Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."

Disgusting Roommate story: Freshman year, came back from a party
open the door turn on the light, and the roommate is passed out naked with some form of yeti (also nude) snoring next to him. Needless to say, I slept on a couch in a friend’s dorm that night and within two weeks had traded roommates with another guy in the hall who was having similar “issues” with his roomie. UO Hamilton baby, those were the days…

not personally
he was making some terrible jokes on the radio today, about how much cheaper it was to buy ammunition than taking your pet to the vet. It was totally tasteless, and over the line, and I don’t think the other guys on the show even thought it was funny. Bow was commenting about how disgusting it was in the other JD, and I’m guessing he emailed cip?

and then stupid me for talking myself into it. I know a red hot burner is painful, so I’m not sure why I keep putting my hand on the MSP oven
I wish people would stop saying "don't worry about it" as if I'm losing sleep over it
I don't mind others listening to it
I just don’t know why… I’ve never heard them say anything insightful. The interviews can be good, but only because of the person (KP, Nate, etc) they are interviewing saying stuff… not their questions or insight.
I dunno. I just hate it, and Gavin is considered one of the good ones.
That was horrible
I heard him on the way to work this morning. Honestly, I think they need to break up Gavin and CIP. Gavin knows his stuff, but he goes into shock jock mode a lot when Chad is egging him on. Put somebody else with Dawson in the morning and have Chad play the foil for Canzano so I can avoid them both

Chad in Portland
from the worlds worst morning sports radio show here…. he or one of his poser buddies made a sick remark for no reason this morning about buying an ammo pack to kill sick pets. It was another example of the tasteless and gorked “humor” delivered by the show. I sent him a email saying how distasteful it was and he sent me a snarky email back which included a dinner invite.

A camera crew just followed him around as he touched people’s hearts.

It sounds like Nate is at least leaning toward starting Miller
and if he’s not Brandon’s personal caddy anymore, Blake is useless. Bayless and Rudy would be a nasty up tempo backcourt, especially if you have #25 running with them too. Have Rudy run the offense in the halfcourt, and let Bayless guard the PG and attack the rim. I hope Bayless seizes the opportunity and rips Blake’s job/minutes, and it starts in practice.

i think you might be overoptimistic about Bayless.
he’s shown no ability to run an offense. He’s just an undersized 2 guard. and those guys don’t generally take games over. unless they’re AI circa 2001.
Maybe
but he doesn’t need to run the offense to be successful in Portland. Rudy and/or Brandon can and already do do exactly that for stretches as it stands now. Bayless needs to be able to guard the PG. Keep Martell or Rudy on the court with him for shooting/floor balance. I think this could work
I hate Comcast.
Card carrying member of Team Bayless
I believe in Greg Oden
to me it seems like if the PG doesn't actively run the offense
in this system, all he needs to be able to do is hit a 3. And Bayless doesn’t do that. At best, Bayless could be Andre Miller (attacking the rim) without the passing skills. I’m also not sure why people think Bayless is a defensive asset. Blake and Miller aren’t good, but has Bayless shown he’s better?
I think the lack of 3 point shooting from Bayless
would be a non-factor as long as Rudy or Martell is on the court with him. I’m mainly looking at Bayless’ physical gifts (great quickness and strength) as my reasons for thinking he could (can’t say “is” until he does it) be a good defender. Especially in a division where you have big, physical PGs like Williams, Sessions, Billups, and Westbrook. Of the 3 palyers who can guard the point, Bayless has the best physical attributes for defensive purposes. Offensively, I see him as a Westbrook (best case) or Lou Williams/Monta Ellis type attacking the rim. Rudy and Brandon are both great facilitators who can make things happen with the ball, let them do that for the minutes Rex is out there.
I hate Comcast.
Card carrying member of Team Bayless
I believe in Greg Oden
if there were 2 3 point shooters out there with Bayless, maybe.
but he’d still need to be able to pass the ball to them adequately. and i’m not sure he’s shown he can do that.
i agree about him having the body to be a good defender.
all he's had to do since he got here is work on his stroke.
it is possible but it’s hard to say when he hasnt’ been playing a whole lot. it didn’t seem to improve last year, even when he had his extended run during Blake’s injury.

