Bynum's vs LBJ's Apology

Both apologies seem to be a bit late, with LBJ's coming about 10 months late.

Bynum apologized after they were eliminated while LBJ's came in a series win. I think apologizing after beating his nemesis is a whole lot easier to do.

I do think it takes a lot for both of them to come out and apologize and it shows a lot of maturity. But if I had to choose which one I thought was more sincere, I would say Andrew Bynum's was.

For some reason Id rather take LBJ's apology, I know how late it is, but I do feel some sincerity in there.

Had Bynum not gave that shitty interview after the game showing zero remorse for what he did, and then days later issuing an apology, to me is bullshit. I don't buy it, but I don't need to buy it. Still think 5 games isn't enough, but it is what it is. I still think hes a piece of poo.

Well he obviously felt like he had to apologize. And I am sure there were people advising him to do so. He realized how he left Cleveland wasn't the best way to do it. I don't think many people would argue that.

I just think the timing of it was a little off and very convenient to do when he had just won one his biggest series of his career.

I'll be the first one to say I hated the way LeBron went about the whole thing, I thought it was a horrible way to treat his fans and the city. HOWEVER...

You can't even compare these two events.

One was a man, deciding what HE thought was the best route in his career. Hate it or love it, it's his life, and no one was really hurt.

Bynum however, is a thug. He's done this numerous times before to players, and is a outright just dirty player. He even did the typical "thug" action with the shirt removal and all of that crap. So no, I don't believe his apology, but time will tell if he acts like a jerk again. Five games, even though it's 700k, is not enough. I seriously think that when a player does something like this, the first time, it should be a year, again, permanent. People that use a performance enhancer get more suspension in sports it seems, while that IS cheating, it's different than some 7 foot guy taking someone down.

Two different situations.

I'm not condoning what Bynum did but the Mavs weren't winning with the most class and basketball believe it or not is a physical game sometimes. Anyone saying Bynum should be suspended for a year for this is either....

A. A Laker hater

or

B. Asinine....

First, no one is a 'Laker Hater' secondly, that was an intentional hit out of frustration just because the little b*tch wasn't winning? He wouldn't dare hit Lebron or someone his own size like that.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.
