Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Again, Dave is rated "excellent"

ESPN's Monday bullets again notices Dave: 

An excellent explanation of why Portland is likely to make a trade or two before long, from Dave at BlazersEdge. Essentially, if the team stands pat, the cap room they have worked so hard to get next summer could be eaten up by cap holds for Martell Webster, Channing Frye, and Jarrett Jack. If Portland is going to get a big-time free agent next summer, and the roster remains as is, those players are still on the roster, they will have to be cut, traded, or signed to reasonable new deals before Portland can make a move. Also, I would not be surprised if Portland spends some or all of that cap space in advance, by acquiring a veteran between now and the trade deadline.

If this keups up, next year when Dave becomes an unrestricted free agent in his day job as pastor of his church, he may have ESPN or cbs.sportsline or CNN/SI knocking at his agent's door.

I didn't know

that his church had decided to renounce him. I bet they make a qualifying offer.

Unless they think he doesn’t fit the culture.

I'm also guessing that qualifying offer is higher than EPSN can match.

Because in Dave’s business, it isn’t about the money.

I understand the retirement program...

is otherworldly.

No retirement

Just promotion to other duties.

Yes - better asenscion than descension

This is one area where what goes up does not come down!

You don't think Dave is lucky to have you?

I wouldnt be suprised to see Dave getting a paying gig out of this

in my opinion he is better than Holdahl and is definitely in the upper echelon of bloggers out there.

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
