Punzi's Corner Blog: A disgrace

A disgrace

I was shocked when I watched a certain Manny Salgado, assistant manager of the Green Archers, hack Arwind Santos at the back of the head with a closed fist. Talk about unsportsmanlike conduct.

Is that what you teach your kids (or grandkids)? Loose a game, hit the players? Did you loose a huge bet because of this game?

IMHO, that guy should not only be banned from the UAAP. We should see to it that characters such as these don't even lead mosquito league teams. Or even mosquitos. Just get bitten by one.

I would have more words to say to that guy in Tagalog but, Tatang, nakakahiya ka! (Old man! You're a disgrace!)

6 Objection(s):

At 8:47 AM, mama_aly said...: it was a good game. he didn't have to do that!
At 10:30 AM, rolly said...: i agree that what he did was deplorable. i wonder what was on his mind. i have always believed that it is not about winning the game but how one played it. The tamaraws won and that's that. Believe me, that was not only the mark of a non-gentleman, but more so, not Lasallian at all.
At 11:30 PM, duke said...: yay! what went wrong? it's supposed to be a good game...
At 7:37 AM, Punzi said...: According to news reports, he was trying to pacify them by Arwind uttered some words...He's an old guy and should have shown more patience...

The UAAP banned him for life (whatever's left of it...). Good riddance!
At 7:22 AM, Anonymous said...: La Salle deliberately called a time out in the final seconds of their game with Ateneo only to ridicule their opponents. Now, one of the team's managers on the sly backfists the nape of a FEU player who won the game for his team .... then runs away to avoid retaliation! Win or lose, the team has shown no class. Pity.
At 8:26 AM, Punzi said...: So now I'm thinking (again a very dangerous pastime...) even if this DLSU team won the championship they will... now and forever be... LOSERS!

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
