Don't thump a Bible pounder

http://thebiglead.com/2016/01/24/bob-ryan-returns-to-espn-after-suspension-for-remarks-on-mark-jackson/

Bob Ryan was suspended from ESPN for comments that he made about former Warriors coach and current ESPN color commentator Mark Jackson.

I am on record, thank God, publicly saying two years ago, I looked at the NBA, I looked at the rosters and what was going on, and said, “The most talented team one through eight, at least, in the NBA is the Golden State Warriors. They’re doing okay, but I know that they can do better. I know if they had a real coach, not some phony, Bible-pounding phony that Mark Jackson is, when he isn’t even a legitimate Bible pounder, I know that they’ll be better off.”
