Middle Buffalo Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Didn't hear too much about this until today. Pretty grim picture of the All-Star weekend. http://sports.aol.com/whitlock/_a/mayhem-m...220103009990001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I had a friend that was in Vegas for all this, and she said about the same things. The NBA, Las Vegas, and ESPN have done a good cover up so far, but more info is going to get out. My favorite quote about it was "It was the Hip Hop Woodstock". I wish I remember who said it, but whoever did hit the nail on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yeah i posted this in the NBA thread. I also knew someone down there, and she said it was a joke. She actually heard gunshots outside her hotel one night, and another night left a party at a hotel before there was a shooting there as well. The NBA has major issues.

Flash Tizzle Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Thankfully Whitlock is black or else his story would have been dismissed as blatant racism. And yes, it wouldn't have made his account any less truthful if he were white; but you know how society judges people who speak outside their own race, religion, ethnicity, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retro1983hat Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 So what is it that caused the problems? The players' entourages or the rappers' entourages or both of those groups together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone asked on the PA for the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby to come forward... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo's Drinker Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Whitlock is a fat blob who loves hearing himself talk. He is not respected at all in KC. He absolutely hates all the local teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I've liked Whitlock on ESPN. However, I think Mariotti is horrid in writing and on TV, so I don't know if that's a valid comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
