Artest talks retirement

Even when Ron Artest is busy taking off games to appear in court, he still finds the time to create controversy for his club. Word is spreading that Artest has been text messaging some of his Sacramento Kings teammates saying that he wants to retire at season’s end to spend more time with his family—and no doubt work on another rap album.

Good for you Ron. You’re finally getting your priorities straight. You can use that extra quality time to visit the pet store. And to smack your wife around more often. And if she doesn’t like the new album, try taking it out on the kids. It’ll make you feel better, and show her who's boss.
