Here is a little observation from your old pal New York Vinnie! There are some people in life who just everything always goes the right way for them. They can not mess it up no matter how hard they try! This PUD is a perfect example Theo Frickin Ratliff maybe one of the luckiest bums on the face of the Earth! Ratliff had four decent seasons early in his Frickin career and the PUD  has been able to parlay a Frickin 14 year NBA career out of it!

According to the Associated Press this lucky Munecho will be playing season number 15 for the San Antonio Spurs as he signed a free agent deal for the upcoming season. Terms of the contract have not been released but is safe to say this bum signed for the veteran minimum. Ratliff played this past season for the Philadelphia 76ers and he was as they say underwhelming. The veteran averaged 1.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.02 blocks per game. Not even decent numbers in anybody’s book!

But then the Goon had the nuts to talk to press and ripped the coaching staff after the Sixers lost in the Playoffs! Ratliff told reporters “When you see the lack of effort, the lack of concentration, the lack of being able to get things done, and to stick with the same thing, to me you’re just trying to play guys, and I don’t feel good about it. I’m not a coach, I don’t make the substitutions. But if you’re going to do it like that, then that’s the way it’s done, then you get that type of game. You’re going to get whupped, plain and simple. You don’t know if you’re going to get back to this position. This is my 14th year. It’s not guaranteed that I’ll be in the playoffs again. To not get the effort, to see how things went, the lack of hustle, that leaves a distaste.”

Okay here is what New York Vinnie has to say about Ratliff’s statements. Any player that averages 1.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.02 blocks per game for the season keeps his Frickin mouth shut. Who do you think you are spouting all this crappola when you just finished having the season you had? Theo you are not about to make anybody think about Wilt Chamberlain when they watch you play! Unless it is about how badly the Big Dipper would have Frickin gone to town on your sorry behind!

So Ratliff you lucked out again and somehow hoodwinked a pretty good team into signing you! Take New York Vinnie’s advice Theo and the only thing you should say to reporters next season is the NBA has been very very good to you!