I was a bad roommate in the navy
Wiped my butt with a roommates towel. I would pee in his lemonade. When I got away with it, my other roommate would go to the restroom, pee in a paper cup, then bring it to class and dump it in the lame roommates drink. He would also pleasure himself then rub it all over his hands then spread it on the lame roommates pillow.
I used to pee in a guys liquid laundry detergent and another guy that I hated, I peed in his toothpaste.
I did worse things but it’s NSEFBE
It was half full
I blew in the end to make space, then got about a tablespoon in there and then squeezed it all in so he wouldn’t notice.

Part I
I forget the total chronology of these roomate events, but let me try and recreate them
live in a house with 5 other people. One of the roommates has a cool girlfriend that he takes for granted, so me and my other roommate E, start hanging out with her to the extent that we take her out for valentine’s day as her BF is too busy. A communal girlfriend, if you will.
communal girlfriend breaks up with our roommate so now it is on between E and I to jump on it. First opportunity is a group outing for St Patricks day, but I am feeling hella sick, but I feel I have also put sometime in on this one and dont want let E get the upper hand so I go along. Crappy night that sees me getting into a fight with a patron and a bouncer at Kell’s, followed by me throwing up for hours on end in the bathroom while E makes out with communal girlfriend, and turns communal girlfriend into his his girlfriend. Meanwhile, it turns out I have pneumonia and spend a couple of days in the hospital.

there is literally nothing DWill is better at.
Adjusted for pace, Paul gets more assists, more steals, more rebounds, more points (and more efficiently) and turns it over less.
Statistically, there is an enormous gap.
Didn't know about the rebounding
I think williams could score like Paul, but again, Paul needs to go 25 and 15 nightly for NO to win – and more often than not he does. I think I am mainly impressed with the way Williams quarterbacks the Jazz, he’s an extension of Sloan even in ways that don’t show up in a stat sheet. Complete control of the game. I’d still take Paul 100 times out of 100, but Williams is a strong #2 at that position.

Why don't some people still not accept that fact?
If coaches have control over anything on the court, it’s pace.
As history indicates, Nate McMillan dictates a slow-paced offense.
I, too, like slow-paced offenses, although I prefer one that relies more heavily on pick-and-rolls — particularly with the 4, though — and plays ran through the pivotman when he posts up down on the low block.
I still enjoy the occasional iso run by the 2, long-range bombs by the 3 and 1 from kickouts, basline cuts by the 3 to the basket, et cetera. First and foremost, however, is that running the offense through the interior is of the utmost importance
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.

Take all of Howards minutes thus far
Blair would be playing like 35 minutes a night thus far, with Oden and Joel’s foul probs.
They were worse off last season to start the year
I think they especially are a big picture team and don’t get all fired up after a loss on the road.

he should be able to expoit Miller and Blake, which could lead to another 16 minute night for GO

Dwight is way more marketable than CP3
And LeBron way more than kobe
1) Lebron
2) Dwight
3) Dwade
4) Kobe
5) KG
6) CP3
depends on if you want to normalize by what market you are in
If Kobe and Wade played in equal sized markets for equally good teams, its arguably edge: Wade.
I disagree. Kobe is the most recognizable name in the NBA. He’s the one that people think of when they think basketball.
free bayless
and given their past career paths and current location I’d say that Kobe is more marketable.

