Chris Bosh out of touch



Bye bye Chris Bosh.
Sure Raptor GM Bryan Colangelo created a stir when he placed a proviso on Chris Bosh's final days as a Raptor.
Bosh said he was chagrined at Colangelo's mini rant about his dallied genuflection during the stretch run to the playoffs, which went to the wire with Chicago edging them out of eighth spot in the final game of the season. Said Colangelo:


Whether he was mentally checked out or just wasn’t quite into it down the stretch, he wasn’t the same guy. I think everybody saw that, but no one wanted to acknowledge it,” he added. “At the same time, I never felt we were quite in the game (in terms of signing Bosh to a new contract). There was too much out there, too much built up for him to take an easy out here, and he decided to do that.”




Bosh was hurt about the cruel cut.
Says he's an athlete. 
A professional. 
Plays 110 percent at all times. Says he was taught that way. Heres what he really said via Yahoo.
Poor Chris.
Poor poor Chris. 
Forgive me my trespass and the fact that I think it's all a load of hooey. Bovine excrement.
Sack up and be a man Bosh and for christ's sake don't lead us on this red herring çhase of claptrap about how much you love Toronto.
Just sail silent, sanguine and salient into that fucking Miami sunset.
We don't believe you.
Love the blog, but you're a goddam professional athlete and you should know that when you joined Miami and insinuated with a poppinjayesque reference to collusion three months prior to the events and the rapidly situated juggernaut on South Beach, well, a lot of Toronto fans and media types wondered aloud just how into TDOT you really were.
Fair comment Chris.
We know one thing about sports.
The team is greater than the sum of its parts. Colangelo is well aware of that axiom.
It's why coaches get fired. When the sum of the parts ends up being less than the talent laid out on the floor.
The difference between the whole and the pieces?
Desire. Commitment. Determination. Feeling part of the whole.
Sorry Chris. But you're just another bandwagoneer with a cynic's sneer and a what's in it for me attitude.
You had me at hello seven years ago.
And now ... just great to say goodbyue.
And don't let the door hit you on the ass as you fly gently into that good nite.
