Since the Robert Horry body check on Steve Nash talk continues to go strong well into the afternoon, I thought I'd share a gem from Ms. Page 2. Thanks to Jon for bringing me to the attention of this hilarious Jemele Hill Chat going on today. And by hilarious, I mean awful. And by awful, I mean train wreck.
The conversation was intended to be in response to her thoughts on the Horry/Diaw/Stoudemire suspensions.
(edit note: underlines from me for emphasis)
Dale(Phoenix): Duncan and Bowen ran onto the court in the 2nd quarter after Nelson landed on James Jones' head. Where's the buzz about that?That was just the start.
Jemele Hill: Personally, I didn't see that. I picked up the game at the half. If that happened, I don't think the commish should take it easy on them, either. Look, if you bend the rule in this case, then a lot of teams will use circumstances and star power as a defense. You've got to be consistent.
Barry (Irvine, CA): Is it a power trip of yours to keep everyone waiting for 30 minutes only to say that you didn't even see the first half and that you were having your nails done? No wonder Skip Bayless trounced all over on every topic despite him being an idiot.Time fer her Dan Quayle moment ...
Jemele Hill: Don't recall saying anything about nails. Sorry, I was late. And yes, I enjoy you being at my beck and call.
Jarrod (Phoenix): Jemele, Why do you hate the Suns- It is pretty obvious.. Just curious...JBall, whoever you are, you are solid ...
Jemele Hill: I don't hate the Suns. I like watching good basketball. They are a good team. Unlike the state of Phoenix, I carry no emotional investment in this series. I find it entertaining as a sports fan.
JBall, Springfield, MA: Have you ever even seen a game prior to the 90's? Even now there is far, far, far more contact on each and every possession. They foul on every play. Skill has been replaced by HGH'd athletes with zero grace. The game is a sham, like ESPN
Jemele Hill: Clearly, you must have missed all those Celtics-Pistons throw downs. Bill Laimbeer's clotheslines made Raja Bell's one on Kobe last year look like a kiss.
Brad, Chicago: What were doing in your office that was more important than the game you had to write about? Seriously, I almost never agree with your stories, but I figured you might actually watch the game.Can't wait to read this article Jemele ...
Jemele Hill: I was writing a column for my beloved employer. Sorry.
andy (detroit): I know you won't answer this...but..you say you missed the 1st half b/c you were working on your article. Then the article comes out today and it is about what trangressed at the end of the game. So, if you were working on the article about the Horry/Nash situation during the 1st half, you must be able to travel in time, right?It's evident we may need to check if there's a Fire Jemele Hill domain.
Jemele Hill: I wasn't working on the Nash-Horry article. I was actually working on another column about Brett Favre.
