Billions of times every day a statement comes out of the mouths of tens of millions of Americans that is an outright Frickin lie; “I Hate To Say I Told You So.” Unless tragic Frickin consequences are involved we “LOVE To Say I Told You So!” It validates our beliefs and makes us feel like we are more knowledgeable than the other guy. Every body wants be proven right when they make a statement or give advice; that is just Frickin human nature.

So New York Vinnie is not going to be hypocrite and pretend to feel bad that something I knew was going to happen has already started to rear it’s Frickin ugly little head. With the NBA less than a week old there are already rumblings in Memphis as one of the Frickin biggest selfish Puds in the league has already started complaining. And Your Old Pal New York Vinnie is not surprised in the least.

Tuesday the “Memphis Commercial-Appeal” reported that Memphis Grizzlies guard Allen Iverson has already started to complain to the media. Iverson who signed a one year deal just before NBA Training Camp with Memphis for $3.5 million told media members he is very unhappy so far with his role on the team. Iverson made his debut Monday night with the Grizzlies as his club lost to the Sacramento Kings in overtime 127-116. Iverson did not play in any preseason games or the first three regular season games after suffering a partial tear of his left hamstring at the beginning of the Grizzlies training camp.

Iverson came into the contest off of the bench with 4:39 left in the first quarter. After the Grizzlies lost the contest reporters asked the veteran how his leg felt after playing in his first game since last season. The guard responded “I had no problems (with his hamstring). I had a problem with my butt sitting on that bench for so long. No. I’m not a bench player. I’m not a sixth man. Look at my resume and that’ll show I’m not a sixth man. I don’t think it has anything to do with me being selfish. It’s just who I am. I don’t want to change what gave me all the success that I’ve had since I’ve been in this league. I’m not a sixth man. And that’s that.”

One game back and already this Frickin PUD is stirring up trouble; this is happening even quicker than New York Vinnie thought it would. All that talk of his being a Frickin leader and helping this team was nothing but a Frickin lie. New York Vinnie told you it was at the time and Iverson proved me right last night.

This just the start you can take that to the Frickin bank! Iverson will be complaining all season long and Memphis Grizzlies General Manager Chris Wallace will be ready to pull his hair out by January. And New York Vinnie truly “LOVES To Say I Told You So!”
