Can’t We All Just Get Along With Rider?

Put those poison pens down, L.A. Times scribes, and back off a few paces. Never, not even with Dennis Rodman, have I read such bloodthirsty columns by a group of hacks as I have read in last week’s columns and all directed at Isaiah Rider!

You guys must be mighty thin-skinned if the comments Rider directed toward you affected you this seriously. This guy can’t pass gas without one of these clowns laying responsibility for L.A.’s air pollution on Rider.

I, for one, am in Rider’s corner 100%. I hope he ends up wearing the ring and you guys end up wearing egg on your faces.

Phil Jackson has every right to bench Isaiah Rider. Rider is lucky he still has a job. Ninety-nine percent of Americans wouldn’t have a job if they behaved like Rider. The Lakers are better off without him. He should be thankful he’s a Laker.