That is true
EVERYONE knows Kobe.
He just doesn’t seem to be in a lot of ads, besides the constant TNT/NBA League Pass type ads.
Wouldn't ya say Wade is in more commercials as of now though?
So maybe a big edge if normalized, since I think Wade is marketed more by non-NBA companies than Kobe is.
Kobe used to be in a lot more, I can’t think of a reason that stopped though…
I think that the average person sees a Wade ad and goes “oh, a basketball player.”
The average person sees Kobe and thinks “oh, hey, it’s kobe.”
Thus I think Kobe is the more powerful marketing tool.
free bayless
I think he is definitely more unversally known than Wade
But I can’t think of any big campaigns he is a part of anymore… before there was Sprite and whatever for Kobe.
Obviously, that dried up because he was accused of being a raper, so that changes things and if we’re theorizing about how it’d be if normalized we gotta account for that as well and give a bonus to Kobe.
Kobe more recognizable and everyone everywhere knows his name, but he just isn’t in many non-NBA ads that I can think of these days. Wade/Lebron (especially Lebron) and Howard are in more it seems like.
Most marketable = most appeal to non NBA fans
People remember that and still equate Kobe with that incident.
If I am just not remembering a big ad campaign he was a part of recently,
I might be wrong, I just can’t remember one.
That stuff still haunts his marketability, I am sure of it. How could it not?
I got about a million story so I'll start with my first week at college
I was a bit naive…Dr. Lub didn’t exist back in the early days. All I did in high school was work and study…(and show up to rule on the courts during gameday of course). So the whole birds and the bees making honey fruit pie stuff never existed in my brain or in reality. I was just socially awkward with that subject.
Anyhow, my assigned roommate was a school baller…about 6’3" 225. Cool guy, chicks dig him. First week all I did was study in the library, and all he did was chase skirts.
The first Saturday night, I get back to my dorm room around 1 am from studying at the library and the room was filled with empty beer cans all over the floor. Our room was tiny too. He was sprawled over his bed half naked and a gal was in my bed rolled closer to the wall side in my blanket.
I was raised in a family where we don’t wear shoes in the house because it would bring in dirt/dust, etc…So seeing all the bottles and the nastiness on the floor, I wasn’t gonna sleep on the floor. And I didn’t know anyone else the first week, so I push the girl over and slept in my own bed. Yeah, a bit naive but I was really tired.
In the middle of the night, I got a bit chilly so I took some of her blanket and to my surprise, she was bottom half naked. WOWZERS. Needless to say, it was a bit hard to go back to bed at that moment.
Morning rolls around and the first thing I heard was “HOLY SH*T, WHAT THE ZACH HAPPENED LAST NIGHT…HEY WAKE THE ZACH UP.”
I wake up and the girl had her arms around me, legs over mine, and her butt exposed. She woke up and said, “Hey, sorry I didn’t mean to sleep in your bed.”
I was almost speechless. I said to my roomate, “Uh, I didn’t have sex with her… And dude, your tan is Zached up”
It was about 1 minute (felt like 10 minutes) of awkward silence then the girl got dressed, gave me a kiss, gave my roommate a kiss, and said, “see you guys next time.” When she left, my roomate busted out laughing. And asked me again, “did you sleep with her?”
I said, “dude, if I did, she wouldn’t be able to walk that smoothly.”
I know, even back then, I only had my stupid wit. I was such a lame naive penisblocker. What the zach was I thinking…smh

Man, that's a really smart move by ESPN, a classic "The first one's free" kind of thing.
It’s like Apple giving huge discounts or Adobe giving the full Acrobat product free (or really cheap) to college educators. Adobe stole the market with that move.
I’ll rail against ESPN 360 every chance I get, guaranteed. Maybe I’ll toss something in my profile for the multiple times it comes up…
If you hate your cable company, you don’t want to support ESPN 360. It’s an attempt to turn ISP’s into the Internet equivalent of cable. In the meantime, I get that it’s irresistible when it’s already free on your system. But it’s a bad thing.
Admit it, you hate the Internet Freedom Act

