Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

Do you believe in second chances?

by The Thrill on Mar 3, 2008 7:20 PM PST

I'm not sure if anyone heard Rags today on the Razor an Mr. T but he said that Armando called him asking him to come back this offseason. And Rags said he was dead serious. One of the funnisest things I've heard in a long, long, long time. Do you guys think it would be a good idea, just for the comedy value?

Re: NO

I've gone ahead an made up the prototype! It's a litte rough around the edges, but I didn't get to where I am by making anything "polished."

Re: Do you believe in second chances?

After carefully considering the subject, I think we should pass on Armando Benitez. Hopefully another NL west team will gamble on him.

Re: Do you believe in second chances?

Ralph almost had a heart attack. And I almost drove off the side of the road. Rags said he is pretty sure Armando had no idea why the Giants wouldn't want him back. Poor guy.

If Chris Webber and Don Nelson

I stopped watching and pretty much stopped following the NBA when Webber and Nelson feuded to the point that Webber was traded and then Nelson let go the following season. It took a decade before I got interested again.
Now fifteen years later Webber and Nelson are back together. They have matured enough to get along. They also know they only have a few options left before their career is over. If Armando has changed in attitude and in skill, I have no problem with him coming back. He probably realizes he is near the end as well. You can forgive instantly but trust will only come with time.

Signing Armando Benitez

the only possible answer to the question: How could you make this team even worse?
