But of course Sports Center made it sound like Detroit is a bunch of hoodlums and ohhhh be careful of Detroit now. I don't even remember what he said but I know I was getting really pissed and annoyed with what they were saying.

Oh god, give it up - i know you love hockeytown but this is only one in a series of bullshit events in detroit sports history (disco demolition night, anyone?) . . . sometimes you're called hoodlums because YOU ACT LIKE HOODLUMS.

But as an athlete, you don't just jump into the stands and start knocking people out. I saw people just standing on the floor and a Pacers' player just went and knocked him in the head. THAT is unsportsmanlike... and I don't care what SportsCenter says... you don't defend yourself like that.

Yeah, and that reputation is forever destroyed in my mind. You'd have knocked that mouthy-ass clown down too if you'd been rabbit punched in the back of the head while trying to break stuff up (which is why O'Neal went nuts), or if you had trash cans full of beer/brat sludge tossed on you, or if you were getting held back while you get punched (which is what happened to Artest).
Yeah, Ron Artest is a nutcase, but in this case how much do you expect the man to take? If any fan gets a single dollar out of this, we should go piss on his lawn, b/c it's a joke.
Also - no suspensions will be for the 'season', I was watching SC in the bar all night, they just suspended 4 players (Wallace, O'Neal, Artest, Jackson) but I'd guess they get the 'indefinite' which turns into 5-7 games. Less for Wallace, perhaps more for O'Neal.
