ISIAH THOMAS THROWS OWN DAUGHTER UNDER THE BUS

    WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUY'S DAMN PROBLEM!?

    From ESPN:

    NEW YORK -- A suburban police chief likened the conflicting accounts of an accidental overdose at Isiah Thomas' home to a "cover-up" and rebuked the former New York Knicks coach Saturday for saying it was his teenage daughter who required treatment.

    "It wasn't his daughter," Harrison Police Chief David Hall told The Associated Press. "And why they're throwing her under the bus is beyond my ability to understand."

    Authorities were called early Friday to Thomas' Westchester County home, where police said a 47-year-old man was taken to the hospital and treated for an overdose of sleeping pills. Several media outlets reported that police confirmed it was Thomas who went to the hospital.

    But reached on his cell phone Friday, the 47-year-old NBA great told the New York Post he had not been treated for a sleeping pill overdose, and that it was 17-year-old daughter...who had a medical issue.

    It "wasn't an overdose," he told the newspaper. "My daughter is very down right now. None of us are OK."

    Hall forcefully refuted Thomas' statement.

    "My cops ... know the difference between a 47-year-old black male and a young black female," Hall said.

    "These people should learn something from Richard Nixon -- it's not the crime, it's the cover-up," he added.


    This cop is a little over the top comparing an embarrassing accidental overdose cover up to Watergate. Relax! These kinds of stories prompt normal people to make wild pitches to be national celebrities, like that d-bag judge in whatever that Anna Nicole case was about. I don't remember, custody something, but I do remember the judge being a blubbering self-indulgent mess. This cop isn't nearly as bad, but please, officer, leave the hyperbole to the bloggers, alright? We're semi-professionals, practically.

    Still, he's right. For Isiah to deny it was him and then to say that his "daughter is very down" while speculation swirls that it was a suicide attempt that brought the ambulance.... that's a new low even for Isiah. He would rather tell the Associated Press that his daughter is suicidal than take the fall for accidentally overdosing on a non-lethal drug. His pathological redistribution of blame has made turns from the annoying (while playing), to the financially disastrous (CBA days), to the surreal (coaching the Pacers), to the hilarious (leading the Knicks), to the ridiculous (the sexual harassment trial)... and now we have reached the "completely depressing" stage. It's not even as though he had something to be ashamed of, it looks like he just took too many sleeping pills. Who cares? But throwing out the insinuation that your daughter is suicidal is just sad. She's 17! You're supposed to protect your goddamn kids, Isiah! The national media is no place for herSource URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/10/isiah-thomas-throws-own-daughter-under.html
