Live from the Valley of the Suns....

On the virtual pages of this virtual publication a smear attack was recently perpetrated against beloved Sun Steve Nash.

Described as a "Pompous Ass" in a hideous and unprovoked personal slander (not technically a slander so you lawyers can crawl back into your holes) Nash was derided for his comments related to the Suns' chances to succeed without his considerable talents. Despite the two-time MVP's obvious decline and the widely accepted need for the Suns to improve their defense and depth fans came quickly to the defense of their mature point guard known for his lock-down defense. 

The insult's author - a blogger cowardly hiding behind the alias "Phoenix Stan" - recanted his/her comments admitting for the first time that "Steve Nash is NOT a pompous ass".

Phoenix Stan went on to defend his/her premise however that the Sun's plans to rest Nash were in fact beneficial to the Suns' chances. In a defiantly pompous statement issued from his/her mother's basement Stan stated:

"Many people and bloggers think that if Nash doesn't play in 12 games that the Suns wouldn't be able to even make the playoffs. That's ridiculous. If the Suns are so reliant on Nash that they can't afford to rest him for 12 games then what's the point of making the playoffs anyway? Everyone that doesn't see that is clearly a pompous ass. All of them!"

Obviously Stan, despite recanting the "Pompous Ass" pejorative, is not ready to let this controversy die. Perhaps publicity is all he/she seeks? Only time might tell.

 ...is it October yet?
