As for Iverson, I heard many are upset with him because he compared what his playing basketball "just like going to war."

I'll forgive Iverson for that one. Lots of people use the "war" metaphor for various activities in life. Besides, his job is to be pounded once every few nights by much bigger guys. I can't blame him if he sees it as a war.

On another subject, I suggest that all good Americans boo Simeon Rice upon his introduction at games next year. Even Bucs fans. Cheer for Sapp, cheer for Lynch, cheer for Brooks, cheer for Johnson, but boo Rice. Make sure he gets thie message.
