It's awfully high and mighty of Suns fans to suggest that we move on and stop talking about it as soon as the conversation stops going their way, only to bring it up again later whenever it suits them.

Fuck the Suns, fuck their fans. They can whine to the fucking fish about it all summer long. They'll have to go to the grocery store to find fish because the largest body of water in the state is a hazard on the 12th hole.

Exactly what's the question?

I am not getting in this debate again. I said everything I was going to say on this subject. Check my posts on this in the threads about the suspensions bitch.

Fuck you. Keep your politics to yourself, or post them in the right forum.

Anything coming out of Phoenix, written in that tone, would have 99% of this board complaining and many sending emails to the writer of such a peace (remeber the Denver idiot?)

same thing i was thinking.


trash talk by writers at the end of the day is still trash talking, no matter what team they representing.

Fuck you. It's a chickenshit revisionist opinion. It's not a political observation.

That was a devastating article. I don't think he'll be wandering the streets of Phoenix at night anytime soon. :lol

Damn, I hope this doesn't bite him in the ass!

You never got into it in the first place, you just wanted to troll and try to get the league to break the rules for your players.

This and all the email responses are great. Specially the coffee one, we need to frame it.

You know darn well what the question is.
Just go back hrough this thread and read, you'll find it....if you want to answer it, fine, if not fine, but I am done with it.

that article was disguisting.

Kinda weak. There's no point making fun of Phoenix itself (I live there) because it's actually a pretty decent city. How are you going to call the fastest growing city in the US a wasteland....? Lots of jobs, lots of wealth, all the major sports, (well...the Cardinals might not count)... however, I listen to the radio shows and it's pretty embarrassing how much they are whining. The last straw was last night, Robert Sarver on one of the shows and whining. I can't handle billionaires complaining and whining. As the Hopkins character said in The Edge "never feel sorry for a man who owns a plane."

Why do you think that the Suns shouldn't have to play by the exact same rules as everyone else in the NBA over the last ten years?

San Antonio and Phoenix both are two of America's fastest growing cities. Speaking for San Antonio, its economy has really diversified over the past several years and so many out of staters are moving here for the excellent quality of life. I'm sure Phoenix is a nice city as well.

fuck feenix that piece of shit hellhole it smells worse than my litterbox after chinese.

Zero State Income Tax :toast

I have never been to Phoenix, so talking about the city would be stupid.
All I know it is hot and dry most of the year, being in a desert and all. One of the oldest cities on earth is in a desert (Cairo).
BTW, is the Salt river the main river going through the city?

"the truth hurts, like a forehead to the nose."

goddamn, that is poetic :clap

Because nobody should've had to abide by that ludicrous rule, whether it was the 1997 Knicks or whether it was the 2007 Suns. I think that it would be foolish to enforce a blatantly unfair rule, just because you wrongly enforced that same blatantly unfair rule to others.

I'll be downright shocked if anyone in the national media says anything of the kind. The truth is that there aren't nearly as many people watching this series as there are people who pretend they are watching this series. That the most clever and well-written of the smack articles over the last few years was written by someone that doesn't work for a newspaper is almost sad.

But they did, and they lived with it, and they accepted the punishment. They never took the rule out of the rulebook, so the competition committee, and the board of governors, both of which Jerry Colangelo has long been both member or chairman, considered it neither ludicrous nor blatantly unfair. The rule is sill there. Colangelo too busy working to get the rules changed to help offensive players.

So why do you want the rule that has applied to everyone else over the last dozen years to suddenly not apply to your team?

Yeah, you're right. It's a dumb rule and there's no purpose for it. :rolleyes
