Artest was not innocent, it wasn't deserved, but he wasn't innocent. If you wanna throw a cup of beer at me, wait till I do something that's purpose is to tick you off. Even you know that if you intentionally try to tick people off (which is what Artest was doing by 'innocently' lying on the scorer's table), you should expect to irritate somebody to the boiling point at some point. As a professional (who has fans who would act the same way), he should understand this.

Around the edges of most football fields, there are stairways that lead right up to the stands for easy access for VIPs. Using the stairs, even Gilbert Brown could get into the stands without using a Lambeau leap (flop?).

I'm not just picking on Artest here, I think Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal should have been suspended just as long if not longer.

Sean Taylor can be classified as young and stupid at this point. His actions have not been nearly as severe as Artest's have in the past. If Taylor continues in footsteps of Artest, who has been a professional for 5 more years, I will classify Taylor as a piece of trash too.
