Matt Barnes Went to Jail Tonight
Well, this isn't good. The Sacramento Bee reports that Matt Barnes got tossed in the slammer Wednesday after a "physical confrontation" with a woman he's dating. He's been charged with felony domestic violence and maliciously obstructing use of a telephone line. Now out on bail, Barnes is due to appear in court on Monday.
Blech.
(UPDATE: Barnes told a Sacramento TV station tonight, "I was the victim but still got arrested." According to the police, both Barnes and the woman involved in the confrontation had visible injuries.)

Chargers showing a lot of interest in moving to LA:
Of the teams theoretically in play for L.A. (Vikings, Jaguars, Raiders if Al Davis were no longer in the picture), the Chargers have moved to the top of an increasingly short list, partly because Spanos has come into his own as an owner – and also because his sincere efforts to make a stadium work in the San Diego area have been met with civic indifference. "Without a stadium he realizes they can’t compete [financially], and he has legitimately tried to get one built," the aforementioned AFC owner says of Spanos. "His dream is to go to L.A., and it may happen."
Build the fucking stadium, NAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chargers are probably the most feasible solution other than the Jags and they suck so I don’t want them anyways.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
yeah
but if we can get a team out here, that would be great. They just need to start building the damn stadium.

Don’t you dare speak about my Chargers that way.
Everyone in this room is now dumber. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
i concur.
i would much rather have the jags at this point. build a team from the bottom up. the chargers already have a good team, and it would create a mch better rivalry if there was a team in san diego and la in the same division.

"I've hacked into your brain. You're throwing a party and no one's showing up."
I doubt this is the case, but let's wait for more information before we pass judgments either way
FWIW, the police report named Barnes the aggressor.
A police report said sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call from a residence where Barnes lives with a female with whom he has a dating relationship. The report said the two had been involved in a physical confrontation during which Barnes prevented the female from speaking to 911 operators. The report also said both parties had visible injuries and Barnes was determined to be the primary aggressor.

True. And Barnes is absolutely right in saying that.
But he shouldn’t suddenly become an advocate as a sort of defense. It makes what you just said look criminal.
In Bayless I trust.

Not good....
Here in Sac, Sac PD are kinda universally known to be pricks. But so is Barnes so we’ll see … Regardless, just seems real dumb. Walk away man. Walk away.
As a former journalist, the way the story was written, seems like it was hastily written and they don’t know much about it yet. Seems like a “It’s Too Big to Hold Until Tomorrow” story. I’m sure there will be much, much, much more about this tomorrow. Unfortunately.
I wanna be the first one to predict the “Na Na Na I Told You So Cut Him Now!” column by Platschke. Followed by the “No Way the Lakers Win Another Title Now Too Many Distractions” column. That guy is so predictable.

Well
In domestic cases somebody is going to jail. If he destroyed the phone line, or didn’t allow her to call, that’s going to be a felony, and would indicate he’s the aggressor. Too bad, we knew he was a tool, but this doesn’t bode well at all.

Somewhere ol' man Barnes of Barnes and Noble is rolling over in his grave.
This is not how the Barnes’s behave!
You think Ron is pissed that Matt is taking up his crazy PT?
Domestic abuse is sickening. That said, is it awful that I feel less horrible about Barnes hearing that they both had injuries?
I am not surprised that Barnes had a hard time controlling his temper and that he helped create a situation where someone else couldn’t control theirs. I am disgusted he let it get to this level, though.
Seriously, just drive off really fast in your Lambo like Rocky in Rocky IV and let some sweet 80’s music chill you out while you have a retrospective flashback.
If he'd just pay me what he's spending to make me stop robbing him, I'd stop robbing him.

I am hoping for a serious beat down.
I haven’t been following this team much because of the weird schedule but with all the trash talking by the coaches it just makes it more interesting.

This has been a rough game. The international community is rough on our US team, which is making me all the more ardent as a fan. They are setting screens INTO Durant, and whining and moaning at it being called a foul.