The public should be really cautious about that one. Not everything the FCC does is good, but in this regard it’s much better than what some of the telcos and cable companies want.
In the end you would get “high speed Internet”, but can’t use it for everything that needs that high speed. Video? Costs extra. You want to download software? Boy that costs extra. Telephone? Boy have we a special tier offer for you.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Preaching to the choir over here
I presume you’re also fully aware of why I’m railing against ESPN 360 so heavily too? If not, I’ll take a few minutes for a short explanation.
This site also has some general explanations.
http://www.savetheinternet.com/
The term “net neutrality” is a bit clunky and everyone has slightly different definitions, but in general it means the Internet access providers shouldn’t be allowed to differentiate between different types of use by monitoring and regulation “packets”, like saying video costs us too much bandwidth so you have to pay extra for that, or that you can’t use Skype or Bittorrent.
Opponents will come up with heartwarming stories like “yeah, but you don’t want that a surgeon who needs medical data examined has to wait on that data because someone is downloading illegal software or porn”. In reality, that doesn’t happen. I have yet to hear of a person that died in the ER because the college kids next door clogged the pipes watching a sports stream and downloading girls gone wild.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
The weird thing is that almost nowhere that is a debate. Of course ISPs are allowed to kill bandwidth hogs that far exceed limits in most countries (though in general flatrate really means flatrate) and can’t always provide the advertised speed for everyone. But “tiered internet” apart from paying more for more speed is pretty much unheard of. And really violates fundamental design principles of the underlying protocols and concepts, as even some of the “fathers” of the Internet now say in statements about these bills.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
No problem.
I’ll give this a shot to try to explain it.
You know how you have like 8 cable channels you like and 65 you don’t like? You still have to pay for every one of those channels in your monthly fee. In fact, a lot of people want an a la carte option, where they can just pay for channels they want. Sounds good right?
Well it gets better. ESPN 360 is trying the cable company approach to the internet. In order to get ESPN 360, you cannot subscribe to it. Your ISP has to subscribe to it, at a fee to them, then tell you “look how much your ISP loves you! We offer you ESPN 360!”. Meanwhile, they quietly add it to every subscribers’ bill over time. So for the 1 in 10 who watches ESPN 360, the other 9 are paying for it too. Just like cable channels.
This is a test run by Disney. If it goes well, they’re going to do it for every service they can. Instead of having people just sign up for a monthly fee, they’re going to start telling you to “call your ISP”, the way MTV used to tell you to call your cable company and say “I want my MTV”.
Soon after that, you’ll maybe have, say, DSL in your area, with three providers. One of them offers ESPN Online. Another offers Fox broadcasting. Another has access to Hulu. But you can only choose one of the three! Oh, or you can pay for a higher tier where you get all the internet you want!
Then, two years after that, everyone will start asking for an a la carte service for the Internet.
Which is what we have now before ESPN 360.
This is why ESPN 360 is not a good thing.
I’m available for questions on the above explanation and hypothetical examples.
You'd think that.
Meanwhile I get responses on BE like “you just don’t like it because you don’t get it”
Hey, it’s free so it’s got to be a good thing, right? I mean, ESPN or Disney always gives stuff for free with no hook, it’s their style.
Don’t mind me, a little frustrated on the ESPN 360 thing and what it means in the bigger picture.
Bingo
In 4 years or less, they’re all in the work force. And will immediately yell at their ISP if they can’t get that sweet web site they had in college, and will go to [Insert ISP here] who does offer that site instead.
I even bet a bunch of them will complain to their employers about it!

so 2nd semester rolls around and my baller roommate
moves to the “athletes hall” and i get a new roommate (funny thing, we ended up renting a house together sophomore year with more crazy stories)…this new guy was the opposite of my roommate and also not a very smart dude…So he’s not even cool enough to be a nerd. Just your average douche.
he would get pissed if i watched Blazers with sound, etc. he was always irritable and complaining. he always get on everyones case about a million things.
our hall always played pranks on each other. one night i went over to my neighbor dorm room and they decided it was Cigar Poker night. they move the beds to one room, and leave an empty room to play poker and smoke cigars.
well, smoking is not allowed obviously so they got a wet rag and shoved it under the door hoping it would block the smoke. i played along and smoked the cigar too.
we get this loud knock on the door and the RA was like, “what th zach, come out in the hallway…i had to shut down the firealarm before it went off”
we go out in the hallway, and it was completely filled with smoke. hahaha, so dumb.
anyways, i go back in my room and my roommate was like, “i’m gonna tell your parents, the Dean etc that you guys been smoking cigar, and probably doing cocaine over there.”
i was like, “cocaine, what the zach???”
i was sooo pissed off went back over to the neighboring dorm mates and told them what happen.
they decided to mess around with him (they were all strong ROTC dudes). they grabbed him, tied him up with duct tape to a chair in their room. then they proceeded to move all his crap to the lounge and told him that he can’t be my roommate anymore.
my roomie was just screaming from the top of his lungs. i felt bad and told those guys to free him and help him put his stuff back.
we walk in, and the room just stunk…like someone died. we all looked at each other, and one of them said, “holy zach, i think he crapped his pants!!!!!!!!”
so they quickly untied my roomie and he went straight to the bathroom. the dude that tied him up, later went into the bathroom to get the soiled underwear that was thrown away.
Next morning in our dorm lounge, we see his underwear hanging from the wall with his name on it. hahahah so mean of them.
after that, the RA moved him to another room in another dorm.

