The NBA, Where Apologies Happen

Boston Celtics forward Glen Davis, left, and Paul Pierce celebrate Davis' game-winning shot as time runs out to defeat the Orlando Magic at the end of the second half of a second-round NBA playoff basketball game in Orlando, Fla. , Sunday, May 10, 2009. The Celtics won 95-94.
1) Pushed Fan's Father Wants Apology From Big Baby
Let the records show, I do not like Glen "Big Baby" Davis (mainly because that horrendous fro-hawk he brought out for the playoffs), but this guy Ernest Provetti has GOT to be kidding! He wants Big Baby to apologize for accidentally pushing his kid who was practically on the court when Davis hit the shot of his life?? Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit! The kid wasn't hurt, hell he didn't even fall down! And to call Baby a "raging animal with no regard for fans' personal safety," was completely uncalled for. Somebody stick something in this rich faggot's mouth.

Big Baby did take the classy route and apologized to this prick and his fat ass son.

2) Mark Cuban Apologizes to Kenyon Martin's Mom
Good job Mark. I don't condone what he did, but I understand how it happened. You can't expect one of the most emotional people associated with the NBA to always think before he speaks, especially after a heartbreaking loss like the Mavs (rightfully) suffered Saturday.

And speaking of that game, it ended just the way it was supposed to. That kid Wright acted like he wasn't even trying to foul 'Melo which was evident by him 1) throwing his hands up after the reach-in as to say "I didn't foul him" 2) waiting until after 'Melo took and made the shot to look at the ref and complain 3) not just wrapping 'Melo up. Like Doc Rivers now says, "Foul the right way, not the Wright way."

3) Tar Heels Visit The White House
I want that jersey!

4) Romo Fails to Qualify for U.S. Open Again
Romo better sharpen up on his golf game because he'll be on the course and out of the playoffs again this January.
