"Paul Shirley, whose brief NBA career included 18 games and 33 points with three teams over three seasons, is not in the giving mood."

Fuck, I've seen water boys with better stats.

"In a brief statement announcing the firing, the cable sports giant wrote: "The views he expressed on another site of course do not at all reflect our company's views on the Haiti relief efforts. He will no longer contribute to ESPN."

Back to the bench, asshole.

Yeah but it wasn't a dying industry till the trade agreement.

And beyond that... the other large part of the problem is...

The city of detroit and therefor Wayne county is full of corrupt thug bullshit! The largest being the infamous Kwame Kilpatrick. Trust me I know cause I live in Wayne county and Detroit has dragged down the county for decades!! As far as I'm concerned when they elected that thug POS KK guy... they got what they deserve!

Exactly!! Fuck Haiti!! if they aren't willing to help themselves then they deserve whatever comes their way.

Dear Haitians –

First of all, kudos on developing the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Your commitment to human rights, infrastructure, and birth control should be applauded.

As we prepare to assist you in this difficult time, a polite request: If it's possible, could you not re-build your island home in the image of its predecessor? Could you not resort to the creation of flimsy shanty- and shack-towns? And could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?

Sincerely,

The Rest of the World


Sounds like a cheap bit from the Jim Rome show.

Could be him trying to advance his own career too. At least now people know who he is.

Could be, since his original career choice didn't go so well.

Cause a little controversey, and piss people off by speaking your mind, someone will hire you.
