David Stern asks Jim Rome if he still beats his wife

Can't say I'm a fan of either guy, but talk about a low blow. Kudos to Rome for keeping his cool after that kind of comment. How great would it be if Stephen A. Smith turned around and asked him the same question about the fix.

Yeah, the funniest part of the video was definitely when Stern implied that Stephen A. Smith was the paragon of journalism.

You guys do realize David Stern wasnt actually accusing Jim Rome of beating his wife, right? Its an expression that is used as a common example of a loaded question- basically David Stern was accusing Rome of asking him a loaded question. Though to be honest Rome's question wasnt really a loaded question so much as a Jim Rome being a dick.

His goal was to piss off Stern (he was never going to learn anything useful by asking it), and I wish he had actually brought up specific reasons why people think the lottery is rigged rather than going with the "well people are talking about it being rigged"

No, that was Stern being a complete asshole. It was a legit question. That comment may be the end of Stern.

Just because it is a legit question doesnt preclude Jim Rome from being a dick in the way he asked it. Though I may be biased since I think Jim Rome sounds like a dick every time he opens his mouth

Realistically you are never going to learn anything from asking the commissioner of the NBA whether his league is rigged, but you can at least back up your accusations with evidence rather than "people are talking about it"

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
