It was very unclassy, and it embarrassed not only Whit, but the entire team. Glenn shouldn't have done what he did, but at least I can understand it.
you said it was "among" the most unclassy to ever occur - use of the term among rates it as equal to anything else that could be "the most" unclassy.

No- read it again. It was among the most un-classy I have ever seen. That is nowhere close to saying it is the least classy to have ever occurred.

And I stand by what I said.

How do you know it embarrassed KW and the team? Or are you projecting how you feel about it?

I've said it before that it classless to do it, but I'm not going to fret about it. Everyone does something classless at one time or another.
I can't say if it personally embarrassed Whit or the players. I can say it brought embarrassment upon them from the perspective of a third party. Like I said, check the papers and tv for support.

I've seen the papers and the tv reports. As I said, it's all projection on their (and your) part.

Do you only care about it because of the rivalry?

No- Utah annually provides multiple reasons to hate them, so this event doesn't do much to add to that.

Ok, if it's not a rivalry thing, why do you care about it?

Because it is bad for sports. This is as dumb of a question as asking "why do you care about the Pistons brawl?" Or "why do you care if the Patriots cheat?"

The sport would be better off without this kind of crap, and I love the sport. Why don't you care, particularly given that it is your team who did it? Or is that the only reason you don't?

Heh. So I guess we can then infer that you don't get out much.

i stand corrected - you were indeed making a limited statement.

still, you are making too big of a deal out of this incident.

here is a top 10 of unsportsmanlike occurrences. if nothing else, these are fun to watch. http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/...smanlike_Plays
