Best News Of The Year

This from the Oregonian:

-- he (Roy) said Monday his heel issues are "a thing of the past" that he doesn't "even think about any more" --

Whoa ... this is beautiful music to my ears. I've been worried about that damn heel all year! Sports wise, I couldn't possibly have received better news.

Amen!

Chronic injuries are what could really derail the development of this team!

have agreed in principle to a deal sending Josh McRoberts, Taurean Green, the rights to Joel Freeland and a 2011 second-round pick to the Pacers for Danny Granger. In other stunning Blazers news, Darius Miles has retired for medical-related reasons." Better than Brandon's heel not hurting? :)

don't you know that Raef's contract is expiring next year? He's a valuable trade chip if we just have some patience instead of frittering him away in deals like this.

Oh, dear

I think I just lost my BE all-star status.

Glory was so fleeting....

Oh that is so nice

I've been worried that BRoy is going to reach his peak just before the entire team is ready. I guess I have thought that BRoy might break down in a way similar to Dwayne Wade.

Watching Amare Stoudamire(microfracture) get up in the ASG also gives me high hopes that Oden will get all of his jumping ability back.

I don't know

For the calendar year 2008, yes. For the past year's time... "Portland Trailblazers get the #1 pick in the NBA Draft..."

Dr. Jeckle, Mr.Hyde

Yeah! Dr. Jeckle says "Great News that Brandon thinks his heel issues are a thing of the past! Really glad it's not a problem.".

Mr. Hyde says "A condition that flares up when tissue becomes irritated is always going to be an issue. Of course it's going to feel fine, until it doesn't feel fine. Brandon's Talus Bone hasn't magically shrunk, like it or not it will always be a shadow in the dark.".

Actually

I shot it with my incredible shrinking ray while i was at a game. It's top secret so I couldn't tell any of you until now.

Roy will be... you know, if i say that, something will happen. Never EVER say "nothing can possibly go wrong!"

I'm shutting up now and standing in my corner.
