Qyntel Woods...dogfighting charges end NBA career
Hoo-freaking-ray!

Story is here:

But the best thing I read about it, was on abcnews, from the team prez:

"Qyntel was waived as a result of material breaches of the contract with the Trail Blazers organization and for failure to comply with team rules," Trail Blazers president Steve Patterson said in a statement released by the team. " Paul Allen has made a commitment to this community and as I have said from the time I came to this organization, our fans and this city can have the expectation that we will do the right thing. From the moment we were made aware of this disturbing situation, we have acted quickly and in a strong manner by suspending Qyntel and cooperating with authorities. In light of today's developments, it is clear that the Trail Blazers and Qyntel Woods must part ways. We are confident that this action is both justified and appropriate."

1. Good.
So sad. What could be entertaining about watching dogs kill each other??

I wonder if he will get another multi-million dollar contract with another team? :eyes:

4. Glad to see he's getting what he deserves for now at least
He's a great basketball player and a great guy and I look forward to seeing him get back on the court."

Funny, great guys I know would be appalled at something as disgusting as this.
