ps

You shouldn’t be apologizing for stuff you put out on the internet. At least that kind of stuff. You did nothing wrong. It did feel like people tore into you a little bit, but it happens sometimes. Shouldn’t let it discourage you.

I'm not discouraged whatsoever..

but the last post I made was just plain bad. I considered taking it down because of that reason, but thought it’d be best to let it stand.

I’m not apologizing for my point of view at all, but if I say or do something out of line in public or amongst friends (and BEdge is kind of sort of like either of those) I make a point to own up to it.

You shouldn’t be apologizing for stuff you put out on the internet.

Honestly, if more people felt accountable for their actions online and fessed up when they messed up, the world would be a better place. But, your opinion’s your opinion, dude.

Well by that I mean

When you post your ideas in a respectful and calculated manner you shouldn’t apologize for posting it. Because I post in such a spur of the moment manner, sometimes my posts are garbage and other times I feel like they have a pensive quality in their message. The idea behind them though, is always honest, and is trying to be constructive. I feel like you are apologizing because you thought you made a bad (in quality) fanpost or a couple of them. Which doesn’t make too much sense to me. Sure people can disagree with you, but I don’t see why you should apologize for taking the time to write them out. I’m sure some people appreciated them.

I like that the Blazers announced the surgery so late

A whole day plus the night to worry about it would be too much.

Now, only people up later know about it and many won’t have seen it until they get the news tomorrow morning that everything is okay.

That’s the way to do it.

If he’s hurt worse I’m gonna kill myself just so I can meet the Basketball Gods and kick them in their stupid nuts.

Lucky for me they have a sense of humor and don’t mind me saying things like that.

Just in case they don’t like it, I remind them I can kick pretty hard, repeatedly. They should know the correct outcome for this situation…

British site Basketball 24/7 has a quite extensive interview with Joel Freeland

I’ll also post it in the fanshots. Here is the link.

The gist is that he couldn’t play in summer league due to his club, the Blazers still tell him he is a part of their future, and he wants to stay some more in Europe and develop instead of coming over early.

I commented in your fanpost, but you know no one reads those things

Basically, I was impressed that he knew he wasnt ready for the NBA, is looking to get better and plans on coming over when he and the blazers are ready. No sense of entitlement, which is refreshing to hear.

Hmmmmmmmm....

I’m not convinced he is dunking in that first picture. Escaping from a mouse run amuk? Or somebody has hoisted him up to the rim on their shoulders and is now preparing to hand him the ball…you can almost read his lips, “Yes, from this extreme height the ball does indeed look slightly smaller”. Naturally I’ve translated for your reading pleasure.

The guy in the background is simply shocked to be witnessing the whole thing.

Please, oh please, let Brandon Roy have a speedy recovery.
Us Blazer fans don't ask for much in this life. All we want is our team to be healthy (and win). You would really be doing a service to us if you had him bounce back in a few weeks (without pushing it). I promise I won't ask for anything ever again (until the regular season anyhow).

not only did I make it thru the appointment without even needing Nitrous, I heard before I went in from Dave this a.m. on 95.5 that everything went smoothly with Brandon’s surgery.

So that only makes the intolerable heat my only thing to complain about right now.

Speaking of Dave on the radio this morning, he actually made a funny when he said Arvydas was 82 years old when he joined the PTB. Get a chuckle out of anyone else?

when I go to the dentist

I specificaly let them know that my phobia is so intence that nitrice is nessassary. tip – there is a leagal limit and with persistance, you can find it. slow your breathing, no matter how much they tell you to breathe normal, the ideal is to match the pace that the nitrice is being added. once youve maxed out, ask for a little increase, ask the nurce if your a guy, any male if your a grrrl, youll get more sympathy. tell them that you can still feal your face(you kant) and are just a little concerned, practice and persistance will pay HUGE dividends in this regard. and most important, CONTRAL YOUR ROLL!!! Nothing gets you cut off faster then flashing the staff. :-(

“Like a stupid g”.. ?

Do stupid gangsters even POST polls on sports-fan sites? Also, stupid gangster like a stupid Al Capone or a stupid 50Cent?

Regardless, I’m sorry you’re having a tough time deciding on the option you’d like to vote for. Even though many others seem to have done so with effortless panache, I blame myself. I know that the Junk Drawer is a place people go to find some seriousness and integrity in this otherwise fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants world, and you’re absolutely right – I was way too lighthearted in my attempt.

Unfortunately, what’s done is done and, aside from shutting this abomination of a poll down, here’s what I can do for you:

1. Give you a hint: I’ve actually taken the poll and can see the results. If you like, I can let you know which one’s the most popular and you can cast your vote with confidence knowing that, even if you don’t understand this crazy street talk, you’ll at least have safety in numbers (double hint: it’s the first one).

