I just ran across this as I was cruising through NBA.com. It's Charlie V's NBA.com blog. He explains his side of the incident it goes as follows......
VAREJAO-ILGAUSKAS INCIDENT
Okay, now let’s get into some juicy stuff…. as you guys may all know by now, there was a little altercation that occurred in the Cavs game last week, which involved Anderson Varejao and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Alright, here’s what happened: there was like 7-min remaining in the 4th quarter, we were down by like 3-pts. It was very intense game, especially with LeBron shooting the lights out, putting on a crazy show. I think Ilgauskas shot the ball, missed the shot, and Varejao got in good position to beat me to the rebound. I was mad at myself for getting out beat. I didn’t want him to go back up to make the shot, so I went to go grab his arm to prevent the put-back. I wasn’t even looking at him. I just reached out and went for the arm, but instead I grabbed his face accidently and swung my arm back. Now, I think Varejao over did it a little with the acting, but regardless it was a hard foul and I deserved the flagrant foul call. So I extend my apology to Varejao for the hard foul, I meant to grab your arm, not your face. Those who know me in the league know that I’m not that type of player. So that foul led Ilgauskas to react in a negative way and the guy just straight up went to my face. Obviously, when a game is that intense, and an unintentional hard foul occurs, your emotions can get the worst of you. Ilgauskas then got in my face, said some real nasty things, he shoved me slightly, here I’m thinking this dude is about to hit me because of the way he came at me, and I reacted at first by pushing him back, and then I did something that was very uncalled for out of heated reaction and defense, I grabbed him up. The whole thing could have been avoided, but one thing led to the other. It’s inexcusable and I was wrong. So I would like to publicly apologize to the Milwaukee & Cleveland fans for the wrong doings. Things like that are not part of the game and should be avoided. It’s important to learn how to control your emotions during intense game actions. I felt like because of my actions, which led to the ejection, cost us the game. I messed up. I need to learn from my mistakes, live and you learn. I feel awful about the whole thing, my bad guys.
He breaks down what happened and why he reacted the way he did and most importantly HE APOLOGIZED!!!!!! Yet I hear people bitching about Charlie and when they came to Cleveland after that he was booed. So I hope Ya'll read this and have a change of heart.
This is my blog everybody read it and weep. This blog will contain a little bit of everything sports entertainment politics (well not so much politics) and pretty much what ever i feel like blogging about. Everybody please enjoy.

Thursday
Wow 3 times this week and I have another entry. I'm coming along good with this. Also I'm a few chapters into my book too so wish me luck on that. I'm actually ahead of schedule I drew up a plan and as usual I'm not following it. Funny how shit goes huh? Here are my thoughts for the day.
Cavs get win 58. Better than the 91-92 team Congrats guys.
Bret Favre may be coming to Cleveland Browns Training Camp.................. As a visitor. Lol so funny. Who gives a you know what.
Sweet 16 begins tonite. I got Memphis over Mizzou, Nava over Duke (damn I'm betting against Duke) Pitt over Xaiver and UConn over Purdue. I went 15-1 last saturday hopefully I can keep it up.
Mike Vick is in the news again. Apparently he spent some pension money he wasn't suppose to Damn Mike you my dog (no pun intended) but you gotta chill dude.
American Idol had Motown night. Lil Rounds was good but the judges dogged her. PSA Idol is not for black people. Lil is the last one left and she will be gone soon. Megan Joy sould be going home but she is so damn fine she won't go anywhere.
Halle Berry was on Leno last night. I forgot how damn sexy she was she still got it. Sorry Michelle boo but Halle is still the hottest chick in the world.
There are rumors that Ransom and Hitchcock are planning a reunion.. Hope that happens we need a A-Team mixtape.
Okay I'm out Have a crazy wonderful day

Hump Day
It's mid week and it really ain't nuthing going down. I finally started my book. I'm gonna make a series of them and call them the Don P Chronicles. I have the ideas already the first one is untitled right now and is about a rapper striving for fortune and fame and will do anything to get there. I just got it goin and hope I complete it so I can get to the other stories.
The Cleveland Browns have a QB dilema..... what else is new this goes back as far as the 1960's with Frank Ryand and Jim Ninowski. I could keep going with Phipps/Sipe, Bernie and Vinny and the biggest of all Couch and Holcomb but I won't not just yet. But I will say this I feel bad for D.A. because no matter what if he wins people are gonna hate him if he losees everybody will hate him. I don't get the infatuation with Brady anyway. So what the y pissed away a first round pick on him, and he's from Ohio, and went to Notre Dame. I thought this was Buckeye country and everybody hated Notre Dame well at least ya'll act like it. Most importantly I don't care that girls thinks that he is cute. Last time I checked just because you were handsome or sexy doesn't mean that you can play ball if that was the case I would be the greatest of all time.
Anywho I can't believe I just blogged that long about the damn Browns. The NCAA's continue tomorrow and hopefully I win the bracket challenge I'm in so I can go out to Vegas. Go Memphis! Something I looked at in college hoops is the more things change the more they stay the same. The teams on top may change but the coaches are the same. Rick Pitino, John Calipari, Coack K, Roy Williams, always have teams at the top only one that hasn't changed schools is Coach K.
BTW I Overhauled the blog as u all can see The Halo theme is a good look. It actually jumped out at me plus I got tired of Gizmo staring at me.(lol)
Lil Kim is still around on Dancing With The Stars. Yeah I watch that shit can't help it. I got a thing for Kimmy. Don't know why I just do.
If Shawn Johnson wasn't so young I would say something about her but I won't. Why couldn't Nastia Lukin do the show?
Obama sonned that reporter last night I almost fell off my bed laughing.
Idol has a Motown theme tonite. Finally a theme where the remaing blacks on the show can get loose...... Too bad it's only one sister left Lil Rounds babygirl you better shut shit down tonite.
Has anybody else heard Method Man, Redman and UGK's joint City Lights??? Crazy shit.
Ok I don't have anything else to say have a crazy wonderful week.

