Well, the unthinkable ....

Tío Ronnie

Well, the unthinkable or I should say the unwantable has happened, The LA Lakers are back in the NBA finals going against the Boston Celtics.

It’s all about me and the dollar, pay me or trade me, can’t blame them for wanting to get paid, hell, I would if I could. But show some respect for your game and team and remember all the vatos pequeños that look up to you.

The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback didn’t talk to reporters after practicing Tuesday for the first time since drawing a six-game suspension April 21 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

The penalty resulted from a Georgia college student’s allegation that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her in a nightclub, and though he does not face criminal charges in the case, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the quarterback’s drinking and carousing failed to meet the league’s expectations for player behavior, -- wow drinking and carousing. Why not call it like it ...
