That isnt good for my fantasy team. Oh well looks like a trade is on the cards.

Apparently Brannen's suspension could be related to something on ozhoops.com.au. Anyone know about this?

More info Mr Ostertag. He's killing my fantasy team!

I believe the ban is due to a severe lack of hair style, which the Bullets and the rest of Australia has finally had enough of! Haha

I live in Brisbane, and it was reported in the Courier mail today that his "ban" had to be clarified by the CEO and it was a suspension. I didn't realise there was a difference, but apparently the difference is that he will be playing. The punishment actually started before his last game. I think this actually stinks. At first, I thought Brisbane were doing the right thing and sending a message that nobody is above the team. In this Bullets team, that was exactly what was needed I think.

So does anyone know what he was actually punished for?

Fashion Police for that hairdo

OHHHHH as if nino got in first! i so called that joke!

Story all over the radio this Morning up here is that Bobby Brannen (under an assumed name) has appeared in the buff in Homegirls magazine with his girlfriend. Needless to say the NBL has frowned on this and has dished out a 10k fine and suspension

Article about it all, inc picture of Brannen's girlfriend. Silly Bobby.

When the owner of your club runs the largest chain of child care centres in the country, you don't sign off on editorial that invites people to fantasise over publicised photographs of your naked girlfriend.

I'd like to know what NBL commissioner Rick Burton was doing reading that magazine !! ;)

While incredibly dumb (but not illegal), Bobby's actions will not result in anyone talking about the NBL less - so I reckon it's a good thing. Certainly no-one from the A-league has done this yet. :)

Who will be the first NBL player brave enough to talk trash to him once he gets back from his suspension?

From what i understand he has a suspended sentence and wont miss any games.

Seeing as they play the Crocs i would bet JR would be first in with the your girlfriend comments.

Yes, just saw that about the suspended sentence KB, thanks for that. If I was to trash-talk Brannen, I would do it via phone or email, or if it had to be in person, whilst running in the general direction of away.

And surely there's a basketball icon going to the first person to post a link to the offending picture/pictures.

I think this entire story is absolute gold and should be discussed in this forum ad nauseum. Baywatch, we salute you!

(Mod: Perfectly phrased.)

BH, you don't deserve an icon for that. We want the icon to go the person who posts the pics!

More Bobby action (SFW)

Hey MG,

I kind of agree with you - but I'm not going to quibble with the mod if he/she wants to dish them out. I might start selling them on eBay soon to the likes of Dr Dunkenstein. :)

And, please, if there is a God, let Bobby - or a 30-year-old carpenter from Sydney called Dave - be one of the guests on tonight's Talking Hoops.

That bastard (excuse the french) has been screwing my fantasy team all year and at least now I know why. Goodbye Baywatch - you've been traded for a shoelace and half a can of soup.

It sounds like he gets to screw more than just your fantasy team, MG.

(boom boom)

What flavour soup is the half a can?

where do i find the naked pics?

where do i find the naked pics?

There are more attractive women out there on the net that are far easier to find. And there's less chance of Bobby coming after you too.

who cares about the women its bobbys body i want to see
