Someone yesterday wrote that Howard was an over paid, petulant star, who no one should be sorry for in all this technical foul business... well; the nerve...

You know; I too, grow tired of some of these over-paid, over-blown egomaniacs who people call "Star" Athletes.

However, there ARE limits to how much a man... ANY man can, or should take in physical punishment; And all the money in the world cannot change this.

Just ONE Stat for you, and for Mr. Stearn, the whole Damn NBA, and its Press Lap Dogs HAVE to MEMORIZE: 593

Yes... repeat after me: 593

This is the recorded number of personal fouls executed upon Dwight Howard THIS year, 593. By far; the MOST in all the NBA, not only this year, but for the past THREE years. And a substantial number of those have been above the shoulders... or to the head. But like the one this past week, scored on Howards' left eyebrow; which required 3 stitches to close and happened right in FRONT of the Ref... THEY DIDN'T SEE IT! “They” never see it…

NONE of these 593 fouls have been called FLAGRANT... NONE. I would say that Howard has exercised a great deal of self-control: I KNOW I WOULD NOT, under those conditions...

Yes... I'm with Stan Van Gundy on this one.

So... before anyone can simply dismiss his so-called "antics", or "tantrums" on the face of this onslaught I call BATTERY and PREMEDITATED ASSAULT... THINK AGAIN. Otherwise one could be coming across as something of an ignorant fool... the real fool.