2. Make you your own answer: I can edit the poll and add another option to select of your very own creation. This way, you can click the circle with certainty, knowing that, yes, this time you’re really making a statement you can comprehend and believe in. I promise – whatever you want me to type in there, I’ll do it (site rules abiding) and you can cast your singular vote on this very serious matter of what one of Brandon Roys body parts says as soon as I update it.

C. Quit whining: Take a chill pill and let it be.

So, make your choice, hombre – the world is dying to know what you think on this talking knee matter!

p.s. Thanks for the constistently positive and thought-provoking comments you’ve been sending in my direction of late. It’s like having my own personal PippenAintEasy. Seriously, though, what’s the deal? Did I spill a drink on you or something?

I think 12sharks has consistently set the record for inadvertantly pissing people off here at Blazers Edge! :)

What is it with people ragging on the Big 12? I don’t get what buttons he pushes that gets some gizzards engorged.

That’s my deal with racism. As long as you accept it and you know how to deal with it, it’s OK. Just as long as you keep it to yourself. I hate haoles at a level you’d never understand. I hold the hate in because it is non-productive. I don’t need to tell everyone what I think. I don’t hate them to the extreme that I want to harm them, and I don’t want to discuss the vices or virtues of haole hate because there will always be someone who will disagree with me. I feel how I feel, wrong or right, and no sports blog is going to change my mind.

The Site I Made

For what it’s worth, it’s a site I made is called IndiePDX.com and it’s a list of shows by independent bands organized by each calendar day. I hand-enter each show and it’s designed to help people with finding the shows of bands they like that they may not have known otherwise and also to help them not forget to go.

So, it’s more “non-corporate indie”, not so much “Hot Topic indie”, if that makes sense.

Was, until a few minutes ago, a fan-fiction site dedicated to the hardcore punk band A Simple Plan?

I think you just changed it to sound better.

I liked your story about the lead singer of A Simple Plan going studded belt shopping with SR-71. It had more anal sex than I expected, but that’s what a good writer does… challenges your sensibilities and opens up new doors to explore within yourself.

Channing Frye

I think we’re going to see Oden, Frye, and Aldridge on the floor together sometimes.
Video one.
Video 2 – 3rd one actually.
In the first video, he talks about being out there with LA and Oden. In the second one, he’s guarding Steve Blake. I think it is in the same category as Bayless, Fernandez, and Roy line up. It can’t be used all the time but it will be useful sometimes.

I have never felt threatened by TiHa or in any way jealous….

Its just that he’s absurd in a different way then I can be and instead of getting upset at the things he has the nerve to post, I decided the best course of action was to taunt him in a friendly way, kinda like when your friends insult you and follow up with "just kidding. Besides, did you see his mug for the brief time he posted it as his avatar? Im still not sure he just didnt shave a baboon and put it in front of his PC cam.

But Ive grown to accept TiGa despite ourselves. As long as he bleeds red and black like the rest of us… its all good.

Frye's video guarding Steve

Is what makes me confident that we can occasionally slide him to the ‘3’ and run the Super Massive™ lineup with Oden and LMA as well. Maybe put Roy & Rudy together in the backcourt as well to make the other teams look like tiny little children.

Yeah, all he has to do is stay in front of his guy and he can do that adequately.

I don’t understand why people hate on Frye. I can’t think of anyone who has done more to his body and done more to fit into the culture, the team, and Portland than Frye. Gavin was calling him out for getting into shape in a contract year when he came over from New York who asked him to get big. I think he is way more important to Nate and KP’s plan than anyone realizes.

Didn't want to fan the fire by putting this in Sophia's post

But in light of the Spain team controversy, I was a little stunned to turn on NBC last night to see the “woman on the street segment” had her pretty much doing nothing but making fun of Chinese food and culture.
Then she brought a fried scorpion back to the studio and she and Bob Costas made fun of it all just a little more.
She sang “I’m a little teapot,” for goodness sake.
It was weird and I can’t imagine who approved that segment.

Saw that...

I’m going to guess that fried scorpion is one of those foods that has a market because it is so daring to eat, like rocky mountain oysters, atomic fireballs and tofu. If a Chinese news group was discussing some rocky mountain oysters, passing them back and forth whilst speared on a stick, and generally being shocked by them, we (Americans) would love it. The rest of the bit (actual on the street stuff) was just showing some culture shock to new food…nothing demeaning.

And the “I’m a little teapot” ditty was sung to contrast with the actual teapot that the guy used…which by the way was cooooool.

I don’t think this will be cause for more outrage.

We might have to come up with something other than Rocky Mountain oysters to shock them! They use Tiger genitalia in their traditional medicines, afterall.