Monday Blog
oI hat Monday's like a muhfucka man. But I gotta blog so fuck it.
My weekend was relaxing as fuck I'm doing great in my tournament bracket I'm actuall winning in one of them.
Ohio State Chokeyes HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
CSU beat Wake Forrest like they stole something.........
........ Then Arizona beat CSU like they stole something. Not mad at the Vikings just should've picked them in the first round is all.
Dayton won then they lost. Big up to the Flyers in Western Ohio.
Xaiver is the last Ohio team standing least they didn't choke like Ohio State.
Cavs remain hot this is their year I can feel it . They have every thing they need to raise the trophy this year.
Charles Barkley is at it again. Come on Cleveland what are ya'll getting mad for? It ain't like Chuck is lying. I LIVE HERE and think it's a piece of shit. It ain't nuthing here. Now how many of ya'll would step to Chuck if you saw him in the street? NONE.
I don't give a fuck what President Obama said on Leno. Besides you could barely hear him over the laughing crowd. White people ya'll need to sit down STFU and just accept that Obama is the BOSS!!!!!
Am I the only one who thinks Lady Gaga is kinda cute. She can and will get it.
My up and coming artist to watch goes by the name of Cali Miles she's a Cleveland girl with flavor and she talented too. Not to mention she is incredibly hot. Look out for her.
I'm finally getting ready to start my book. I have a plan to write like 4 or 5. One of course is the Bandwagon Fan. The others I'm gonna call the Don P Chronicles. Be on the look out for them.
CBS did a spectacular job on their coverage of the tourney this weekend. Clark Kellogg dropped the best line of the weekend. I think somebody snatched a rebound off the rim. Clark said teh rebound was "ammonia strong". Only a Cleveland dude could come up with that one.
Gus Johnson wasn't himself he only got excited a few time and that was during the last game of the day. I hope he does nailbiter games next weekend.

Random
I think this is what I'm gonna start doing at least once a week. Sometimes I really don't feel like fucking with this blog shit, but hey sometimes you gotta vent. Just some random shit for real for real.
NCAA tournament started: I won 15 out of 16 games on day 1 (fuck Clemson) I'm in like 5 different contest the one I really got a chance to win I prolly will get screw out of.
Dante Stallworth: Cot Damn son I hope it ain't true. I'll wait until the facts come out before I comment.
If I see that Octo Mom Trick one more time........ Don't you all realize that she did this to BECOME a celeb. That's whats wrong with the news they make people famous for no reason.
I think Duffy is sexy... Told ya'll this was random shit.
Can ya'll believe it's been a year since The Wire went off? Best show ever. Stay tuned for a blog entry about that.
Does anyone care about the World Baseball Classic? Just wondering.
There have been a few songs stuck in my head for the last few weeks. Case is back with Lovely, thats my joint I think thats gonna be the song I have my first wedding dance to. Next is Charles Hamilton NewGirlFriendMusic that why I like the Case song. Finally Slaughterhouse dropped 2 new joints in the past few weeks Fight Club and Wack MC's. Can't stop listening to them.
Happy belated to my son Kyren he turned 6 yesterday.
Finally The So Called sportstalkers in the city haven't replied so I guess I'll call them bitches by name. So if you see Aaron Goldhammer, Josh Sabo,or any of those dudes from WKNR tell the that Don P challenges them to a duel Around The Horn or First and Ten style live on the air and I guarentee that I will tear them up. Please pass the word.
Ok gotta run have a crazy and wonderful day. Go CSU, OSU, Dayton and Xavier don't choke like Akron did.

CSU Is Going To The Big Dance Now Ya'll Wanna Pay Attention
Oh Cleveland My city of Cleveland. Home of the hater lake effect snow, and front running fans. The Cleveland State Vikings finally climbed Mount Butler in the Hinkle Mountains last night and punched their ticket to the big dance by winning the Horizon Leauge Tournament. Funny thing is everybody wants to act like they are excited about this. Like they have been rooting them on all season. Where the hell were you people in the beginning? There aren't many fans here if there were then the Wolstein Center would've been packed every game this year. But it wasn't. You people screaming GO Vikes are probaly the same people who showed up at the Q last December rocking Scarlett and gray when CSU played OSU.
This city has more front runners than any city. This is my city and I love Cleveland but some of you guyus are front runners. Fans and media too. If you've been watching all season you know this team was gonna make the dance. You would've know that J'Nathan Bullock and Ced Jackson would will this team to the tourney. You know the kind of head coach Gary Waters is. All I'm saying Cleveland is stop being front runners so you don't be so suprised when a local team does good.

Laying The Challenge Down. Who Wants To Do It?
Everybody that knows me knows that I don't give a fuck. You also know how wack I think Cleveland radio is. Listening to those dudes pisses me off. Some of them dudes don't know jack shit only reason they on is because they have relatives already in the game. Well how about this? One of ya'll so called show host go one on one with me. I'm talking about full on one hour Around The Horn or First and Ten style. This is not no pub shit THIS IS REAL. I know that I can smash anyone of ya'll. Listening to some of you is like pulling out my own teeth. YA'LL SUCK EGGS. So this is my open invite to the folks at WKNR or my old stumping grounds at STC let's go. I guarantee I will shut you all down.
