Smart is so thin-skinned. He didn't seem contrite today. Looks like the "crap" show will continue four games hence.
Btw, help me understand the terms here. If Marcus lied and told everyone Orr called him an n-word, is that considered "playing the race card"?
Thin-skinned and not contrite? He apologized directly to Orr and mentioned him by name, what in the hell did you want him to do?
We also have no idea if Smart told anyone that Orr said something racist, I tend to think that he didn't because of how Ford acted in the press conference. You still sore about that back flip?
Wwwwwwwwwhat? (Chappelle as L'il John). That Marcus is thin-skinned shouldn't be controversial. It's clear that no one would conduct that kind of behavior, so he was just saying what he had to say. Regarding his level of contrition, I did specify that he didn't seem contrite - and that is obviously a personal opinion, but I axe you, did you feel like his apology was heartfelt? I did not. I don't think he gives a crap.
Yes
Do you then expect his comportment will have changed 4 games hence?
I'm not sure what him being a back-flipping, crybaby, flopping douche has to do with him being sorry about pushing that man and getting suspended when his team needs him the most. Maybe you can help me with the correlation?
Just saying this whole "I'm sorry, I let my team down, I won't let that happen again" thing is becoming a pattern.
So in your mind because he kicked that chair he couldn't possibly be contrite about either apology? After you apologize for something you then have to be mistake free?
Huh? What? Yes, that's exactly what I said.
If you insist on being argumentative, I will acquiesce that it really doesn't matter to me in the end what Marcus Smart does or says. Just reading his body language and tone, this amateur psychologist doesn't think Smart gets it. But, it's his life and, more importantly, my entertainment. As a consumer of the college basketball product, I suppose I should be grateful for the show that is Marcus Smart. Maybe that's the better way to think about it, because I've long been a proponent of not using sports figures to teach morality. I'm not a stakeholder in OSU athletics, so Marcus Smart owes me nothing.
Then again, I don't know Marcus Smart. I don't know his heart...
