A refreshing view of the current Big Dog (Glenn Robinson) and Al I (Allen Iverson) arrest news.

Allen Iverson is the “top dog” right now in terms of merchandise revenue for the NBA (i.e., he sells A LOT of jerseys), so he can pretty much get away with murder (hmm…better not give him any ideas). And despite A.I.’s mother proclaiming after her son’s arrest that, "This is supposed to be the brotherly love place…I'm not feeling it right now", Philadelphia has proven to be nothing less than totally forgiving of its adopted son (it’s native sons like Kobe that they shaft).

Fortunately, the opposite will likely hold true for the underdog of this sordid tale, who in the end is just another guy trying to be the Answer. Glenn Robinson is a pet that’s taken on the characteristics of his master, knowing full well to never bite the hand that feeds him. He’s learned that, in this league, it’s far better not to have gone through any obedience training. I’m certain Big Dog’s actions will not be condoned so readily in Milwaukee, nor should they be. He’ll be lucky to receive an iota of puppy love from that blue-collar city before they freely offer him to a good home.

Sadly, it’s widely believed that Allen Iverson will get no punishment for his suspected wrongful acts, and will receive no negative fallout from fans as a result of his alleged criminal conduct. He’ll never see the error of his ways, and neither will Robinson. So, in the end, these mingled dramas will boil down to a non-seeing eye dog being guided by a blind man, invisible victims in plain sight, and the rest of us looking the other way to what’s readily apparent. I find it very funny when people wonder what’s wrong with the world…
