Oh my bad, i didn't realize you personally has so many billions invested in the game! Excuse me for questioning your passion on this issue.
Its just a classless, UUU phrase and is easily misunderstood to the lame, which is why he said it. He could have said "can you still fly?" For the same effect.
Okay...
I don't disagree with that, but that's a different point altogether. The issue we we were talking about was if the question Rome asked was fair or not.
I really doubt the majority of fans have suspicion about the draft lottery tho. That's more a topic that die hard fans and media types care about. Most NBA fans couldn't tell you who their team drafted let alone what happened during the lottery. You'll see people on twiter say it's rigged because it's got to the point that the media says it's rigged so much that the defacto reaction is to say it's rigged no matter who wins.
I don't care if it's fair or not. It's a dumb question because Stern was never going to answer it. Like I said earlier, you think people would still be wondering who shot JFK if someone could just walk up to the CIA, ask them directly, and get a real answer? Stern's too smart to ever answer that question.
Because Stern would most likely ask him to prove it. Then Rome would say "That's ridiculous, how do I prove I didn't do something?" and then Stern would say "Exactly
My point was that people was talking about the Paul trade after the lotto.
i was addressing the logic behind "either way Rome answers he looks guilty", not someones rhetorical question. i've said that a few times now.
That's the thing. Do you think Rome thought that Stern would say "yes i rigged the lottery." He asked the question because his listeners wanted him to ask Stern. Could he have framed the question in a different way? Sure, but the question is not out of line at all.

Its a law tactic rome was smart enuff to avoid it since he didnt know how to properly respond. They called loaded questions Law schools use it as an example of one that cannot be asked in court.
They use it because there is no way to answer it and not come off as a wife beater. If you say yes, then that means you used to beat her. If you say no, that means you still beat her.