-Duct tapes his sheets to the ceilling.
-Tapes up insane psychedelic peace signs on the wall.
-Takes pictures of scantily-clad anime characters and adds “thought-bubbles” of them thinking his name, putting it as his computer desktop.
-Brings four or five friends in that all just smoked and watch family guy together, laughing the stoner laugh. It is fantastic.
-Talks in his sleep.
-Gets withdrawals in the middle of the night and runs outside to smoke pot… right outside our bedroom window.
-Starts yelling at himself “STUPID!”
-Alternates between being very intelligent and asking me what the opposite of that big S (integration) is.

i dont think i have ever been [rooster]blocked by somebody more than him. Casanova, he was not lol.. one of my roomies was convinced that he “swung the other way”, but none of us were able to confirm, as he never brought anyone back to the dorm (thankfully).
probably the most disgusting story i have is one night i was laying in bed listening to my ipod and he must have thought i was asleep, because when I pulled the headphones off, I heard some, uh, “suspicious” sounds coming from his desk… I wasnt sure what he was doing, and I was totally fearful of making any situation of awkward bc i was scared of how he’d handle it, so I snuck my phone over the edge of the bed and turned on the camera to see what he was doing.. unfortunately he was, as they say, “being his own best friend”… it was really gross and it absolutely ruined my night. the video that i recorded to see what he was doing was a huge hit amongst my friends though lol

Miller can take advantage of Parker and get Duncan in foul trouble as well.
If the real Blazers show up, I like our chances.
Yup!
So I hope our PG can finally get some back on the other end.
Ya know Blake can’t take advantage of Parker, and that’s not a bash on Blake. He just doesn’t take advantage of weak defending PGs.
Blair has ball magnet implants in his hands and a nice touch around the rim but
Looks short and slow on defense,LMA should be able to own him
by southern oregon on Nov 6, 2009 12:46 AM PST up reply actions
I totally agree Blair won't be able to guard other bigs at a starters level
But he appears to be totally perfect as a backup role playing PF. Very impressive rebounder and scorer inside. Very nice tough, unteachable instincts for getting the ball, good hands…
But it’s likely all he does, and he does not have the size, length, or mobility to defend modern PFs. That’s totally fine as a role player though.

Skiing and shooting, right?
Woulda be way rad if they were hunting another human on his own pair of skis. Give him a 10 minute head start in the open wilderness of a mountain, set up cameras all over, and each biathlete gets 2 hours to bring in the kill.
We can use criminals or annoying people as the victim
Give them a brass knuckle or something, or tools to create traps for the biathlete to even it out a bit.
It is essentially what the do now in some cross country skiing and biathlon disciplines. Mass start (the top 30 athletes all at once) and pursuit, with the results from the spring or another discipline carrying over. First to cross the finish line wins, no more waiting for guys to later beat the best time. In cross country skiing they have also introduced a discipline where they switch skis and styles at “halftime”. That and the relays are really fun to watch.

I dunno what a operating system is.
Ok, it is windows XP.
So, sound is fine, and video has a stutter, right?
And if doesn’t matter if you do this in full screen, or window, correct?
Yup
I haven’t tried again since defragging and freeing up HD space, but the video would stutter, and speed up to catch up, and the audio would run totally smooth.
You should try a replay game to see if it has problems.
If it does, I’ll need you to monitor the CPU usage. I’m a little worried that league pass is nailing your CPU (maxes it out, so that it can’t do any more… each time it maxes, that’s your video stutter. It might not affect the audio, it depends on some stuff.)
To view your CPU Usage, click Start, then Run, and type “taskmgr” (no quotes). Click the tab marked “Performance”, which gives some green graphs of CPU and memory usage. It’s set to “Always on top”. so you can’t put it behind something else. Just a heads up there.
While the game is playing on the screen and stuttering, watch that “CPU usage” box in the upper left corner of that window. That’s the one that just gives you a percentage number. Try to make sure that the video is visible on part of the screen and still stuttering while doing this.
Watch that number in the upper left corner. It will generally fluctuate. Does it go all over the place, or does it stay somewhat close to a certain number, like 0%, 50% or 100%?
We may pick this up in the JD tomorrow btw. I’ll be around in the daytime tomorrow (for a change) and will have some free time.
Man thanks for the help

