Josh Howard Disrespecting the National Anthem
Walker Sports —
Josh Howard just can't seem to keep his mouth shut. Last year this time we were talking about his weed habit. Now apparently Howard wants to throw his hat into the political arena and share his views with the world. Judging from his comments on this video, we learned 2 things:1) He may want to refine his message just a ...

Josh Howard Disrespecting National Anthem At Allen Iverson Charity Flag Football Game
FanIQ Blog —
Josh Howard has got himself back into the spotlight again with some questionable decision making. In this world where just about everything a professional athlete says makes it to the Internet, the Mavericks forward probably should have avoided his disrespecting of the national anthem.
At Allen Iverson's Charity Flag Football game held in July, Howard is shown in this YouTube video saying, "The Star-Spangled Banner' is going on. I don't celebrate this (expletive). I'm black." He also utters something that has to do with Barack Obama, but I can't exactly discern what he ...
Josh, you rapscallious bugger!
ShamSports.com: The world's ugliest NBA website —
Josh Howard! You wild thing! You smoke weed! You drive too fast! You claim not to respect the national anthem when the viewing audience of millions aren't around to see your protest! What kind of a crazy bastard are you?!?!?!? Is there no end to your rebellious ways? Will you shave a word into your head? Will you wear a hat at a provocative angle? Will you wear your shorts below your knee line? Will you flip off David Stern next time he turns his back to you? (Something which he may well do.) Will you go around calling Donyell Marshall, Donyell Darshall? ...
NBA Training Camp Starts Next Week
ZONQ Sports —
Something hasn't come up that quick since my last trip to an all-you-can-eat buffet. Oklahoma City just announced what their team name was going to be and we're already in training camp? Crazy. The big news, besides Josh Howard's disrespect of the Star Spangled Banner two months ago is that Gilbert Arenas will be missing in action yet again, this time until at least December as he had his third surgery on the same knee. This is really sad because when healthy, Gilbert is an elite, top-5 player in the NBA. Now he's been reduced to just another Grant Hill. ...
Josh Howard National Anthem Video
RightFielders Women in Sports —
Have you seen the Josh Howard National Anthem video circulating around the web? See photos and the video of Josh Howard below. Dallas Maverics star Josh Howard is in some hot water for comments he made during the playing of the National Anthem in July. He was participating in Allen Iverson’s celebrity football game and when a cell phone camera panned to Howard during the Anthem, he said:“The Star-Spangled Banner’ is going on. I don’t celebrate this [expletive]. I’m black.” Maverics owner Mark Cuban told the Dallas Morning News that the issue was addressed in July:“I have explained to him that cellphone cameras are not your friend and that what ...
So Much For Josh Howard’s Presidential Aspirations
Can't Stop The Bleeding —
As you’ve probably heard by now, the Mavs’ Josh Howard found himself the subject of considerable criticism after telling a cellphone candid cameraman he’d rather not observe the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner” because “I don’t even celebrate that shit. I’m black.” Hardwood Paroxysm’s Corn observes, “there may be plenty of reasons for one person or another to not salute the flag during the National Anthem. But being ‘black’ is not an excuse.”
Perhaps Josh Howard is deliberately trying to ...

With the DLIA losing well over 8% of its value this week and the (infinitely more useful) S&P losing more than 9%, some of us at BNB have been very busy (especially for those involved with the markets...and everyone's 401k!) Anyways, its limited my posting ability...but "chit happens." Obviously the Philadelphia Eagles (of this BNBer's favorite team status) played in one hell of a game Sunday and is the highest rated MNF of all time. More to the point, both teams displayed series moxie and proved that they are both serious contenders and even Dr. Z ranks them 1st and 3rd respectively To baseball, the ...
Defending Howard
Mavs Moneyball —
I know most of us around here are pretty upset with what is arguably the last straw for Josh here in Dallas, but some have chosen to take at look at it from a different perspective.
Freedarko.com lists 10 points to defend Josh. Here are 3 of the 10 points...
-I am not suprised that some African-Americans have some animosity toward the United States of America. Are you? -Millions of dollars doesn't change certain feelings, at least in people who cared deeply about them beforehand. If Howard had been angry, and wasn't now, we'd call him a sell-out. -There are some things that you say among your own, that you ...

Artest Blames Howard’s Anthem Rant on Education

Derek Jeter was right: the cell phone is the bane of the modern pro athlete . Then again, Jeter isn’t stupid enough to get caught slamming the National Anthem on a cell phone video that is going to then be uploaded to YouTube and seen by millions of people.

Some people differed when I said Howard was going to go in the same off-court direction as these other highly talented defenders.
Howard pulled an off-season hat-trick of PR-devastating antics, following up MJ confessions and extreme driving exercises with disrespecting the national anthem.
‘The Star Spangled Banner’ is going on right now. I don’t even celebrate that (expletive). I’m black.
I'm sure it was just an off-the-cuff joke in bad taste. Now while I think its all well and good to say stupid stuff ...

It’s not a good week to have money invested in the stock market and it hasn’t been a good week or two for some NBA people either. Here’s a look at 3 NBA stocks that have taken a hit this week…
Washington Wizards - What a brilliant move by Agent Zero to sign a $111 million deal and then just 2 months later announcing you’ll be having yet another knee surgery and will miss at least the first month of the season. The Wizards are just praying this doesn’t turn into another Allan Houston or Grant Hill situation. Washington fans are already too ...
Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban's Response to Josh Howard's Star Spangled Disrespect
Amphibious Sports Duo —
On his Blog, Mark Cuban had this to say about Josh Howard's comments: "I wanted to thank all of you who took the time to email me with your comments on how best to deal with Josh. They were so good, I thought I would share a few of them with everyone. Including the email addresses of those who were bold enough to use real email addresses. Josh realizes his comments were wrong, he understands why people are upset. He knows he has made a mistake, has apologized and will work with us . Beyond that, its a private issue." Cuban then goes on to display a bunch of emails he received from outraged people. At first glance the Cuban ...
Dismiss Josh, But Give Pause To His Sentiments
SLAM Online —
There is a passage from W.E.B. DuBois’ “Returning Soldiers” that has stuck with me since the moment I read it. DuBois wrote: “We return. We return from fighting. We return fighting.” It was meant to illustrate how Afros risked their lives in WWI for America and the free world, only to come back to America, still toiling under the oppression of Jim Crow. DuBois’ prose always put the black-plight for that era in focus: the juxtaposition of being called upon to sacrifice for the most grave and seemingly noble of missions, but returning home to a trivial, demeaning and emasculated standing in the good ...
What do you celebrate Josh Howard?
Sports Crackle Pop —
I know this video is a couple days old, but here it is. Josh Howard saying that he doesn’t “celebrate the national anthem because he is black”. I could probably write a long rant about this, but some people will definitely take it the wrong way. So seriously, what do you celebrate?

Ball Don't Lie —
If you ask Josh Howard a question, he's going to give you a straight answer. The North Carolina native isn't afraid to say what's on his mind. You might not always agree with what he has to say, but you've got to respect the fact that he isn't going to give the same old answer, like so many other professional athletes these days.
Howard's name has been in the news again recently because the Mavs' forward doesn't want to leave Dallas. As you'll see from this interview, he also doesn't want to miss the chance to be part of a reality-TV hit in the making ...
