well duh, if he gets on AI and 76ers and his station have beef, he'd get canned

BEEZ

Not exactly, he calls out other players on the Regular, I have seen and watched him call out McNabb to his face. Howard picks his spots and certain players he will call out and then others he will do it behind a microphone and when in public act like he didnt say a word. The next day he was on the radio retracting his statement somewhat. What a loser, be a man and stand by your ward

I don't know about other fans but when I heard AI was sitting out with the injury, I took it in stride. I never really like seeing players on my favorite teams rush back to their own detriment, because whatever short lived satisfaction comes from their swift return most likely will end in something that trims days off of their career.

Sixers weren't winning without him, but it's not fair to Iverson or the team to complain about him sitting out. In sports, I'm aware that the thought pattern is "what have you done for me lately" but even a person with Alzheimer's can't truly forget everything Iverson has done. If he thinks he had to sit out, he knows what he's doing, because as a fan and watching Iverson over the years it's obvious that it bothers him more than it'll ever bother us that he didn't play those games. That's why I won't buy what Eskin is saying about Iverson about not going on the Western trip because of a vendetta against the organization. I thought Iverson explained before that he wouldn't go on the trip because if he did he'd force it out for one of the games.

Let's face it, when you look back on it, Howard Eskin has had this little "feud" with Iverson ever since Iverson refused to do the little exclusive interviews with Eskin. Ever since then, Eskin has spat out numerous trade rumors involving Iverson, and said every negative word possible about him. I actually enjoy listening to Eskin.. when he's talking Eagles, but when he's on about the Sixers I never listen because it's always anti-Iverson, and like AI said if you want to support him don't bother calling Eskin, because it'd be a waist of time, and only a few seconds before you hear the dial tone after he hangs up.

every time he opens his mouth its to complain about the cops or the coaches or the media. he seems to be mad at the world. here's a guy making about 13 mil a year, is he ever happy?

futuristxen

What does happiness have to do with how much he knows? You said he sounded like an idiot, and implied that he was uneducated...

If you want to let it go, then I'll let it go. But I didn't like the point you inadvertently(hopefully) were driving at.

rainman

he does sound like an idiot, the guy went to one of the best schools in the country for two years and talks like he just stepped out of the ghetto. that is obviously the image he wants to portray and you seem to like it so all i can say is be my guest.

lastlaugh

The media's job is to sell papers.
If they don't have a story they make it up.
However if Iverson did skip rehab then the road trip then they should call him out on that.

Are you serious? So when somebody lives in the ghetto for the first 19 years of their life, and than goes to a good school for 2 years, they are automatically supposed to erase their entire childhood? You need to growup not everybody is from the suburbs, a lot of us grow up in the ghetto, just because you get some wealth doesn't mean the ghetto leaves you. The man plays basketball for a living he isn't an executive of a major coroporation, he doesn't need to portray somebody who grew up a rich community. He is himself, and he definitely doesn't sound uneducated when he speaks, he doesn't use words in the incorrect context or stuff like that, he just talks with a "hood tone." Sorry he pronounces words that end in "ing" like they end in "in," thats how we talk. If you don't like it than so be it but don't say the man sounds like an idiot because of it.
