Did he pronounce “cynicism” as “skin-i-cism?” That was jarring.
Screamin’ A does make some reasonable points. And he was one of the few national media people to hammer Ben on Tuesday while you had people like Mina Kimes and Dan Le Batard coming out and pointing the finger at Philly fans, after they spent two years previously ripping Simmons. The whole thing is a big convoluted mess. When Markelle Fultz said “you really can’t trust no one,” he may have been talking about the national media, because they’ll turn around and blame Philadelphia any chance they get. It’s an outrage.
