at least someone had the wisdom to print this: Nonetheless, the AP notes, the fight has “marred the orchestrated harmony” of his visit to China.Really? You think so? Idiot. You might have thought that a reporter would consider the bludgeoning of the press corps at Biden's speech to be a slightly more significant marring of the carefully orchestrated harmony. |

I don't know what if anything the university is doing to keep this from exploding in our faces like a Harbin meth lab, so I'll praise even the lowliest of the ESPN commentariat for their efforts. |

They are going to talk about it now on around da horn on ESPN Quick summary: Bill Plaschke: Didn't understand why Chinese were suddenly so aggressive to foreigners. Said it bodes poorly for NBA palyers wanting to play there. Bomani Jones: "Georgetown got bum-rushed." Wondering about how the fan in the khaki shorts got out there, too. Jackie MacMullan: Chinese at fault, they have a habit of turning on teams. (Bomani wins and pulls up the Ric Flair belt.) |

The Moses footage truly is scary. It looks like the chairs were the plastic seat/back variety rather than the metal chairs you see in WWE TLC matches and the like.

Just watched Around the Horn also and appreciated the sentiment. It seems like the energy has shifted pretty clearly once the video was released. After spending most of the day being both: upset at how the trip has been ruined for these kids and concerned about the perception of the program, I now can turn to one of the points made on ATH - I'm Angry at what happened to these kids.

It's very clear that Jason shoved the player in that video, not punched him. He then got shoved back in the face by one guy and shoved to the ground by the other as he tries to get away.

The Gtown student shirt this year has to have some sort of reference to this!! There have been several nominations in this thread alone. Apologies if this has been said before (I haven't been able to.read the entire thread) but how about "it takes a nation of billions to hold us back?" |

Its unfortunate that our two biggest players (Moses and Tyler) were not available to play in this game. Maybe they could have kept the Chinese size and physicality at bay (both in the game and the ensuing chaos).

For some reason, I doubt the Athletic Department will look too kindly on any t-shirts referencing this incident. |

The video also clearly shows JT3 running into the melee to break it up. I didn't catch that as clearly from the video at first glance on the Internet. Mex Carey, Chris Golski and all the assistant coaches as well. |

Thanks for the support but we don't need references to other sites where ill-informed invective is being spewn nor do we need the profanity.

Slogans may not be necessary at all, on further reflection. A few color modifications and other various enhancements are required, but other than that, here is your 2011-2012 WAG shirt: tinyurl.com/3bo9wc2 |
