Technically the Can Am may not be considered a motorcycle. Upon its introduction, some states did not know how to classify the Spyder and some did not reqire a motorcycle endorsement to legally operate it. Not sure of the situation in MD.

What makes West such a great "wing defender?" Because the local media hypes that he is? Then why has he never received one single vote from the coaches for the All-Defensive Team in his entire NBA career? It's a valid question.

There's another guy who the local media also gave ridiculous defensive plaudits, a guy who also never received one single vote for the All-Defensive Team in his entire career. What's Ira Newble doing these days, and is he burning up the Darfur highways armed for World War III on his custom Batcycle?

Simple truth. Other city's athletes, such as Ben RothbeatheBrownsberger rolls a motorcyle, he's back on the field in months. Cleveland athletes, like the ever-lovable Kellen Winslow, are out for years, and useless when they come back. So, now contracts have no-motorcyle, no-offseason sports, and no-nosepicking clauses. How about a "No Cleveland Curse" clause? Just might lead to some on-field success.

Cut him? Cut one of the best role players and wing defenders in the eastern conference?

My question would be if the guns were obtained legally, how was this possible?

In Maryland, police are directed to deny a gun permit to someone whose mental or social functioning is "substantially impaired," making treatment "necessary or advisable."

If West has had treatment for Bipolar disorder, I would think that would qualify for denial of a gun permit.
