"It's for all the marbles. I'm sitting in the house loading up the pump, I'm loading up the Uzis, I've got a couple of M-16's, couple of nines, couple of joints with some silencers on them, couple of grenades, got a missile launcher with some, you know, missles. I'm ready for war.":lol::lol::lol:

"...missile launcher with some, you know, missiles." Classic athlete-speak. Best ever though, after a "fog out" in Cleveland (I'm sure all of you know this one already, but):Oil Can Boyd: "That's what they get for building a stadium on the ocean."

lol. yeah, actually some people said that that was "politically incorrect" because there is a real war going on, and they are saying that Garnett is discrediting real soldiers by acting like his job is as important/hard.i hate political correctness...

To his credit, he realized what he'd done and apoligized soon afterwards. That took some integrity on his part. Athletes, fans, and spectators often get carried away with war analogies and comparisons, yet often none of these have ever experienced the real thing. I don't think you have the right to compare something to war unless you go through it first hand.

Not really politically incorrect, just disrespectful. People in a real war are risking their life, and he is a millionaire living the life of privelage and playing a kids game for a living. Quite a difference. Think if your brother, or father, or whomever came back from Iraq in a pine box. How would you receive his comments?To his credit, he realized what he'd done and apoligized soon afterwards. That took some integrity on his part.

I don't think it's disrespectful. Are you saying that we are no long allowed to make analogies, similies, and metaphors about war? Whatever happened to the first ammendment? If a person isn't being serious then there is nothing disrespectful about it.

If servicemen are in my vicinity, I give them a 'sir' and think nothing of it.
If I'm with my friends, then it's time to goof on the war and Shrub and his crew.
It's just a matter of respect for the people around you...

Garnett did a stand-up thing by apologizing, and I understand he was being facetious, but he needs to remember to hold his tongue at times, particularly when we are literally at war.

Free speech IS upheld by the U.S. Constitution, which does not necessarily endow all speech with a measure of "respect" or "sensitivity." To use an extreme example, say I publicly make the statement that "the New York Yankees are a festering lump of cancerous cells, and we just chemo-ed those suckers!" after a big win in the playoffs (assume I'm Pedro Martinez in this very fictional world). Wouldn't that be disrespectful, offensive, and downright insensitive to any number of cancer patients, survivors, family, friends, people with consciences, etc? Isn't warfare something as seriously life-threatening as cancer?Garnett did a stand-up thing by apologizing, and I understand he was being facetious, but he needs to remember to hold his tongue at times, particularly when we are literally at war.
