How To Sound Like An Idiot: Ron Artest Getting Drunk at Halftime

Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t even know where to begin. I’m flabbergasted. Rotoworld:

Lakers forward Ron Artest admits he used to drink alcohol during games while he was on the Bulls.

“I used to drink Hennessy … at halftime,” said Artest, who played with the Bulls from 1999-2002. “I (kept it) in my locker. I’d just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it.” This is very shocking news and it will be interesting to see what David Stern has to say about this one. Owners should hope that Artest is not disciplined so long after the fact.

David Stern just passed out and died in his office. I can’t believe that Artest is this stupid. It’s one thing for an athlete to have an alcohol problem, as we’ve seen that way too many times in the past. I don’t think that’s the problem here. The problem is that he is just far too dumb for his own good.

Is it bad that I have nothing more to say? That should show you the kind of esteem that I hold Artest in.

Maybe he was drunk for the brawl. That would at least be some kind of explanation.
