For anyone who missed the interview, here’s the [link](http://video.msn.com/video/p.htm?t=1&p=Source_Today%20Show&i=ed007124-6985-4eea-88b2-e330011a6b7c).

I hope Ron gets on his knees every day and gives thanks for being able to play basketball because he wouldn’t be able to ask people if they wanted fries with their order. That’s the biggest pile of horribly incoherent shit in an interview I’ve ever seen. No blame taken, we should just “move on”.

The CEO of the players union, Bill Hunter, then went on and said Ron was sorry, saying Ron was not very “articulate”. He then tied in the war in Iraq to the fight. Man, Bill needs to become a spin doctor for both the Dems and Repubs.

Seems like he’s mildly retarded or at least he’s really, really media unsavy.
