Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

This happened about a week ago in our country. Wynne Arboleda, a disciple of Ron Artest's school of thuggery and douchebaggery, has been suspended by our local pro league for the entire season. The man he assaulted is filing charges which include a lifetime ban for Arboleda from playing in the pros.

Here's a little backstory to it, but bottomline, Arboleda and his team were acting like complete thugs the entire game.

Thug. I hope he really is suspended for life.

Then again, Cantona’s still the normative example we will measure these guys against till the end of time – not Artest.

The looks on the fans are priceless.

So this is what it's come to.
GOL as in jrw or GOL as in score?

Hilarious.

I can’t believe I didn’t even think about the other GOL, ahh, thinking.

hahahaha I love Cantona. You can’t really blame a guy kicking a hooligan. you know they’re banned from world cup games. The little girl on the right is so happy GOL.
all kidding aside, thuggery should never be tolerated no matter how good a player is. Are you listening RON?

The announcers went to the Joe Buck School of Announcing. Just no emotion or surprise in anything they said.

“That was completely uncalled for”

Uhhhh… YEAH!

Things I love about this video

a) The announcers are talking about how he’d be suspended AS he’s attacking the fan.
b) The refs are so afraid of Arboleda, that they essentially stand there as he assaults the guy.
c) Announcer at 2:00 “And the guy was just protecting himself by just holding his fist up to his face.”
d) Patricia Hizon reporting: “…players do have emotions as well…”

A Filipino reporter calling the 2005 Finals quipped, “This is the first time Detroit lost to a Western Conference team in the playoffs.” Duh.

Actually, the in their first trip to the Finals (1988) the Pistons barely lost to the Lakers in seven games.

I saw that one. I thought the ref had died but I guess I just remembered it wrong.

That was one CRUCIAL punch to the jaw.

by Rich Town on Oct 20, 2009 12:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

Heh, I think that happened here.

One of the comments is pretty funny: “A year later I played against that guy in an amateur league. He seemed pretty respectful. Heh.”

Did the ref have any recurring health issues? What happened with the civil suit?

His chances for making it into the Spurs roster have been greatly reduced.
