Seriously Steve - I'd egg the stupid fool on, for this likely would happen if they were going into serious Lllloyd-like meltdown over some perceived injustice that was "robbing" them of any chance to stop another loss to the Buckeyes -- it might even add to my enjoyment of the game.

Not a valid example. Everyone knows that TSUN supporters are getting so used to the annual Tressel-fest that they don't even get upset anymore. I was setting up a perfect straw man and now you've ruined it. :slappy:

In the case of TSUN supporters, they now look forward to the eventual arse-kicking because it makes the nervous tick would go away :paranoid: :rofl:

Everyone just calm down. We actually all seem to be on roughly the same page. Davis broke a rule, and was rightly punished. His wife was being obnoxious, the fan overreacted, and she overreacted to his overreaction. He proceeded to overreact to her overreaction of his overreaction, over which we all have pretty much overreacted. I think we all agree that Davis' punishment was probably a little bit harsh, considering how much lighter it would have been if not for the Detroit melee. And I think we all agree as well that this is a needless, frivolous lawsuit. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong here.

Easy now. We can't all agree to anything except for the fact that the Knicks Suck!!!

EDIT: And Michigan Sucks

Bulls fan decides not to sue Davis and wife

CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago Bulls fan whose confrontation with Antonio Davis' wife led the Knicks forward to rush into the stands will not sue the player and his family.
In a joint statement released Monday, Michael Axelrod and the Davises said: "It's clear that the episode at the United Center last week, and its aftermath, evolved from some misunderstandings. This has produced regrets from all parties involved. Common sense strongly suggests that we collectively put this episode behind us and move on. That's what the Davises and Michael Axelrod plan to do, and we hope everyone else will, as well."
Axelrod's attorney, Jay Paul Deratany, said in a telephone interview: "Both sides expressed regret for any miscommunication that occurred. Both parties want to move forward -- with being a fan and watching the game and being a ballplayer. They've expressed their regret and that's good enough for the family. And we're satisfied with the result."
Axelrod and Kendra Davis exchanged words during Wednesday's Bulls-Knicks game, and the trouble escalated from there. Another fan became involved, and Antonio Davis ran into the stands during a timeout in overtime. He was ejected and, ultimately, suspended for five games by the NBA. He issued a statement after the game saying a drunk fan had touched Kendra.
The next day, Axelrod said he had only one glass of wine with dinner of few hours earlier and had threatened to sue for at least $1 million. On Friday, Axelrod and his attorney said they would drop the issue if the Davises issued a public apology.
The Davises refused. But agent Bill Duffy and Axelrod's father David -- a prominent Democratic political consultant -- continued to talk.
"It's good to come to a sensible resolution of this matter, especially where good people are involved," Duffy said in the statement. "You have two strong, wonderful families, and there's no reason why a heated moment should divide them."
David Axelrod said in the statement: "Emotions always get cranked up after incidents of this type. "It's good to step back and let common sense prevail."

Still feel the same way about poor innocent Kendra?

NAPERVILLE, Ill. - Kendra Davis, the wife of New York Knicks forward Antonio Davis, was charged with misdemeanor battery Thursday for allegedly throwing a cup of coffee at a woman during a traffic dispute last fall, police said.

Last month, Kendra Davis had a verbal confrontation with a fan at a Knicks-Bulls game in Chicago, prompting her husband to climb into the stands to check on her. He was ejected and received a five-game suspension from the NBA.

An arrest warrant was issued Thursday for Kendra Davis, 31, of Naperville, on misdemeanor charges of battery and driving on a suspended license, Sgt. Joel Truemper said.

Kathleen Bessner, 40, claimed Kendra Davis ran a stop sign on Oct. 27, 2005, according to police. Bessner told police that when she confronted Davis at an intersection, Davis threw a cup of coffee through the driver's side window.

Police said Davis told them she threw the cup of coffee because Bessner used a racial slur. Bessner denies using the slur. She decided to pursue the criminal complaint this week and had 18 months to do so, Truemper said.

Truemper said police contacted Davis on Thursday to inform her of the charges, but she had not turned herself in as of Thursday afternoon.

She could not be reached by The Associated Press for comment on Thursday. Antonio Davis' agent did not immediately return a phone message.

Living in Chicago, I saw the video of her leaving the police station yesterday. It was in the middle of the day, but she looked totally out of it. Definitely 'Dazed and Confused'.

The woman has some issues. She threw the whole cup (it was a McDonald's coffee), and the cup full of coffee was tossed through the window at the other driver. Apparently Davis ran a stop sign, almost hitting the other car, and that's why she was yelled at.

And she played the race card to explain why she threw the cup of coffee.
