the trade

Well I have been biting my tongue for the last week or so. But I just can’t take it anymore. Please stop reading if you have any problem with profanity laced tirades. You’ve been warned…

We are going to skip right over the Eagles for a second and spend some time talking about the most pathetic excuse for a basketball team the NBA has ever seen. Honestly though I think pathetic is too nice of a word to use when describing the Sixers. Abominable, sickening, dreadful are much better descriptive words. Even those fail to capture the true disgrace this team has brought to the city of Philadelphia. And when I say team I don’t mean Samuel Dalembert, Andre Iquodala or even Chris Webber…I am talking about Billy King and Ed FUCKING Snider. What the fuck is wrong with the two of them? Honestly? What’s wrong with them? I for one have been trying to figure it out for years but the events that have taken place over the last two weeks have left me completely incapable of believing that they are actually human. Were they born without brains? Are they trying to ruin the Sixers? Are they specifically coming up with ways to get them to lose? Is this the basketball version of Major League? What other reason could there be? I can’t imagine someone being this bad at their job by accident. No one is that incompetent.

My affinity towards Allen Iverson is no secret, so I wont even try to remain unbiased. How the fuck do you trade away your best player, MVP, scoring champion…need I really continue? Who the fuck wants to watch a Sixers game now? Not me. In fact I am going to specifically NOT watch Sixers games because he doesn’t play there anymore. At least not for a while. At least not until I can get this taste out of my mouth. It’s just unbelievable. Unbelievable. I know they say he demanded to be traded, but please give me a fucking break. They drove him to it. They made him ask to be traded, if he even did because I don’t really believe it. Fucking Billy King. I don’t know how but I’m sure Larry Brown had something to do with this whole mess. This has Larry Brown written all over it. He was always messing things up for Allen. Shit talking and causing problems. This is all Larry Brown’s fault I just know it!

They have treated Allen like shit for the last few years and all he has done is win games and fill seats. Sorry but I am not going to spend $50 to watch Kyle Korver. Allen has been nothing but a stand up guy and look how they treat him. I can’t even believe this. At least he was sent to a team that I can cheer for. I can’t believe this. It is so totally out of my realm of comprehension. Even Grammy likes Allen Iverson. Maybe when I wake up in the morning it will have all been a dream. Maybe I will transport back to June 2001 and I will be getting ready to join my fellow Pennsylvanians on Broad Street for a Championship parade. And maybe Allen will be getting the respect he deserves but never receives. A girl can dream can’t she?

I can’t even write anymore. I have managed to get all worked up. Unbelievable. Well Allen if you are reading, I’ll miss you and I wish you the best. You certainly aren’t going to win anything in Philadelphia. Thanks for the memories!!!!
