Devil Dish: Artest's punishment too harsh

Indiana Pacer Ron Artest has been suspended for the rest of the season after the Pacers and the Detroit Pistons starred in their own version of "Wild On," Auburn Hills-style. Lucky for us, Artest's rap album now has limitless possibilities, and he will also have the time to record a Christmas album.

NBA Commissioner David Stern had to set a strong precedent for the brawl, but ultimately used Artest as his scapegoat.

The despicable actions of the Detroit fans in $105 seats created the chaotic atmosphere.

NBA players should be held to a higher standard, blah, blah, blah. Artest's 72-game suspension without pay is too harsh. Stern is overriding reason to silence the same critics who are still upset little lil' Benny saw a woman's naked lower back on "Monday Night Football."
