11/19/25 Show 286 : HOW MUCH RON ARTEST CAN YOU TAKE?

today’s show marks the 21st anniversary of what came to be known as “Malice At The Palace”, the (in)direct inspiration for Wizznuttz’ amazing reinterpretation of Picasso’s “Guernica”, aka “Aubernica”. For all the seismic changes the incident brought about in spheres of professional sports and crowd control, it is deeply regrettable “Aubernica” does not occupy space in a public gallery (aside from, well, this post), but we live in different times.  If I want to watch the clip of Jermaine O’Neal hitting some random schmoe into the next stratosphere, I cannot do so without getting a sponsored ad for a megachurch. 
 
 I’d have loved to really dive into all of this on this week’s program but a) EVR only gives me two hours, and b) I didn’t check the calendar until after taping.  SO SORRY.