Has anyone who ordered League Pass via Comcast
been able to active LP BB afterward, using your customer number?
No problems last year, but no luck at all this year.

I remember the first year I had league pass through DirecTV, it was a pain to get it activated as well.
Since then it’s been automatically activated each year without me doing anything.
That's what I figured would happen with my setup.
I have the same LP account, the same Comcast account, and I activated it a year ago.

No, but the unintentional comedy is golden. It’s a popular cultural meme and comedians joke about it all the time. See, even Morti remembered it.
It has to be somehow “sports related” in the widest sense. So they show girls being bad at soccer, long jump, arrow, go-cart, swimming, whatever in the intro before stripping (to the underwear). Gets produced somewhere in Eastern Europe. And you can call to order a background pic for your phone or something like that.
That channel has pretty much gone downhill. A few years ago they had rights to 2-3 NBA games per week and NFL and were in discussions for soccer rights, now they are just a sad joke for 95% of the time. But somehow that nighttime program pays and isn’t embarrassing enough.

Dave is an eloquent speaker. He did a great job on the podcast.

Dave is a preacher and Ben was/is? an educator and they both find time to understand the game.

Casey knows enough
Look at Dwight Jaynes
Ben reads books on basketball too. Most normally people don’t.
Casey would be in the 25th percentile of BEdgers in terms of bball knowledge
All he does is agree with Dave and say incredibly obvious things.
I think Mortimer or Norsktroll or many, many other BEdgers could do an infinitely better job than Casey on that podcast.
I think a number could do better than Dave also, but a much, much smaller number.
Even for all Ben knows about stats and whatnot
He still makes knee jerk reactions, thinks everything is a conspiracy, any player on the bench is about to revolt, will watch 5 minutes of a guys game and say he should start, and will make snap judgments for the sake of ripping on someone. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. I’d rather have a Dave KP2 podcast.
nah, Ben's chemistry with KP2 and access/proximity to the team makes him the right fit there.
Today’s Casey/Dave podcast was pretty good. There have been some pretty painful ones in the past, IMO.
I prefer the Ben/KP2 podcast, for sure.
I still like Ben a lot
It just seems like he kind of plays the role of a less extreme Gavin in his podcast.
If we had the gumption to start Blazers Edge, go run the Oregonlive blog, and then apply
to be the official Blazers.com fanblogger website dude, then we could, but we didn’t so Casey gets to be the man.
I agree, we got a lot of very smart people here, but I’d also include myself as one who doesn’t know all about the different offensive and defensive sets that truly knowledgable basketeering people know.
I think Casey is fine
Of course he benefits from his inside observations during practice and talking to the players and other team employees. But he has a good way to write about it. Of course he came to the position by being first rather than the very best sports blogger, but that’s life.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
That's how I feel too.
It would be different for me if Casey was always convinced that he was right about something when he is wrong.
I ain't listened to it yet
But I’d say the same thing about myself, meaning not knowing the intricacies of the X’s and O’s, different standard offensive sets, that sort of thing.
I took it in a different way, but that might be what he meant.
He makes a lot of statements that could be refuted by a lot of the Bedge regulars. Dave does a good job of keeping him in a good direction.

