I opened my morning Bee and read Marty's column. I think he missed the mark and did Artest no favors. RonRon/Bill doesn't understand subtle. This much is abundantly clear.
Marty should have shot from the hip and told it like it was. His column could have been short and sweet.
I'm fed up with people making excuses for RR/B's failure to muzzle himself. He did much the same thing in Indiana so he cannot pretend to be unaware of the ramifications of his actions. He just doesn't get it.
Marty is a blatant Ron Ron apologist -- he had no desire to tell it like it is. He just wants to make sure Ron will invite him over to play pool on Sundays.
