Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
From the "wah-wah" category: So in the midst of all the discussion of the NBA Players' Union meeting and it's true mission and the role of stars in its makeup is the example used of Joey Dorsey, second-year man for the Rockets who was selected much to his befuddlement. As Ira Winderman wrote for Pro Basketball Talk, Dorsey was selected on account of him having to travel to Dallas anyway, for the NBA D-League All-Star Game on Saturday afternoon (continuing coverage on NBA FanHouse, get excited!). Funny story, though. The D-League sent out a memo this afternoon announcing replacements for various reasons: among them was Dorsey, being replaced because he had been recalled from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers to the Rockets based on his outstanding play. Recalled players are ineligible to play in the All-Star Game (read: you try forcing a guy who just got out of the D-League to go play in the All-Star game and see how that works out. Plus, it's an opportunity to give another player a look in front of scouts at the event.), so Dorsey's been replaced.
So Dorsey, who didn't understand why he was selected in the first place, and who found out he was selected by his agent, is attending a meeting on matters he knows almost nothing about, because it was convenient to send him because he was already going to Dallas anyway, even though the reason he was going no longer exists, meaning there was absolutely no logic in sending him to the meeting.
Yup, union's in good hands versus Stern's onslaught.
