  • was he tee'd for grabbing the rim?
    what was funny was the way he strutted around like a banty rooster. sure this isn't an 8th grade game?
  • Great job moron. Any fat baby huey can hang on a rim and break it. Then he is proud of what he did....

    Nice job moron, now you can't finish the game.
