Video was funny and shows how funny Chuck is even off the air

But Dywer’s description for the video on yahoo is misleading and may get Chuck in trouble with Weight Watchers (I watched this video on yahoo after clicking a headline link saying WW was a "lucrative scam)… how many things can KD do wrong in a day…

Note: Chuck is calling getting paid to lose weight a scam as in him taking advantage of WW to get paid to do something he wants to do anyways, just like he calls broadcasting sports a scam, as in taking advantage of TNT to get paid to do something that he loves to do anyways. He isn’t calling WW or TNT scams in themselves.

Why would Dwyer's description get Chuck in trouble with Weight Watchers? I'm sure they would watch the video first.

Dwyer makes it seem like Chuck says Weight Watchers is a scam

Chuck could get in trouble for 2 reasons:
1. A Weight Watchers exec rings the alarm bell too early after reading the article and doesn’t understand the video (there are a lot of slow ppl out there)
2. The possibility that some people (and potential customers) perceive Chuck as calling WW a scam may causes negative publicity for WW, even if its not true Chuck called WW a scam

Note: I don’t know if Dywer amended his article amid the outcry in the comments section. I know he often amends his article based on the comments because they will point out his typos, wrong statistics, and wrong players/teams named in his articles.

Chuck couldn't be more right though

ATL is just a bunch of nice guys. The reason Dwight doesn’t want to be there though is because of ownership. He grew up watching their ineptitude.

But he was totally wrong when he said you have to have a "little hood in you to be a great player".

There is a long list of great players who would disagree with him.
