Holt saying to players that they "haven't felt enough pain" also hurt Spurs image of being a good franchise. Holt being a hardliner owner could be understandable but this kind of talk is inexcusable when there are so much at stakes with the lockout.
That's what I was thinking.
Anyway, the Spurs are hypocrites if they don't do something about it. I don't care if he's one of the best GMs in the league -- they supposedly have standards for people in the organization. Having an open container in the car and driving drunk is an embarrassment -- blood sugar issues aside. Really...who drives with an open container?

So the Spurs are hypocrites then. Replacing RC went out the window once they let Presti walk to Seattle.
We never replaced Presti, tbh...
I didn't say they should replace him. I just don't think brushing it over with a low blood sugar excuse is the way to go either.
Hanging him upside-down naked during the rodeo so people can throw beer bottles at him would be a good first step...
They need to do something akin to fining him with the money going to whatever alcohol awareness charity and many hours of community service (he has plenty of time to get this done also right now anyway)
There is nothing wrong with that statement, IMHO because it is the truth. Stupid to say it but not something that should reflect in any way on the Spurs.

Your GM drunk as a skunk
Can't even get your gossip right.
This is what happens in the lockout. GM's can't rely on rookies to drive them around after a few drinks
Anyway I agree with ya. Imo the Spurs will probably keep the punishment internal and I wouldn't be surprised if Buford got fined or some and has to do more community stuff, basically what Das Texan said. Disappointing stuff from Buford.
lol spurs
Call me old fashioned, but I'm more in favor of punishment of the good old days, tar and feathers.
Spurs are a classy organization, but you have to understand context and value. Even though they are considered a classy organization by professional sports standards, it's only because this is an area of the business world that is marred by pretty s my people in general. So even though they are classy in the professional sports world, they still have their fair share of dirt.
Also, they do have a set of standards, but in this league where it's a fine line between who makes it or not, if you are one of those "cusp" guys, you don't get to make these types of mistakes. If you are the elite, you get a little more freedom and that's not hypocritical to me.

I can't see any other kind of punishment they could really deliver. They could give a monetary fine, but that would just be looked at as a slap on the wrist by everyone. You can't suspend the GM for 5-10 games like you could a player who does something equally stupid. The blood sugar excuse was hilarious; how could anyone ever say that to the press with a straight face when RC was busted with an open container?
Not for a couple years. You guys are in a tailspin:::
Neal raped
The Longorias wife swapped
Your GM is a drunk driver
It's weird though, huh. The shoe is on the other foot now. Everything we did, your team has now done:::
Buss drove drunk...check
Kobe raped...check
Me & Kevin wife swapped...check
DWI is not cool ...many innocent people are victims to dumbasses that DWU ...but he didnt kill anyone. hopefully he learned his lesson. if he does not ...I hope he gets caught next time and does time. But as it stands, all he did was embarass himself his close family and his franchise a little bit. No biggie.
You forgot Kermit Washington turning a guy's face into a catcher's mitt. Spurs still have the class advantage by a mile.It's weird though, huh. The shoe is on the other foot now. Everything we did, your team has now done:::

Wasn't Holt in and out of rehab a couple of years ago for alcoholism?
I'd bring up the Robinson Fiasco, but, I won't kick ya when you're so down, Bum. You deserve a break, sweetheart.
Pappy says so.
Watch it ^
^You & Aunt Kori are quite a relative tandem.
