The odd couple reacts to Jamal Murray escaping suspension | SportsTalk 790

On today’s edition of The Odd Couple with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker, Chris and Rob react to the news that Denver Nuggets G Jamal Murray avoided a suspension after hitting an official in Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves had thrown a heat pack.

Chris Broussard: “The entire situation is so outrageous. If I’m the commissioner, I don’t care what the rules say, you can’t throw anything on the field when players are playing. I would have suspended him. I understand there is no general rule, but by not suspending him the league is creating a loophole because they do NOT want to suspend him.

Rob Parker: “They had no foothold. The league had no precedent for suspending him because it didn’t affect anyone. They did the only thing they could do by fining him.
