Karl Malone at Texas Football camp
 
Mack needs to read up on the folks that he allows through the front door. This is not good PR by any extent of the imagination.

Family values? What's next, Barry Bonds going to come in and talk about how important it is to avoid steroids?
 
Rush Limbaugh on being polite and not making **** up
Donald Trump on thinking big and kicking ***....oh wait, he did that, bad example
Evander Holyfield talking about family values
Mike Tyson talking about keeping a level head
Roberto Duran talking about not punching guys in the balls
OJ talking about not killing your ex wife
Whitney Houston talking about sobriety
Fred Phelps talking about tolerance and sanity
Fans of the LA Lakers talking about morality
Fans of the OU Sooners talking about not being trailer park douchebags
Dr. Phil and John Edward talking about not being a fraud
 
Lawrence Phillips on treating women with respect
Cubs fans on how to win a World Series
Kelvin Sampson on ethics in sports (preface by Barry Switzer, closing by Jackie Sherrill)
This guy on doing a backflip
Byron Hanspard on making good grades
Dick Vermeil on keeping composure
Hitler on Tolerance
Matt Leinart on losing with class

I give up for now...
 
Maybe that jackass dirty playing sumbitch taught the guys how to use your legs and shins when driving to the basket. See, you plant them in the chest of whoever is guarding you to knock them down to the ground. It will be called a foul on them so that you can take an eternity in shooting your free throws.

**** you, Karl Malone. Horrible person to speak in this circumstance.
 
Props to him for bringing a group of kids to the camp, and for speaking about doing the right thing.... now, on with the show...

George Bush about caring about black people.
Dick Cheney about not shooting people in the face.
Bill Clinton about not being fellated by ugly, fat chicks.

Hoosier...I think you are the first poster to actually READ the article. Malone was not invited to the camp, nor was he invited to speak.

That said...

Karl Rove on not putting peoples lives in jeopardy, and not stealing elections.

Well someone invited him to speak, or at very least allowed him to. I get that he took it upon himself to bring a group of kids to the camp, but he didn't just stand up and start talking without the staff's permission.

Well for one how many of these kids do you feel read this article or knew about this? I didn't.. I guess there isn't any thing in your past that we could hold over your head years later. If this article is true to form then yes the man has things in his past hes going to have to answer for one day. But if you look at things from the other side everything he did for those three days were positive and those kids did nothing but benefit from it.
 
Maybe the guy is trying to make amends. I don't know the whole story, and doubt many, if any, do as well.

It is possible to learn from someone who has made mistakes in the past, Sounds crazy to some of you I know, but I'll give Mack the benefit of the doubt when it comes to counseling character. (See the post Rose Bowl speech)

I generally refrain from religous reference, because I am not so myself. But seems like I remember some reference to a story about "casting the first stone".
 
Whether he was invited or it was truly an impromtu speech, and I fully conceed the choice to be diplomatic and not interrupting a star athlete such as Mr. Malone if it was truly a surprise...

but at some point, someone on this staff chose to publish an article about Mr. Malone's speech and to get a quote from Mack regarding him. The author made the enormously unfortunate choice to refer to Mr. Malone's remarks regarding being involved as a parent and the timing relative to Father's Day.

That was a very poor choice in my opinion. And one I hope that the staff regrets and will not make again.
 
I think this proves that he has an autobot that makes appearances for him. It was programmed by the man who coached Chris Webber on proper time out usage.
 
Would you let your kid go anyhere near Malone, let alone to an out of town camp? I didn't think so! This is not good for UT in any respect! BTW, it appears Major kept his distance.
 
I'm just trying to figure out how an NBA player was only paying $125 a week in child support -- per the link at the top...

As somone who had to fight the "system" for my daughter, I hate to hear of people who could care less about their child or children.