Beijing Food

Now, I’m no expert..but I lived in Beijing for 6 months while going to school there (been there a few other times on shorter stays)..and I ate/saw a lot of crazy stuff, but I NEVER saw anyone eating any dried/deep fried scorpions or insects. I was telling my family last night I bet they brought that in solely for the Olympics to impress/disgust the visiting LaoWais (old foreigners).

I did see dog on the menu at one place when i was there, but I understand they’ve removed that from menus for the Olympics.

they would make statements about how when they went to China it was dead silent. They wanted to blame it on the Chinese eating everything that moved.
I tried to avoid raw food while I was in Japan, but I did get talked into eating cow intestine. It was way chewy but they added so much flavor that it tasted pretty good. My stomach hating me for the next couple days may have been related to it though…

Strike that — I’d have to unconscious AND plowed with Sake to be talked into eating raw cow intestine!! ;) Didn’t you eat any sashimi or other raw fish in Japan?

There’s a difference between regions in China and what they eat. In southern China, they have a much wider definition of what’s edible..if you know what I mean. I’ve walked in wet/dry markets around there and seen some interesting things for sale to eat. In the north, it wasn’t as unusual (at least in my experience).

It wasn't raw

it was cooked intestine. I don’t think I could have eaten it raw. It really got me to thinking about how they clean it before cooking though, considering the purpose of an intestine. I’ve never been a big fish fan, cooked or not, and didn’t have any raw fish. The Japanese guys that were taking me out kept on saying I wasn’t very adventurous. I told them I didn’t want to be sick for the entire trip, especially since I was there for work.

made several trips to China. She said that her Co. told her that to not eat the food would be insulting to her hosts. One night at a restaurant they brought a live, large snake to the table, & killed it there. I don’t remember if they cooked it there or took it elsewhere for the cooking. She says she has not knowingly eaten dog or cat and though she can eat snake and alligator and other exotic beasts she would have trouble eating something that we see as companions.

I didn’t think Costas was bad, but she was horrifying… talk about “ugly americans” like this lady, who aparently views china and everyone else as having the purpose of their existence to be the quaint people she can interact with, like toys or pets doing tricks.

The worst was when they let her hit the peanut stuff with the mallet, and with every swing she was saying “hi-yah! hi-yah!” in a stereotypical Karate way… I was just thinking “I won’t be surprised if the other guy hits her on the head with his mallet, and she will deserve it.”

Paris Hilton is grossness

She’s even skinnier in person.

I couldn’t imagine someone less attractive. One time when I was a kid our family sheepdog ate one of my sisters’ sock whole and pooped it out, so the pink sock turned a pinkish brown. It was sexier than Paris Hilton.

But maybe that’s just me.

I agree

And this might make me sound kinda hypocritical and I can’t defend my position under any logic that works under my view of myself as a non-cruel person towards ani-pals, but that’s the part I didn’t like about bull fights.

I don’t really mind the bull dying. That happens a million times a day and I love to eat burger.

What I hated is that the poor bulls had nearly NO chance to win the fight, with the dudes on horses severing their tendons and whatnot, making it impossible for the bull to raise their head before the brave matador even comes out.

I watched the bull fights wanting to see an actual BATTLE. Man versus Beast.

It felt rigged, like professional wrestling.

When people complain about bull fighting it is, in my opinion, usually about the cruelty towards the animal, but I see them kinda going out as a hero… unlike most cows everyday that we eat. HOWEVER, I just hate how unfair the fight is. It wasn’t entertaining for THAT reason.

I want to see a Bull, without being wounded, take on a matador, who only has his wits, instincts, and his long thin pointy sword.

Otherwise, the guys on horses are doing all of the work and that ain’t a fair fight!

I want the Bulls to go out the way they want to go out— IN BATTLE. One on one. Not an ambush.

Very unfair fight but some bullfigters die or are seriously hurt each year.

Actually I have a serious concern about bullfighting because I think all mammals have the same nervous system, so they feel pain and fear like us. When we were not so powerful we had not the responsabilities we have now about life, IMO.

Yeah, I don’t really like the whole concept, but I know animals die everyday for food and it’s not like I’m going to do much to stop bull fighting. I’ll leave that up to countries that take part in the activity.

HOWEVER, as long as it’s done, I still wish it was more fair. I know Bulls can still do a lot of damage, but not injuring them so severely before the matador actually starts to ‘fight’ the bull might help the world’s overpopulation problem somewhat.

And that is a problem we can’t leave for our kids, Amlmart1!

Might as well throw this into the junk drawer

Very interesting write-up on Ricky Rubio at The Painted Area blog. The author refers to him as a defensive version of Steve Nash. I wonder if KP & Co. are targeting him for some future draft shenanigans?

