Just an amazing piece on Neal.
I wanted to like the piece, but it bothers me that his response to the question of the sex was - "I didn't do anything wrong." Whether it was illegal or not, it definitely was wrong. He took no responsibility for his behavior or his choices on that night.
His wife is cute. What an incredible story. The way I look at it is the same with Blair. Blair got passed by a lot of teams because of knee problems, when in reality there's no knee problems, he just doesn't have them. Gary Neal didn't get any looks because of off the court issue, but the truth is there are none. Dude is a class act and ice cold shooter. Glad he's a Spur. If he was anywhere else we would hate him haha, he'd be killing us.
It's wrong to have consensual sex? I had no idea.
He was acquitted. Get over it and Neal with it.
A woman that drunk can not consent by law. It is wrong to have sex with a girl so drunk she is puking.It's wrong to have consensual sex? I had no idea.

Obviously you haven't nealt with it yet.
I'm sorry but I don't understand. Assuming that the sex was consensual (and if I remember right that was the court's verdict), what was wrong?
oh gtfo.
OK just saw your answer above,
Not trying to defend Neal, I disagree about her not being able to make decisions just because she was vomiting. I've seen drunken women coming on to men, when they probably shouldn't have. I'm also sure the alcohol played a role in their boldness, and most probably some regretted it the day after. But they usually knew what they were doing at that moment.
Was the whole thing in bad taste? Sure. Wrong? Well based on the verdict - no.
Great piece. Thanks for posting
Don't give a about his personal life, only his life on the court.
Isn't that like saying you can't convict anyone for DUI if they were really, really wasted? You are still responsible for your actions, even while drunk.
Yup, either that or issue all men breathalyzers. Blow into the..... err, tube.
Great piece
Wha Tha??? Are you some kind of weirdo Holy Roller Talking In Tongues TV Evangelist? Who the are you to judge another person's sex/private life. It was proven in court that it was not rape! You are one strange dude or dudette.
Thanks for the link. Great piece even though we have a couple of holier than thou, pompous, self-righteous, condescending, arrogant, high-handed, imperious, haughty, supercilious, insolent, egotistical, judgemental Holy Rollers that post here.
First of all, I did like the piece on Neal. In fact, he overcame the situation is a testament to his work ethic and great belief in himself. Also, being in the right place at the right time as well.Wha Tha??? Are you some kind of weirdo Holy Roller Talking In Tongues TV Evangelist?

Now, I find it funny when people write who are you to judge someone's sex life or personal life...etc. I do agree with Ploto what he did was wrong, whether it was illegal or not. However, people do wrong things all the time and deserve another chance.
Just like it someone kills another person....that person should be judge for his actions and accept responsibility for those actions.
Unfortunately, people in our society feel like they can do whatever they want and not suffer any consequences for their actions. At the same time, it doesn't meant that person's life (who did the wrong action) is over (and held over them forever) and redemption is always there for them.
And the fact....that you called someone self-righteous or religious holy roller tv evangelist shows you missed the true teachings of Christianity( where you believe it or not) about everyone deserves grace and mercy no matter what they've done. But, still can be judge for their actions as well.
Finally, I'm glad for Gary Neal for overcoming a dark situation in his life and deserves the recognition he is getting.
Ploto,
I believe you have to be very careful and in saying someone hasn't taken responsibility for their actions.
Gary may have taken responsibility for his actions privately and has a right to say he didn't anything wrong.
I do agree with you that his actions was wrong. But, everyone deserves a chance at redemption and to move on with their lives.
Moreover, people can do things wrong and we are allow to judge their actions and don't have to condemn them as human beings.
Unfortunately, our current society thinks if someone is judging their actions, then we are condemning them as a person. That's not true.
It's a fine line we have to walk....but we must do it anyway.
@ "You think I'm better than Manu Ginobili?" Great answer to a baited question.
...and I thought you were on, ahem, honeymoon hiatus?
That was a good vid... thanks for posting since I missed it.
