Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Worst Basketball Analogy Ever

This is from my lovely wife of all people.  I was bemoaning the Blazers 9 of 12 and 5 straight losses.  Then I was talking about how great it was when they were 25-16.

She compared the Blazers season to the infamous cough-fart.

Star-divide

Now the cough-fart as I understand it is this:

You have enormous.... pressure that needs to be released and you have the idea to make a loud cough while simultaneously making the necessary emission.  The infamous cough-fart is when the loud cough is mis-timed so that everybody turns to observe who is coughing so loudly and then a humongous fart happens.

Essentially she meant that the Blazers played so well (loud cough) that they received a lot of attention and proceeded to fall out of the playoff race (big out of control fart).

I apologize to the classy among us, but since my wife is becoming more interested in the Blazers I had to share.

You should marry your wife all over again
I wish our farts were a lil' more silent.  Then everyone could tell SOMEONE was smelling bad out west, but would think it's just Seattle again.  By being so loud everyone knows it's US causing the stink.

Your wife is wise in the ways of basketball, wise beyond her years of experience.  If you are currently in the midst of divorce hearings, CANCEL THEM.  She is the Brandon Roy of your relationship.

Get kids & a dog
Then everyone blames it on everyone else until the dog is left looking guilty.

If we ever divorced I should punch myself
in the face.  Our first date was a blazer game almost exactly 8 years ago.  Now she is at home with our 3 little blazer fans and changes diapers all day.  That is probably the subliminal source of the fecal-centric analogy.

Your Wife...
She is exhibiting the traits of sheer genious, or mild insanity.

It has been said
that God made women to keep men from being so crude.

How that applies, I'm not exactly sure, but I felt compelled to post it.

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.
