No physical violence, but by all means, hurl abuse!

Who sang the song "The Bitch is Back"? Anyhow, that should be the theme playing throughout the ACC tomorrow night, when that bitch of all bitches, Vince "Air Canada" Carter, returns to Toronto as the disgruntled, crybaby, QUITTER that he has admitted to being.

Oh yes, we have the shirts, the bobblehead, the calendar and the card; we paid good money so there will be no bonfire. We have our higlight memories and our cherished times. Like any bad marriage though, we also have our venom and we want a piece of VC. Air Canada is the right title for that broken down, not living to potential, less than what it advertises itself to be, loser of a prospect.

Understand, if he said he wanted out, to play for a playoff calibre team, to get a ring before his sorry body gave out, we would understand. But to sit on the bench, bitching and moaning like, well, a little bitch and then come alive after a VERY bad trade gets you out of dodge and into a place that would welcome Damon Stoudamire as a saviour, you have to expect that you pissed off quite a few people.

Now, to compound things (no, not clarify as you said) and to rub salt in the wound, you go on TV and say outright that you di dnot have to play to potential and you did not have to give it your all? And you wonder why your teammates did not want to step up? Why oh why would they compare you to MJ? You neither have his savvy business sense, off-court poise nor his respect of the masses.

On court, you cannot wear the man's shoes. Oh, you can jump, we know you can jump (you did jump ship did you not?), but can you stand your ground? MJ took a charge from Shaq. SHAQ!!!! MJ got slapped by the Detroit bullies. MJ played with a stomach flu bad enough that he could not sit upright, did not drink Gatorade, spewed whatever he ate and drank earlier and had to be INFUSED with fluids at halftime. All of that was during a finals playoff game. But, you would know about that would you quitter? You would have to make it past the first round to experience that. I guess you will NEVER know that feeling.

Welcome home Vince! Bend over, drop trou and take the licks you richly deserve.

Peace!
