"His comments were inappropriate."

Not in the NBA.

To call this "ghetto trash" is an insult to both ghettos and trash.

Drudge had a link to the video of it on his website last night. The guy sounded like a thug gangster and nothing like a sports commentator. Therefore I assume the next stop for him is ESPN.

Comcast Sports SouthEast general manager Mark Fuhrman said. "

Not the cop who framed OJ.

They should just change the name of the game to thugball, at least as it pertains to Florida.

Not sure I want to see these guys suspended, i.e., idled. Do you know how many additional gas station stickups that'll result in? Let's try to keep them occupied practicing their thuggery on the field! ;-)

I wonder why Miami-FL reminds me of the movie "The Longest Yard"?

... because the guy would probably jump over the desk and beat the shit out of the old skinny guy the first time he thought he was being dissed.

ROTFL--I can almost visualize that. Him and Imanass getting embroiled in a verbal stupor that turns violent--now that's entertainment.

What were his comments?

Furhman was upset Lamar failed to use the N word often enough during the brawl.
