ESPN- Four years after naming McDonough general manager, Sarver acquired some live goats from a Diana Taurasi event at Talking Stick Resort Arena and planted them upstairs in McDonough's office. The stunt was both a practical joke and an inspirational message -- the Suns should find a GOAT of their own, one who dominates like Taurasi. The goats, unaware of their metaphorical connotation, proceeded to defecate all over McDonough's office.
------ Imagine showing up to work and opening your office door to find out that your workspace had unknowingly been turned into an unkempt petting zoo with all poop left unscooped. Now, imagine your boss showing up in your office unannounced to both passive aggressively and condescendingly offer you the type of professional advice that's about as helpful as the token moron in movies that breaks the tension by routinely stating the completely obvious. Now, imagine the combination of those two scenes making for just about the smelliest of slaps in the face, and how the stink of that soiled sucker punch must have lingered with the NBA executive on which it was delivered. Honestly, if I were his General Manager, I think I would have preferred Robert Sarver to squat atop my desk and leave a steamer to slow cook overnight in an attempt to satisfy his own immature sense of humor than to insult my intelligence by suggesting I try acquiring transformational talent. Never mind the idea of using livestock to do so. I suppose it depends on what the goats ate the day of, but - at least theoretically - the feces of farm animals can be cleaned out of carpets. The stain of your employer interacting with you as though you are an unforgivable idiot, however, is one that's got the staying power of the coffee Ryan McDonough undoubtedly spilled all over himself upon stepping in a situation more crappy than even the Suns themselves were capable of producing at the expense of their own pants. Acquire the greatest of all time, while an entirely novel directive, isn't exactly one that was worth the loads of goat shit it was packaged in. Anyway, that's my time, so here's Greta to give you a more enlightening and educated look into the type of entitled tightwad we are talking about here...
