Re: Risky Business

I'm really not worried about Wroten. I think we made a nice gamble that will pay off for us in the very near future.

Re: Risky Business

Makes you wonder how their agents spun their shady backgrounds prior to the draft. Hmmm.....

16, here's a tip for you....they are just athletes. That's it. For them to be role models is really quite hilarious. They probably won't cure cancer, they probably won't stop nuclear proliferation, and I bet they won't help solve the deficit problem. Most of them never ask to be a role model in the first place.

Everyone has skeletons in their closet. It's how you deal with them is what makes or breaks you. So far, Pisa has dealt with his admirably.