If the Blazers did manage to get him, then the Rose Garden might have to start serving tapas instead of chalupas when the Blazers break the century mark (since we’d theoretically have three Spaniards on the team at that point).

ore Portland Trail Blazers Information

In 1976, the Blazers added three-time College Player of the Year Bill Walton to the lineup. The ‘76 season featured just 36 wins, but what was to come was impressive. The Blazers posted a decent regular season record in 1977 before a remarkable run through the playoffs that landed them NBA champs when it was all said and done. In 1983, the Blazers drafted Clyde Drexler. Despite averaging a modest seven points per game in his rookie season, Drexler went on to become a perennial all-star, a member of the Dream Team, and the all-time scoring leader in Blazers history. He also was the leading force in the team’s NBA championship appearances in the 1990s.

Maurice Cheeks took over the head coaching job in 2001. Cheeks was a 15 year veteran of the NBA and, at the time of his retirement from playing, was the league’s all-time leader in steals and fifth all-time in assists. The Blazers are led by Damon Stoudamire. Stoudamire is one of the quickest guards in all of basketball and has averaged nearly fifteen points and seven rebounds throughout his career. Derek Anderson is another scorer for the Blazers. Anderson has averaged double-digit scoring his entire career and can be counted on to contribute night in and night out. Darius Miles came to Portland in 2003. The organization hopes to develop the youngster into a premier player in the NBA.

They kept trying to raise his trade value

And we saw what that got us: SAR failing a physical that woulda’ reaped us Barbosa and an expiring deal that went nowhere.

Plus an upset and hurt Miles who never recovered from that perceived slight.

It was a horrible and meddlesome move. SAR was never a SF, it was merely a showcase that completely backfired in every way possible. Miles was really talented but immature; he had an all round game that could have grown if he didn’t get hurt. I thought he was playing pretty well the season he got hurt, our 21 win season. I think that gets sorta overlooked.

I remember the deal woulda gotten us Barbosa, before he was a known player.

Now I can say I don’t mind it because I don’t like Barbosa’s one way play and lack of PG skills, but, say, 2 years ago that kinda sucked.

Back when one could feasibly think Barbosa could develop those abilities.

Ok, just one link, since the other link was a True Hoop link referencing the above link.

Basically, the deal was set so the Blazers would send Shareef for the 2nd round pick and then send that pick to the Suns for Barbosa. I knew he was SOMEHOW involved.

But because Shareef failed the physical, no 2nd round pick, no Barbosa.

HUZZAH I ain’t crazy!

“There arent many teams that in the West that can be consisdered playoff bound and the Blazers arent an exception. Yes, it will be interesting to see how well they do, but keep in mind how young this team is. Their starting lineup, their bench, yes a lotta high draft picks in there, but theres not enough team chemistry to convince me that they are playoff bound.”

I’d say there are about eight teams that are playoff bound.

Oh, I got a joke for this without reading the article.

Maybe she got her passport from the Chinese Olympic team.

Even I didn’t think I could find a way to joke about rape or statutory rape. I can’t wait for the first home opener. Who is sitting next to me?

Aren't they usually trying to make people younger? Zing Chairman Yi

Well, it’s not great that a sport still called “women’s” gymnastics is now being dominated by too young girls pushed into competition by their coaches and managers/country officials who don’t really care about the consequences.

But luring somebody who is underage and 30 years younger than you with a spot on a high school team to solicit sex is just gross.

Underage mischief

taught me I’m not really into clubs, so I decided turning 21 wasn’t going to be exciting long ago. I’ve only been out to a club once since I turned 21, which was the obligatory “We’re going to take you out and get you really drunk” excursion the weekend following my birthday. Actually, I haven’t even purchased alcohol (legally) for the first time yet. So I’ve had one night of inebriation, but other than that nothing has really changed. Thanks for asking/remembering. On a side note, I’m sorry I haven’t lived up to your clever joke, GreatOden’sRaven. I found ‘Menace II Sobriety’ to be pretty funny. It’s just not true though. Sorry to disappoint you.

Grizzlies plan to sign 7'2 center Hamed Ehadadi from Iran

He played well in summer league and the Olympics. But is he ready for the NBA, or are the Grizzlies acquiring a really unfortunate mixture of mediocre big men (first Darko, then Kwame in and out, now Marc Gasol and potentially Ehadadi).

Super Duper Street Slang Poll Recap

Wow. In an unbelievable turn of events, the “orthopedic shoe” response has done a worst-to-first turnaround that would have made the ‘91 Twins proud. The standing’s tenuous – we’re only two votes away from a tie for first, but certainly no one saw this coming. Early on, the “put the mack in -aroni” quote was barging ahead full-steam, followed closely by the patient yet consistent “pop a lot” answer (on the inside track, no less). Barring further surprising developments, “orthopedic shoe” wins an unpredictable victory in the vie to decide what Brandon Roy’s knee says.

Of course, your race-side correspondent 12sharks will be with you for any and all late-breaking news should the unthinkable happen. Stay tuned!
