It was only a matter of when, not if. Despite missing the entire preseason and the Memphis Grizzlies' first three regular-season games because of a hamstring injury, Iverson complained in his first game back. “I've never been a reserve all my life and I'm not going to start looking at myself as a reserve,” said Iverson, who apparently has forgotten that he came off the bench with Detroit last spring. “To answer the question, no, I'm not a bench player. I'm not a sixth man. Go look at my resume and that will show you I'm not a sixth man.” Kelly Dwyer of Yahoo Sports looked at Iverson's accomplishments, including his hasty departures from Philadelphia, Denver and Detroit, and remains unimpressed. “I've seen your resume,” Dwyer wrote. “It's pathetic. An MVP that Shaq should have won. Lots of scoring, and precious little growth since people learned they could make money off you.” PARTING SHOT “You give them three touchdowns, you just don't give yourself a chance.” — Paul Wulff Washington State's coach lamenting his team's turnover trouble and special-team issues in Arizona's 48-7 rout of the Cougars on Saturday. One WSU turnover led to an Arizona touchdown while bungled coverage by WSU's special teams allowed Arizona to run back the opening kickoff 95 yards for a score and return a thrid-quarter punt 86 yards for a TD.

The Iverson piece was a cheap shot, and undeserved. The Herald will always be a backwoods redneck paper as long as this crap continues.
