LOS ANGELES, CA -- In a shocking development, blog owner and author Dave Deckard of BlazersEdge.com was spotted at Staples Center wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey and cheering for the Lakers. He said he has been on a quote, "spiritual journey" that has "enlightened him" to the true merits of the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant in particular.
"Kobe practically invented this game," said Deckard. "We didn't see players of his caliber after Jordan left the league. The Blazers were boring, always getting into the playoffs but never quite achieving."
Deckard continued to say, "We needed someone to come in and become a rival. Kobe did that perfectly. He revived our league. He revived the Western Conference. Without him, where would we be? My fellow Blazer fans have taken to hating him; I think we should be appreciative of all he's done for the league, and the Blazer organization in particular. He deserves nothing but praise and adoration for the great things he hath done. Praise Kobe!"
We'll keep you posted as this story continues to develop.

Is that a picture of you Dave?
Or should I say traitor!

i remember seing a pic of him when he ran the blog on oregonlive and i think that is the same picture. i think someone screwed with his pic and put dave’s info on it. i could be wrong though
Must....contain.....rage......
Somewhere in Idaho there is a K*be jersey buried deep in one mans closet, waiting to burst out.
Isn’t there Dave?
:::shakes head in disgust:::
My ignorance is my greatest weapon
Well if the Yankees can bulldoze their stadium
to get the Red Sox Jersey out, should we do the same to Dave’s closet and/or house?
Just a thought

Dave?
What would your congregation think?
After all, if you take the numbers on Kobe’s jersey (24) and add them together, you get 6. Kobe’s won three rings, so three sixes is…
666!
Kobe Bryant is the anticrhist!
But we knew that already, and didn’t need any silly numerological arguments to prove it. :)

HaHA! YES!
Now that we have the new platform I can finally admit it. I am a Laker fan! I have been one all along! Kareem is the greatest center ever! Kobe is dreamy! I HEART SHAQUILLE O’NEAL! This whole blog was an attempt to bring you down from the inside!
There, I have said it! You don’t like it? My pic is right there. I’m a little older now, with a little less hair, but I basically look the same. I’m going to be hanging around Portland for the next few weeks. Find me and smack me upside the head! I dare you! Make sure it’s a surprise, though. You wouldn’t want me to see you coming and defend myself.
GO LAKERS!

So, may I now say that I want to trade Oden for Gasol?
I like Brandon Roy, whatever planet he comes from. (Bill Walton?)
So reverend dave has turned evil...
Here’s a new picture for your profile:

I've only been here a day
and yet I feel betrayed…

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

That's Casey Holdahl, isn't it?
The picture I mean.
Oden+Roy+Aldridge+Rudy=Dynasty. Believe
No! No!
That is me! I swear! Look at my ill-kept eyebrows, my overbearing cranium, the slack, vaguely clueless look permanently implanted on my face.
I still had my whole life ahead of me
I was going to be a Playboy photographer or a nude beach lifeguard. Now I’m sitting at a desk filling out expense reports and taking coffee orders. Sigh.

Oden...Aldridge...Roy.....THE REAL BIG THREE
I remember seeing this photo often.
Isn’t it from that Classmates® ad that ran forever?
"A certain critic—for such men, I regret to say, do exist—made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained ‘all the old Wodehouse characters under different names’. He has probably now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha: but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have outgeneralled this man by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy." - P.G. Wodehouse
But for a reverend,
That is the second or third gaudiest pectoral cross I have ever seen.

Still weird...
Keep on recommending people.. this needs attention. I also want to see another post go to the top and to see how many it takes
You guys missed it!
Forget the “favorite NBA team.” How about those 1,804 posts in one day? THAT’S impressive!

lol
That’s not one day. That is 1,804 main page posts.

Yeah?
And how long ago did he join?
When I rule the world, every fan post will be an encomium to the Blazers.
It counts comments from the old BE...
look at your account and you’ll see you didn’t do that many posts in one day.

Right
That’s the whole point of the joke. It says he has 1804 posts and only joined one day before.

I was looking at the blog membership section
I see where you’re looking now.

Hey Dave
where are the links to truehoop, oregonlive blazer’s blog ….?
I don’t want to have to bookmark them.
:)
Any way to move them higher?
The site conversation rules at the bottom of the page where no one will look is probably not the best placement. But that is my humble opinion.

I really wish I could
but the top slots in the sidebar are network locked and mandated. I wish these diar…uhhh…fanposts were at the top of the right sidebar too, but that’s not my call.
Hopefully
he has a dart board he uses to select his favorite. Naturally, any dart would strike the L*kers first.
Blessed are the flexible, for they never get bent out of shape.
Dave is now like a kid with his new shoes.
That´s why he´s roling like…you know….
I like Brandon Roy, whatever planet he comes from. (Bill Walton?)
Hey Dave,
Just noticed this, but how did your comments go down? You had 13257 and now you have 13255….how does that work?
It's a WAR, and we're bringin' the BOOM!
Ready for another update?
Dave’s aveytare ERRRR avatar is now a UO Ducks football helmet.
Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.
That's the Duck Dave

Oh.
He did that ”- Dave” thing at the end of one of his posts, which Moderator Dave always does.
Fooled me.

Is it?
On my screen it still shows as the five guys and Indian chief dude….with the NY Knicks as the fav. team

Which one is Dave?
Whatever, it’s still better than that magician avatar which, at its small size, looks like a naked woman flashing.

It was Liberace
Your right, when it was small I didn’t know if it was a vagina (Can I say that?) or a woman flashing. I know it wasn’t either, since it was Dave’s avatar, it just looked that way all tiny like.

Nah
I know the rules, if I called someone that, then I’d get busted. I was just stating what I thought something looked like. I think everyone here is old enough to have at least taken health class.
