the blogs assistant. -- beer -- you have the right to say that and so no one is suggesting also people did by the way. The David stern called him in and say there's no place for that in the NBA were suspending you finding you we're going to lose at that.

It's a part of an eruption that they -- fine or suspend -- to David stern -- column in and say this is not what we want here under the sanction you for saying that which is absolutely ludicrous the -- it is America -- our first -- he has called my agent is goes without saying when you say yeah he has the right to say is -- one of those people who defend many no doubt I don't know visit the -- he has a right. -- the the rest of course -- around the -- one -- four before -- for all that -- should be fine ownership of said David urgent call me at a -- this is we're not going to permit this kind of thing sanction him. Only used the word final suspend fine whatever I generally think it goes without saying that you have the right Sammy even. Morons like Josh Howard -- in this country you're right ought to be more on yeah you're right -- a moron and he god knows -- exercise yet -- on a regular basis.

Big beyond that. This does mean it it speaks to the complete use your phrase shall shallow nests of -- play. That's double -- in his position think that. BP's. Put enough to say it in public and -- to sit back and wait for somebody like JA had Dundee on espn.com. To. Attempt to defend. But what it is the good guys set an attempt to defend now I will give JA had Don Davis there were some good points made. In the beginning of his piece on espn.com. Where it talks about the right to free speech to Mohammed well -- and John Carlos and Tommie Smith but but I agree with a release at least he's trying to make 8888. Complete and total examination. Of this issue. And then run at the end just it's time just it's time to wrap this baby up yes Howard Bryant moment. Those Jake O'Donnell on -- I guess in -- we moment know what's and that's and you. Current political friends now just kind of loses his way. Quote think about where Josh Howard ones when he made the statement. Allen Iverson charity flag football game which raises money for scholarships. To historically black colleges and universities. It's great that Iverson has organized this event but it shouldn't have to exist. If the ideals of equality in this country. Follow -- on what they always had always been met. There would not have been a need for historically black schools and students would need donations. To be able to attend them. Here's here's the line right just fell off the chair. So we are going to be mad at what Josh Howard said. We should be just as mad at the -- chain of events that led Josh Howard to beat you where he was when he said it. And we should do something about ending it. --

So Josh Howard didn't make any substantive. -- strike for anything you know I mean Obama or anything he didn't make. Well reasoned argument for something you know. Sitting down during the them. Like that stupid. Tony's Tony Smith yeah. She she made her case -- foolish -- case. But he hit it some thought we -- that -- some thought the skies Tuesday. Have big dole. -- Who who I think -- Oklahoma. Religious and they acknowledged nine point nine billion -- ten million a year. JJ IA -- it picabo -- well as he was out frolicking. On a football field. In the middle of summer. In the offseason. From his job he gets paid ten million dollars a year. And again he has the brains of bird and I mean she. This is the struggles of Josh Howard on the I tickets quietly I think it's -- just -- even include Tommy Smith and won most prominently and anyone who ever put any thought of anything. I mean this this is -- chips the cold here and to some.

I mean me points -- look as lawn and wants anything and so that is totally. But it comes on the heels of his July arrest for late night street race in North Carolina. -- David was so he's drag racing right Gregory success via Lastings admission that he has indicated. As well Ottawa does that charity event -- occasionally also had a birthday -- for himself. After the Mavericks last game for their playoff series against the Hornets in the Avery Johnson as the players to keep extracurricular activities to a minimum during the point got a more. That's exactly what you that you haven't moron here right that's what you have.

But here's the part that bugs me is Mark Cuban tomorrow. I don't think he has no mean no but he's an enabler whom beyond beyond an enabler mean this guy. Is -- Jocks significance huge. His problem is that Josh Howard wasn't smart enough to know that the cameras were on that someone was paper yeah this. He says.

We will go -- some advanced training communication skill sessions together this camp. I've explained to Josh itself so -- ambulance are not your friend yes. So that's probably right promised he would not discern not.

This idiot. Thinks that black people shouldn't stand for the anthem or that somehow in that same sentence he should endorse Obama. He's dumb enough to do from a cellphone -- Cuban doesn't have a problem with what Josh Howard says or thinks. Just that he does it. In front of the camera gets caught saying you know what Cuban wants to do is make sure that this idiot doesn't do in public again right.

