Business…this month on the BSN, I talk about John Chaney and what might be his final days on his job. Enjoy.
And sadly, the sports world is requiring that I continue to make clear parts of the G-Code. This time, Kobe Bryant is not the impetus of this discussion. This time, it’s Wake Forest point guard Chris Paul.
I hereby say that we either need to find the following clause on the Code, or we need to add it should it not already be there.
Unless your life’s on the line, never purposely hit a man in his unborn kids.
Paul got suspended for the first game of the ACC tournament for the shot he delivered to NC State’s Julius Hodge’s “solo plexus” (where are my wrasslin’ fans at???). Now, Paul suffered unreal abuse from NC State fans that game, so I can see how he was a tad testy. Suckers were chanting that they killed his grandfather, who passed recently. That was foul, and those suckers need to get their minds right. Had he gone up in the crowd, I’d have understood it, stupid a move though that may have been.
But Hodge ain’t say nothin’ to the lil fella. Hitting him in the stones wasn’t the way to go. Hitting someone in the stones is only the right thing if there’s a pistol to your head, a knife at your throat, or a boot on your neck. As my buddy HSeuss says, there’s just some ways that you don’t play, and Paul learned that the hard way. I know somebody that once knocked the wind out of a seventh-grader for accidentally hitting him in the nuts…and that was one of his students.
And he’d drill the kid again under the same circumstances.
And I don’t think I fully blame him.
Ever taken a shot to the jubblies? ‘Tis bad news. If significant amounts of estrogen make it impossible for you to relate, just take my word–your world shuts down with a shot to the rocks. And even if the shot seems light, in the words of one A.L. Darity, it don’t take much. I’d rather take a big league fastball to the sternum than a beach ball to the testicles. I’d rather be slapped on the back of the head than take a Nerf to the crotch.
This might seem extreme to you, but it really might be that real.
And shouts out right now to my man Delaware Dave. Dave told us that Chris Paul was a little sucker a while ago, but we thought it was just him yapping (he said this during the Duke/Wake game, and he is an alumnus of the Devil’s school), but he’s onto something. Only a sucker thinks to do such a thing in less than dire circumstances.
Chris Paul, you are now a sucker. Violating the G-Code by hitting Hodge in his man-parts proves you ain’t got no G in ya.
G-Code Committee…what you got to say? Was this already in the Code? If not, can there be clear parameters written about when it is permissible for a grown man to hit another grown man in his boys?
Let’s go…

Agreed. But now we need to lay out what the acceptable response is. Suggestions include:
1) Tit-for-Teste – Retaliation in kind
2) A punch to the Adam’s Apple
3) At least one major limb gets broken
And for the ladies and/or other non-believers, think of it this way. You ever had pain so bad you wanna throw up? Now imagine it being so bad that your body shuts down to the point you can’t even do that.
There is no playing when it comes to the ‘nads. The only time it’s acceptable is when you or yours are in serious danger. Beacuase as bad as the pain is, it goes away eventually, and the next step is swift and blinding violence being visited upon the offender. The next time Wake plays the Pack, Paul better make damn sure he wears the strongest cup money can buy, even if he has to violate NCAA eligibility rules to get the cash.

Agreed. There is no excuse for hitting a man in his ‘producers suite’ unless your life is on the line. This Chris Paul character, should be publicly flailed.

I winced when I saw that. I think every man does. It’s a communal thing almost; the pain of the boys. One man gets hit, we all suffer.
For Julius’ sake, I only hope it was a direct hit. It’s been my experience that a direct hit is far better than the glancing blow. That pain don’t settle in for at least ten or twenty seconds. But when it does…damn. Kinda takes away your will to live. No words for that.

I say the only person that’s allowed to give shots to the Spaldings is Naitch, because he is the dirtiest player in the game (ain’t that right, Bo?).
But really, Chris Paul is definitely on the list now..He has broken part of the G-Code and must be punishedd..I say let’s condemn him to 6 months doing coaches’ pitch T-ball leagues..That will teach him never to mess with a man’s machinery..
But yeah..if a dude sees another get hit in the groin…we all feel that pain….Man I’ve been burned (fire), busted open, strawberry brusies from baseball and plenty ass whuppins at the hands of the parents..but there was NO PAIN GREATER than the pain that paralyzed me and made me mute that came from a blow to the man-parts.

G-code violations would be the least of the problems that sucka would have to worry about if he’d of hit me in the nuts. I applaud Hodge for retaining his composure after he retained his composure. Hodge had every right to get up and knock the hell out of that nigga. See you know what having been athlete myself, you have to take the good with the bad. Let’s face it fans are supposed to do what they can to throw you out your game, if you can’t handle the pressure then go play chess where it’s quiet and no cheering. The fact is when you get around drunken people in a heated rivalry game you have to expect anything. Maryland fans directed antics towards JJ saying things like they’ll “have sex” with his 12 year old sister while chanting fuck you JJ and all the time wearing shirts that said fuck dook!! As much as i hate JJ and DOOK he took it smiled and didn’t hit anyone in the nuts because he knew what he signed up for when he signed his letter of intent.
So to Chris Paul who acted like a total little kid on a play ground who wasn’t getting his way, pay back is a you know what and it’s coming please believe that.
To the G-code violations he violated the sentence he received didn’t fit the offense, Hodge should get the chance to hit that sucka in his kids that’s my opinion!!

wow. that last comment was reckless.
JJ Reddick may not have gone for the balls (from what I hear that’s something he saves for the post-game), but he did cry about it on espn. And he wrote really bad poetry. And I’m still shocked that JJ Reddick got accused of upholding the G-code.

They are always like that.
