So that, oh, I dunno, he doesn’t say things on camera like:
The Star-Spangled Banner is going on right now, and I don’t celebrate that s*#@. I’m black.
Oh, murmur. Murmur murmur. Can I take back what I said yesterday and turn comments off?

He also doesn’t celebrate championships. But he will celebrate birthdays and big old doobs.

Two things Josh Howard Cannot Control What it Do:
1. The ball
2. His Own Mouth
Can I just point out that this footage was from the Allen Iverson charity flag football game which apparently featured, amongst others, MoNique? Playing center, I am assuming. Hell, she’s probably better at avoiding false start penalties than Andre Gurode.
@ 12:17 pm on September 16, 2008
Ssshhhhh! The Mavs are hoping to get a fifth-round draft pick for him and you’re messing it up.
@ 12:21 pm on September 16, 2008
Mavs shoulda traded him for Artest. Or a case of basketballs. Used basketballs would’ve been fine.
@ 12:22 pm on September 16, 2008
Ah, Josh Howard … the new Chris Jackson Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
@ 12:28 pm on September 16, 2008
And so begins the list of things we should have traded Josh Howard for:
Roy Tarpley’s Pot Brownie recipe
Two pairs of $15 Starbury sneakers
Stuff the Magic Dragon
Keith Van Horn

What a maroon. What an imbecile. What an ultra maroon.
@ 12:40 pm on September 16, 2008
Josh Howard might actually be mentally challenged. Somebody creative ought to make a funny anti-drugs psa poster or commercial and use Josh Howard pics/clips. This guy is a major league douche.

A better Mavs halftime performer than the dude who paints big paintings in 5 minutes;
A replacement for Chris Arnold;
Chris Kaaman;
A dime bag of oregano sold by Signalman Second Class Cecil O’Malley; or
Extra snark.

He actually GRADUATED from college. Wake Forest alums everywhere should be proud.

@ Wes Mantooth
Surely you’ve gotten to witness in person the breathtaking halftime gymnastic art of Acrobazia?:
So much for that whole “no name-calling on FrontBurner” thing, eh?
@ 12:58 pm on September 16, 2008
@amandacobra, I’d tried to forget everything involving the Great Failed Championship Run of 2006, including those guys. Somehow I recall them in blue spandex during their AAC appearance. Or maybe that’s just my fantasy life spilling over into my consciousness again, who knows.
That said, I agree with your greater than statement, although I would expand it:
Kids playing pickle buckets in VP for tips after the game > kick to the head > Acrobazia > Mavs Man > ice pick to the eye > Rangers Captain mascot > Chris Arnold
@ 1:05 pm on September 16, 2008
All I can say or do about this is to make it clear to Mark Cuban that I will spend no money to watch the Mavs, in person or on television, until Josh Howard is no longer a Maverick.
My measly ticket dollars might not add up to much, but I’m speaking as loud as I can with my WALLET.
@ 1:09 pm on September 16, 2008
Re Acrobazia: There is no reason for two sweaty guys in tights to be feeling each other up at halftime of a Mavs game.
New proposal for halftime entertainment: Punch Chris Arnold in the face.

@ 1:19 pm on September 16, 2008
No wonder Josh has an “Obama For President” sign in his yard.
Of course, he could have just confused Obama’s slogan of “Hope” for “Dope.”
@ 1:20 pm on September 16, 2008
He drew a J. before it so it celebrates his belief in J.HOPE
@ 1:32 pm on September 16, 2008
Bethany, I know how much pleasure grammar and punctuation bring to your life, so you will probably want to take another look at your use of “Cowboy’s game”.
@ 1:40 pm on September 16, 2008
Doh … Can I just say that I had an emotionally exhausting night last night?
@ 1:49 pm on September 16, 2008
He is an embarassment to this country.
I am so glad some of these classy gentlemen folk are multi millionaires and there are teachers who are suffering to make a living and proud Americans who cant focus on work because they are too worried about the price of gas…but they are still supporting the troops and this country.
His level of ignorance is nauseating.
@ 2:24 pm on September 16, 2008
Wow, I’m posting a daily watch to see when neighbor Josh’s house goes on the market.
@ 2:36 pm on September 16, 2008
And he doesn’t have a Obama sign in his yard.
@ 2:36 pm on September 16, 2008
Makes note to go to Amy’s for dinner.
@ 2:39 pm on September 16, 2008
I mean, with this kind of love, who’d want to stay?
@ 2:41 pm on September 16, 2008
He may not have an Obama sign in his yard, but he was seen at a Rev. Wright sermon.
@ 2:48 pm on September 16, 2008
Maybe the same woman who sang the National Anthem at last night’s Cowboys game was at this event. I’m as respectful of the Star-Spangled Banner as the next guy, but you have a right to boo when it gets the American Idol reject treatment.
@ 2:54 pm on September 16, 2008
@ PR – who cares? I mean we’re talking about JH, he’s not likely to be voted president.
@ 2:55 pm on September 16, 2008
@Tom at first I thought it was Tila Tequila. But I don’t watch that show.. I’m white.
@ 3:44 pm on September 16, 2008
Smoking dope doesn’t make you stupid….yeah, right. Maybe Cuban can make a documentary about him. Mark loves him releasing anti-American movies.
Stay classy, Mavericks.
Go Spurs Go.

Do any of you plywood patriots even know the real backstory behind the Star Spangled Banner?
Popular to contrary belief, the song wasn’t written just so you twerps can yell “STARS!!!” during the middle of it before every hockey game at AAC.
With that in mind, check it out: the Star Spangled Banner was a poem written almost 200 years ago, then set to the tune of an English drinking song. Unless we truly hold our alcoholic tendencies sacred, and especially in light of the fact Dallas Stars fans have co-opted the song for their own amusement, how is whatever Josh Howard said really that big of a deal?

FrontBurner® launched in March 2003, the first blog in Dallas run by a media organization. This is where the editors of D Magazine come to waste a tremendous amount of time.