Mark -- belief that the solution to this Josh Howard problem. Is for Josh to be able to discern the difference between a cellphone camera that is recording him. And just out of mobile and a club and senate the somebody's always Sosa -- going to sell.

Cuban doesn't have a problem with a guy I've taken because -- black I don't celebrate. This country this this land them. I don't is this. I don't celebrate this league I don't stand for it than I in fact the -- plan right now and right. I'm passing into the camera over here. It. Cuban who is. Another one of these move that left wing nuts by the way who. Who hired Dan rather who can HD net not only the cleaves is pool and hired him for the sultan can. Put colonies in the -- Busch guys and -- but still. You'd think he'd address the comments. That. The substance as it were of the come now or just how can you say that into the camera -- where no cameras we consider on -- Black people shouldn't they have for -- but. Don't -- wouldn't from the camp. And it's that's so composed.

What -- usual thing Josh Howard sat down and and gave some clear and well thought out processes to the oppressed. -- People who were being kept down by the man -- to follow up questions this was a social statement on his part he would he would research the unemployment numbers and the -- numbers in the profiling numbers all that sort of stuff -- the -- much.

into the though since I'm not a big Obama -- to debate among them in the election Indian. Campaign aren't you a little shocked that he was aware of the Obama's running. Yeah your right to -- and you're right. That is that is surprising. That we -- Obama away and all that -- always. Is typical argument yet from Obama supporter right there a -- away and all that -- Just what just --

Now. If indeed and and we were being sarcastic there hasn't given a lot of -- What compelled him to do that. Does he know who John Carlos is does he know -- did he know of Mohammed Ali's throw -- Olivia well I know knows who he has. But as you wear him out of his protest in history. At the Houston drafts and that day. My my my guess is not so my question is what would lead him to save that. Mark Cuban would say I don't care about what led him to say that it's the fact that he did notice opal wasn't his camera that aside Mark Cuban. What set of circumstances. Has oppressed. This man to go head in it and say this and think this was a good idea. -- an idea I don't I don't -- I'm asking.

I think it's justice who's in polls to be. Iconoclast this impulse to be a they it would be -- to be rebellious -- I'm not thinking on our batters said. I'm going to be like on class I -- the -- did not the word but -- instinct the -- to buck the system -- to be a rebel and and may Mavericks yeah maybe it's his some guys are on nine and TP one in some. That ass rapper guy that inspired him as opposed to being you know sinks them. -- soldier or some businessman. Awesome. Someone else out there who actually. You know has a brain in his head is actually made it in this country. That that person doesn't inspire him at some bad as -- I'm guessing yeah or maybe a base teammate put I don't know somebody put this idea in his head. That it ain't cool to stand looking at them or even acknowledge being the least turn his back talking the camera while the at this point correct.

You don't do that because he's black -- for me to tell Mark Cuban how to run his business or deal with his players. But I would suggest this would not be a lot more helpful this young man. That your paying ten million dollars a year to by the way. Not to understand the cellphone cameras aren't his friend. But to perhaps jump on your private plane mr. Cuban and fly to Walter Reed army -- normal -- and I take a walk through there.

Only black people serving on the front lines right now or in -- or read or in in the military so Josh Howard 89 point nine -- and die. Over the years I mean that that's a good point is there's plenty of lessons can be learned music in them many books in the mode Thomas -- book in the -- could. It past the contents. -- it has been a horse I mean sure wouldn't even crack you know it is. Sad. That the word for the assists advocates as a whole. Culture I think. The only young black. -- who thinks that somehow you know witnesses as it is Mitchell promises countries downright mean. -- If -- Jeremiah -- only. Authority figure. In the black community saying that America entry evil of course I mean maybe he sat in the Church somewhere and listen to and other Jeremiah Wright's say. That we deserve 9/11 and America created aids. This is this this is the -- perhaps. God forbid our next president listened to that bile for twenty years. The precedent the president and he sat for twenty years and listen to somebody preach. The evils I mean it's it's -- Garbage but. Listen to a man preached that this country is evil and mean. And beyond that mean he could debate that created aids as a way to. This is step two in genocide against young black man so maybe Josh Howard.

Be listened to. Jeremiah --

Was all over the news -- a you know a day or two. Maybe there was somebody out there and authority figure out on the that you preach that same garbage to Josh Howard.
