<quoted text>Is it really your contention that when people use the word thug that they acutally mean the "N" word? Face it. There are thugs of every race. A thug is anyone who gets in to fights and tries to bully people. Any inference to race is your way to discredit people who make valid points. Instead of discrediting their arguments you just call them racists.
As for your other argument. Police found pot in Tinsley's car and in William's car. Both of them had other people take the fall for the drugs but to think that they were not doing them is niave at best. Of course others are going to take the wrap for the drugs. If you are poor and you have one meal ticket friend you take the fall so they can continue making the money. Like it or not but you can tell a lot about a person by who they hang out with.

do you know how much you spend each year to keep pot criminalized? it is widely known that pot is less dangerous than tobacco and alcohol. and when did the cops find pot on tinsley? are you making things up?

Dear Miss Sissies,
Or may we call you by your first name, "Pro"?
Please tell us how you have never taken a sick day in your working career, that is if you have a regular job.
Please tell us all about how you know when someone is a "thug" or do you really want to use another word that begins with "N"?
Please tell us all about your inside information on how the Pacers are using drugs. This seems to be right up your alley.
Please tell us about your knowledge concerning "Bar room brawl jerks". This is something that you probably have a lot of experience with. At least you probably know a lot about the "jerk" part which I am sure is an important aspect of your life.

Hey everybody- attendance don't lie!

You can bickel and quable, no difference, Ain't no fans at the game! Don't fill seats, don't keep the green.

We miss you Reggie

I think that a lot of Pacer fans, including myself, owe Uncle Reg a great big apology. It was always quite fashionable to criticize Reggie for what he couldn't do instead of celebrating those things that he could do.

Probably the biggest thing he did, especially after J.O. and Snoop Dog Tinsley joined the roster, was to use his massive leadership skills to keep that collection of knuckleheads in line. It wasn't until Reggie retired that the whole organization unraveled.

As for Tinsley---I don't care what kinds of skills he has, or what kinds of skills Andre Owens supposedly doesn't have. I want Tinsley sitting on the bench for the rest of forever, and I want Owens to start. Maybe the 10,000 people who actually go to Pacer games don't agree, but I don't care. They can stay home and 17,000 more will line up for their tix, so they can watch a point guard who actually plays defense and who actually enjoys playing. And he's a hometown guy, at that!

Oh my gosh can you believe that Tinsley is hurt. Don't worry coach he'll try to come back in March. If I ran the Pacers I'd trade Tinsley for a 4th round draft pick but who would trade, GIVE IT UP

They found pot in Tinlsey's glove compartment the night of the Club Rio incident. The safety of pot is not the issue. The issue is it IS illegal. So therefore he has been found with an ILLEGAL substance in his car.

At 7,000 or so seats empty each home game, I think I'd just outright release him.

The increase in attendance would more than make up for the loss of the millions paid to an inconsistent, always in trouble, always hurt player who can't hit the side of a barn most nights.

Tensley needs to go,but the problem is know one would take him!I have been along time Pacer fan,he does not do anything for this team except cause problems,i hope Owen does a good job while he is point guard and wins some games to show that we do not need him.Godbless,jonny

[Old Roy]

9 points in the fourth quarter and the Pacers choke again. Nice job Larry, 4 game losing streak and counting.

GO Andre Ownens. A Perry Meridian Graduate!! Take the loser Tinsley's Job.
