“Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.” How much better we would be in this Great Nation of ours if we all followed that advice from long ago? Unfortunately New York Vinnie is far too aware that we live in a Frickin era that we get Frickin misinformation handed to us on an almost Frickin daily basis. And what is even more Frickin unfortunate is that many people take every thing they hear or read as the Frickin Gospel.
New York Vinnie has been telling you for months now that Allen Iverson is a very sensitive human being; and right now the guy’s pride is Frickin hurting big time. So he allowed the moment to get the best of him and ripped off his goodbye. And a writer who was only concerned about having a “Frickin Sensational Story” took it and ran with it. In New York Vinnie’s opinion Smith did nothing, illegal or unethical but it sure was Frickin sleazy!
So don’t put your Iverson gear into storage quite yet! Your Old Pal New York Vinnie knows we have not heard the last chapter in this story!
Don’t Count Out Iverson Playing This Season Just Yet!
Now this where we bring in the destiny, fate and karma. You could use a talented starting point guard and it just so happens that Allen Iverson is looking for that exact gig! Now if that is not Destiny than New York Vinnie does not know what is! Iverson has an eight week tryout to see if he can still be an effective starting point guard in the NBA back in the city and on the team where it all Frickin began! The advantage for you Ed is you can get Iverson most likely for the NBA veteran minimum which is a Frickin great bargain. Is that not just Frickin Poetic?
New York Vinnie believes that destiny is knocking on your door right now Ed. This a Frickin no lose situation; so answer the Frickin door and see if Iverson can be the “Answer” for your team!
With Williams Injured Could Iverson Go Back To The Sixers?
New York Vinnie does not want to come off as some Frickin Egotistical Know-It-All Pud; that is not what this Frickin column is about. It did not take Frickin Robert Downey Jr. as the New Frickin Sherlock Holmes to piece this Frickin mystery together.
New York Vinnie received an e-mail from another website on Friday saying they had the same idea but I had beat them to the punch. Philadelphia and Iverson makes Frickin sense there is a mutual Frickin need. All New York Vinnie did on Friday was pure Frickin speculation based on logic. It was not Mike Frickin Wallace investigative reporting.
From the day that New York Vinnie took over Le Basketbawl I have made and kept one pledge; to carry on the tradition of the “Late Great Howard Cosell” and that is to always “Tell It Like It Is.” New York Vinnie grew up on the Frickin streets and learned very early on in life that your name, your integrity and your credibility can never be taken away. You can only give it up yourself.
Less than 72 hours after reporting that Allen Iverson was retiring from the NBA Stephen A Smith in a guest column for “Fox Sports News” is reporting that indeed the Philadelphia 76ers are interested in possibly bringing Allen Iverson in while starting guard Louis Williams is out for the next 8 weeks after having surgery for a broken jaw.
Smith is trying to act like Frickin Woodward and Bernstein breaking the Frickin Watergate story! New York Vinnie thinks that Stephen A Smith is just a Frickin PUD without any Frickin credibility what so ever. If You take a Thousand shots Stephen; then you will eventually get one to go in. That seems to be your Frickin style of reporting.
Do you remember the story from when you were a kid about the “Boy Who Cried Wolf” ? Back in ancient Greece there was this little Frickin trouble making PUD who used to guard the sheep. The little Scumbago would get bored during the Frickin day and to cause some Frickin excitement the kid would yell that a Frickin wolf was coming. The whole Frickin town would come running to save the sheep meanwhile this little Muneco was laughing his behind off.
Well the little piece of Crapolla played the Frickin game once too often; and when the Frickin wolf showed up nobody believed the little PUD. So he was the Frickin appetizer for the wolf before the Frickin wolf feasted on the sheep.
Remember a couple of years ago when Stephen A Smith was the Frickin “Golden Child” at “ESPN“? He was the guy that got Kobe on “ESPN Radio” when they broke the story about how Kobe could not possibly play anymore for the Lakers and he would not play a game in a Lakers uniform in the 2007-2008 season! And that was quite a coup considering that Kobe Bryant now plays for; the Los Angeles Lakers.
Yo Stephen; reporting is not supposed to be like playing with a Frickin piñata! You put on a Frickin blind fold and swing with a stick until you get the Frickin candy! You have no Frickin credibility or integrity in New York Vinnie’s eyes Stephen; and I have the feeling I am not alone!
