Fan Interaction

We are living in a time where people want information on everything and everything.  We have gotten to know our athletes and celebrities on a more intimate basis than ever before.  Even at Blazer games we are learning things about players that we never would have wanted to know, and are still being entertained.

If you would have asked me who had the nastiest feet among the players, I wouldn't have cared, but since the Blazers went ahead and did it, I was amused.  

I don't know how many others are in the same boat, but I for one would love to hear Nate share his thoughts and opinions on his game time decisions and his observations during practices.  

It's also cool seeing how much interactivity there is between athletes and fans these days.  Channing has his personal website that he chats on, Greg has his yardbarker blogs, and most recently I joined livevideo.com where Steve Nash goes on a webcam during his drive home every home game and answers your questions.  It's pretty damn cool considering you can ask him anything you want.  People have asked him game relation questions, basketball related questions, politics, and even stuff about his personal life.  

Check it out if you want...some of the older interviews are in the archives section.

I recently told the Blazers about this and I wonder if they are going over the idea of maybe doing something similar with one of our players.

What are your thoughts about interaction?

ya
he seems like he drives pretty slow when he does it, bc a lot of cars pass him by.

I think it is scary
It's a cool idea just have someone else drive.  Being in a car is the scariest thing I do.  (I almost made a sharing needles joke here.)  Seriously, I hate being in a car and want the drivers full attention on the road.  I like everything about it, except that the person is driving.
