I've seen alot of these around the Internet and I thought about putting one for neowin. Give a reason why you chose the person.

I think the detroit fans are at fault because one of them threw that bottle and the flying chair did not make them look any better, anyone would do what he did! Just put yourself in his shoes.

Fans should never try to hit Players or Disrespect them at all.

BUT RON ARTEST THROWING PUNCHES @ Fans. All I know is that if my boy was being punched by a Athlete, I'd be throwing punches back and chairs and beer and popcorn and will look for revenge when they come back into Town.

I voted Artest, but I think that the fans are at fault as well. Though Artest is more responsible for the the brawl than the fans...

If the fan wouldn't have thrown the soda cup at Artest he wouldn't have jumped up swinging, but he is the professional and when you are a profesional performer/entertainer, for lack of a better description, you should have a thick skin.

Being a Detroiter myself, I am a bit ashamed at the free for all attitude that came from the fans. There's no reason that the fight should not have stopped with Artest and that one guy that he initially punched.

Fans, players, and security.

Security was non-existant...how did a fan even get onto the floor to square off with Artest? If I'm Artest, I'm hitting that dude. The floor is the players' only safezone, that is their territory, same as the stands for the fans. He shouldn't have went into the stands but the fans shouldn't have thrown anything either.

The NBA is going to crap. It's been going on for awhile now and they've done nothing about it...they deserve this. They always hype all of this garbage and we, as fans, put these guys up on the pedestal. They are just athletes, nothing else. They mean nothing in the big picture. And fans take this garbage too far as well. It's a game, get over it.

As Michael Jordan once said, "Nobody is bigger than the game, not you, not Michael Jordan, nobody."

I agree that the fan shouldn't have thrown that beer or cup whatever @ him while he was lying down, but IF I was @ the game and saw Artest, Jackson, O'neal throwing punches @ my fellow fans (I'm not a Detroit fan, just saying it into perspective), just imagine one of your friends being punched or thrown down by somebody, you know he'd have your back.

This makes me wonder if athletes should go through college and receive a degree before entering the NBA (<--- that was a joke everyone).

LOL; sorry I'm just a little stressed out to see Professionals throwing punches @ fans.

Well, all I know is Artest was cool, laying down on the scorer's table, relaxing after the altercation with Wallace. This never would have happened if the dude didn't throw the water bottle, period. He fouled Wallace hard, Wallace pushed him, and he backed away.

Athletes really have issues today. Look at Clemson and South Carolina. Think they didn't try to emulate the NBA game? Too much of this thug image, it's corroding the sports.

The other reason I think that contributed to this was the fact that there was barely any security officers. Someone could have gotten killed or worse..mugged(did I get my priorities wrong?) just joking but seriously someone could have really hurt someone so thats looking on the bright side. but Im looking forward for their next game together which convieniently is on christmas day lol I have gotta to watch that!

Same.  :D

What? there was another fight? I dont watch football so fill me in on it

Since I'm from MI...I have to support my Detroiters on this one....if Artest hadn't been do dam dramatic, then that guy wouldn't have thrown that drink at him. If I were that guy...I would have done the SAME thing. ...and when Artest could have just shrugged it off or even stopped playing in that game, he climbed into the stands and punched that guy. I don't think it was fair that Ben Wallice and Billips were suspended though. Man if I were one of the people Artest punched...he would be having lawsuits comming out his butt by now.

I look at it two ways.

1st -- Ben Walllace overreated to a foul that should have been shrugged off. I believe being handled the entire game finally got to most of the Pistons and caused a lot of hostility.

2nd -- The fans. If the fans would have not thrown things at Artest, he would not have gone into the stands and everything would have been settled between the players.

You can look at it a lot of different ways that I do. I see them all, but I honestly think it boils down to Ben Wallace.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
