Greg Oden on Crutches at Chipotle

I have no other new information but I do have this picture for you.

Go_at_chipotle_medium

This just came in via email from Amit, a picture taken by his friend Farhad.

Amit writes...

I work in downtown Portland, and for lunch a coworker and I decided to go to Chipotle for lunch around 1:45pm today...as we were leaving with our food, G.O. walked in donning a boot and crutches...my coworker took pics with his cell phone in a very non-challant manner, but it looks like Greg has a positive outlook, he was laughing and chuckling with people, and I asked him about his thoughts on San Antone and Phoenix this weekend and he said he can't wait, so maybe this isn't that bad after all, I guess the final MRI report is gonna tell us whats really going on.

Obviously I can't verify this information as I wasn't there but I can tell you that Amit is a Blazersedge member.  I thought I would share this.

Wooo!

Go Ben. And Greg would probably have that goofy grin on his face even if his arm was amputated. Such a great guy.

GOD

Please be precaution with the crutches, PLEASE!

Why are blazer fans being put through this?

so many years of garbage players but when we finally have a chance we get pooped on by injuries here and there

"All our holes," says shooting guard Brandon Roy, a surprise All-Star last year in his second season, "are holes that Greg is going to plug."

the real question is why....

IS GREG GOING THRU THIS?… :)

he’s worse than a pit bull you know?

so eager to please,….to a fault.

This is unreal

The picture was taken at 1:45. He must have been out of hte hospital at 1:30 at the latest. They waited until almost 5:30 to break the news. Why? so we could find out how deep our hatred for Canzano can grow? I hate the media.

The rage begins with you man...rec!

I was giddy until I read your comment, and then realized I"m still upset about that little fact you point out.

They held out on us man…..FOR THIS?!!!! as long as the words, “out for the season” wern’t part of it, why’d they hold out for so long….

are us fans really that bad?

In other news:

Greg Oden suffered severe heartburn after eating four large burritos at a local Chipotle restaurant. Expect him to be out 6 to 8 weeks.

by faith on Oct 29, 2008 10:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

seriously though

Oden needs to straighten out his diet. The real bottom line might be that he has a few food addictions and he can’t help but pad himself too thick. Eating is his coping mechanism, and he eats the wrong foods. Comfort in the thick goopy fattening stuff and the refined sugars. That’s bad for athletes. He needs to hang out with Channing and eat what Channing eats.

The perfect is the enemy of the good.

He is almost 300 lbs……..

Greg eats, what Greg wants…. Has nothing to do with his feet.

I've never eaten at Chipotle is it any good?

I happen to live down the street from this particular one

Hmmm...

Del Taco is also the Subway of Mexican food.

I’d say Taco Bell is the McDonald’s of Mexican food.

Honor Greg's Crutches

talk about HOF material. Those babies should be raised to the rafters next to Schonley’s microphone. Especially by the end of his career.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
