Stephon Marbury Has Found G-d

Probably, like it is for most people who find G-d, he moved the couch to vacuum, and there G-d was. It's always a smack-yourself-on-the-forehead moment when you realize G-d has been behind the couch the whole time. At any rate, Marbury went the born-again route on June 29 of this year, and had this to say following all of the publicity about his behavior from three years ago as laid bare in the Thomas as harrasser trial:

"One, it happened three years ago,' Marbury said. 'It's my personal business. People shouldn't snoop around your porch when they need to snoop around theirs. Everybody has skeletons in their closet. No one sin is greater than the other. So nobody can judge me and I can't judge anybody else. I can't get mad at how you feel about me. That's how you feel. How can I get mad at that?' Marbury added, 'Nobody's perfect and I'm not the same person I was three years ago. I can't try to convince anyone of that when people are writing things about you and they don't even know you. I'm never going to control how someone feels. You have to continue to try to live a righteous life, try to be as positive as you can and not live in a negative state of mind.'"

Well. Some quick responses Stephon:

1. Snooping around other people's closets is more fun. I know what's in MY closet, and am bored with it.

2. Actually some "sins" or, if folks prefer, wrong-doing, ARE greater than others. Nice try equivocating.

3. No, you can't convince folks who you "really are" who write about you. But you can't blame them for having formed some opinions of who you "really are" over the past ten years. You have not exactly been a shrinking violet in terms of publicity and stupidity.

At any rate, best of luck with your newly found G-d relationship. Please do not use that experience as a pick-up line for more intern humping. That's just wrong.

In January 2003, a group of sports-loving friends launched The Sports Frog. In the time since, we have become an oasis for intelligent sports discussion on the Web. That's right, we said oasis. If you are here for the first time be sure to swing by The Swamp and join the conversation.
