Bynum's vs LBJ's Apology

Both apologies seem to be a bit late, with LBJ's coming about 10 months late.

Bynum apologized after they were eliminated while LBJ's came in a series win. I think apologizing after beating his nemesis is a whole lot easier to do.

I do think it takes a lot for both of them to come out and apologize and it shows a lot of maturity. But if I had to choose which one I thought was more sincere, I would say Andrew Bynum's was.

For some reason Id rather take LBJ's apology, I know how late it is, but I do feel some sincerity in there.

Had Bynum not gave that shitty interview after the game showing zero remorse for what he did, and then days later issuing an apology, to me is bullshit. I don't buy it, but I don't need to buy it. Still think 5 games isn't enough, but it is what it is. I still think hes a piece of poo.

Well he obviously felt like he had to apologize. And I am sure there were people advising him to do so. He realized how he left Cleveland wasn't the best way to do it. I don't think many people would argue that.

I just think the timing of it was a little off and very convenient to do when he had just won one his biggest series of his career.

I'll be the first one to say I hated the way LeBron went about the whole thing, I thought it was a horrible way to treat his fans and the city. HOWEVER...

You can't even compare these two events.

One was a man, deciding what HE thought was the best route in his career. Hate it or love it, it's his life, and no one was really hurt.

Bynum however, is a thug. He's done this numerous times before to players, and is a outright just dirty player. He even did the typical "thug" action with the shirt removal and all of that crap. So no, I don't believe his apology, but time will tell if he acts like a jerk again. Five games, even though it's 700k, is not enough. I seriously think that when a player does something like this, the first time, it should be a year, again, permanent. People that use a performance enhancer get more suspension in sports it seems, while that IS cheating, it's different than some 7 foot guy taking someone down.

Two different situations.

I'm not condoning what Bynum did but the Mavs weren't winning with the most class and basketball believe it or not is a physical game sometimes. Anyone saying Bynum should be suspended for a year for this is either....

A. A Laker hater

or

B. Asinine....

First, no one is a 'Laker Hater' secondly, that was an intentional hit out of frustration just because the little b*tch wasn't winning? He wouldn't dare hit Lebron or someone his own size like that.

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
