Chad Ochocinco is jealous that Meta World Peace is recieving so much attention on a sport fan blog. He’s thinking: Why couldn’t have a local blogger like Feldman wrote the same article, but substituted World Peace for my Ochocinco and Blaha for the local broadcaster?

BTW— Drummond is out 4-6 weeks now…fml as a Pistons fan.

That really is quite possibly the worst ‘opinion piece’ article i’ve ever read. I can only assume (hope?) that it was written tongue in cheek, and that equating Blaha calling MWP Artest with the white establishment refusing to recognise Ali’s name change, was some kind of a huge satirical joke…
I mean, did you actually take a second to look back and read what you actually wrote before you published it…? Staggering. The Detroit Free Press clearly didn’t cast their net very far when looking for writers for their Pistons feature artcles…

That was awesome! Thanks for the laugh George! Very clever and very truthful! WMP is a joke and an oxy moron.

Tarsier, I think you’re confusing notoriety with respectability. By Blaha’s stature, they aren’t talking about his fame — they’re talking about his level of class, which isn’t even in the same league as “world peace’s”

The name itself is a joke for a player as violent and aggressive as Artest, and Blaha is right not to feed the troll.

Screw Artest and World Peace. Neither one is worthy of respect and we should not even be talking about him.

What you’re doing is saying its ok for MWP to not care what people call him, as long as those people call him by his given name…

Again, please explain since when it became crucial for play-by-play guys to call people by their legal names as opposed to, say, Worm, Spider, Buddha, and Mr. Big Shot? Or McNasty and McSwine, as Johnny Most used to call Rodman and Mahorn?

Kermit Washington almost killed Rudy Tomjanovich with a punch, he was suspended for 26 games.
