New York Vinnie just realized that 2009 has been “The Year Of The Jacksons.” All summer long all we heard about were more and more sad details of the all too early death of legendary entertainer Michael Jackson. And for those of us who are fans of the “The Greatest Game On Earth” the NBA our autumn has been spent talking about legend in his own Frickin Mind and perennial PUD Stephen Jackson. The situation that has evolved between the Golden State Warriors and the “Problem Child” veteran is like passing this Frickin terrible traffic accident on the highway. You truly want to look away but you just stare and get further horrified.

Jackson started the ball rolling when he told a reporter in New York City back in September that he had wanted to be traded from the Warriors. The veteran said he was sick of playing for a losing team even though he had Frickin signed a three year contract extension with the Warriors last November. The contract extension does not even kick in until next season.

Warriors head coach Don Nelson was originally understanding of his veteran’s remarks. He told reporters he would allow Jackson to remain team captain and act as if his forward never made the comments. But Jackson would not let sleeping dogs lie; causing a ruckus in a preseason game against the Lakers which would lead to a two game suspension. During a meeting with Nelson and Warriors General Manager Larry Riley the following week Jackson gave back his team captain title.

Thursday Jackson told the “Associated Press“ he was quite upset at being portrayed as “the bad guy” in the ongoing controversy. Jackson said that “people want me to be somebody to point the finger at and say, ‘He ain’t doing this, or he’s not humble, or he’s not doing this.”

Yo Jacko; you know what people want you to really do? Shut Your Frickin mouth and concentrate on playing basketball. If New York Vinnie ran the NBA I would immediately void Jackson’s contract for the balance of this season and the three year extension he signed last November and make him an unrestricted Free Agent. And you know what would be the Frickin end result Jax? You would be out of a whole lot of Frickin money; because no other team would be stupid enough to pay you what you are guaranteed to get from the Warriors.

Why are you being portrayed as “the bad guy” Jax? Because this whole Frickin thing is your own Frickin fault! There is no one else to blame; You caused this you started it and you keep pushing it along with moronic comments like this one. Just shut up and play ball you selfish Frickin PUD.
