... a Game 4 loss to New Orleans in the playoffs. It's clear Howard hasn't exactly grasped the whole new media deal, but I'm pretty sure what Howard said was exactly how it sounded on the video. It's certainly news to me that the Star-Spangled Banner isn't a favorite among the black community.

A Daily Babble Production The wake of the latest Josh Howard-induced media firestorm seems to have once again brought forth the conundrum athletes face with regards to their public remarks. If they keep their commentaries brief, vague and focused only on the games they play, fans and media alike criticize them for being generic and full of coach-speak. If they speak candidly and go beyond the framework of PR-savvy sports cliche, they catch heat when people disagree with their views, often with much fervor. Indeed, there are some cases where we make it rather tough on ...
