Indiana makes me sick!

Being a born and bred hoosier it sickens me to see all of the self inflicted trouble this team gets itself into. Our President of basketball operations is one of the most highly touted players to ever wear a uniform but he cant seem to judge the character of the young new talent worth a crap. Bird just needs to clean the slate and rebuild player by player. Since the (big brawl) we have had at least 15 of the court issues with current players, not to mention all the trouble Jackson got into before being traded to Golden State. This week alone Marquis Daniels is being questioned for a rape that took place in his house last Saturday. Although not a suspect it did happen in his house while he was home! This is not the first sign of trouble from this guy. And today Shawn Williams was abrubtly removed from the game for no apparent reason. Tonight it was announced to fugitives from Memphis were staying at his Indianapolis home and 1 was wanted for murder. As a pure basketball fan I am now so frustrated with these pacers I feel we would be better served as a state to let them move the team out. One thing is for sure since Reggie left there is NO leadership on this team. Guys we are a long time removed from Milan winning the hearts of all sports fans when the little school won the state championship. Wouldnt it be nice if basketball could just be that pure again. What once was a die hard basketball state has moved totally to football only. Hell even our state college cant keep thier noses clean. On that note I say thanks Peyton!!! You may be a choir boy and say all the right things at all the right times but we in the state of Indiana appreciate your hard work and clean living... see ya guys hope your killing the bookies!!!

letting 2 fugitives stay at your house?!?!?!?!?....that's priceless.........what an idiot........hopefully, he didn't know, but I doubt it........and if they can prove he did know, that's no small matter.....

yep says he didnt know they were wanted but they caught them driving his dodge truck and they both had keys to the house and bedrooms as well...lol...they were buddies of his from his younger days in Memphis pathetic!!!

Now Williams is claiming he had no involvement but yet the vehicle both fugitives were found in was registered to him. The murder suspect is the same guy williams was busted with for marijuana charges last year and the other guy driving was wanted for an outstanding cocaine charge. I guess millions of dollars cant buy you happiness. I feel sorry for this kid he cant shake his past and dosent seem to have anybody pushing him in the right direction.. Dont know what the fix is for these things, guys have a since of loyalty to thier old buddies even if they are bad apples. by the way not that it matters but he was left in Indiana for the toronto game.

oh yeah forgot to mention 15 large was found in the vehicle they were stopped in. Bet thats not illegal cash!!!||an_roll_laugh.gif' border=0>||an_roll_laugh.gif' border=0>

||an_speechless.gif' border=0> Daniels ain't worth a damn anyway...Get rid of him, Oniel and Tinsley (they won't play anyway) and add 2 good players to Dunleavy, Granger, Rush, Murphy, and Diener and you would have a pretty solid team.