I agree with that
He isn’t particularly insightful or mind blowing with his analysis, but he is like most fans of the team— in a good way.
Gavin represents many fans of the team as well, in the bad way.
I literally just witnessed domestic violence at the bar tonight...
It was the craziest thing I have ever seen. An older lady was making rounds and friends all over the bar. We assume she is just a drunk cougar looking for trouble. She retreats to the table right next to us. All of the sudden, her husband(apparently) comes bursting through the door like a middle linebacker on a blitz. Slaps her in the face, grabs her by the arm and literally drags her out of the bar at a frantic pace. The ENTIRE bar spills onto the street as she breaks free from his grip, people are holding each other back from beating his ass. Half the bar is ready to fight, the other half is maintaining the peace. Essentially, total chaos. Never seen anything like it, I wish somebody would have knocked him out, but he ran to his car and drove off. Crazy ish….
I was a peace maker...
and it woulda takin some crazy ass speed to react to that. I didn’t know what to think at first….

nah, not Volcanoes Stadium-- I was up in Portland by then and not good enough at baseball
I meant the Keizer Little League complex— big complex of really nice, well maintained fields. Moving to Portland hurt my development as a player, for sure. Keizer Little League>>>Mt. Sylvania Little League. Not that I was going anywhere as a player anyway. The only things I was good at was fielding ground balls right to me (very little range), drawing walks and bunting.
yes, except at 2B (less valuable than SS)
and like Christian Guzman on offense (lots of walks, very little power, very mediocre speed).
I actually think I was a bit underrated because plate discipline is an undervalued skill, but I still wasn’t very good at all.
The worst part about playing on astroturf
Was the 2nd bounce a grounder had… I was the center fielder, and that 2nd bounce on a hit or line driver would be wicked.

Be glad you didn't waste time going to practice everyday

I think I could have played at most PIL high schools, at least made the team
I don’t think I ever would have been a regular varsity starter at Lincoln or Grant or Madison or Cleveland though.
Yeah, I never went there cause of it
I started college when I was 17, and Jiggles was the place to go in HS when you turned 18. Since I turned 18 away from Portland, I never went.
I thought strippy joints were degrating to women...
When I turned 21, and was FORCED to go, I learned otherwise. I will get naked all day for $100+ an hour…
When I lived in Eugene
A 20 year old friend tried for months to get me to go up to Jiggles. I’ve never been there.
Its cool if you like to buy juice instead of alcohol
truth is, I never liked the thought of strip clubs as a young male. On my 21st Bday, I lost that battle. Now I like to support those hard working females on a special occasion…
Oy vey, Sophia is gonna destroy me….

But I don’t mind them. To me if a lady is naked and only a foot from me, then I should be able to touch her boobies. Since I can’t do that, I’m not into them so much.

Plus I always imagine what provoked them to go into stripping, or be willing to do it.
I’ve been to strip clubs a few times, and I can’t remember any where I said “oh man that was a great time”.
When I was my friend’s best man and I took him and a group of us out to a bunch of strip clubs, that was fun though.
Yeah
When I go, I like to be at a table, drink and chat with friends and maybe tip a lady who does cool things on the pole. I don’t like sitting there and having them show me their stuff. I’m all for nudity thought.
I am actually the same way
I kick it, and tip accordingly. It still feels sleazy to though, even if they want and appreciate my money….
I read someone sued to make them tax deductible as work-related expenses. Don't know which country.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
The way I tip is kinda funny...
I figure the girl that is climbing the pole and performing circus du le junk doesnt need my money. She is well experienced and likely gets more than her fair share. I tend to tip the shy and inexperienced ones. I figure they got stuck between a rock and a hard place and need the money that bad, so I give them mine.
But I am kind of an idiot sooooo…….
also
Taking a girl to the nudey joint is always a win. My ex was way into it. We could have dropped a quarter on the stage and got a better show than the pervy dude flipping out a twenty on the other side. They know you are harmless when your gf is sitting on your lap.
Honestly, 90% of the times I have been to a strip club, was with her. She really, really liked it. It was fun while it lasted, but it is no longer, I guess its time to grow up…

Though being bad is good for them right now
As long as they try hard to win and just lose anyways, it is good for them.
Intentionally being bad just keeps the team awful in the long run, unless you trade your entire team away for KG and Ray Allen.
He might miss not having any chance at the hot new young and slutty lottery talent in the future
I know a lot of us will…
I had one fail today
I’ve been recording games and watching them the next day and didn’t see any on league pass so I didn’t record any. I still got a Indy at NY game to watch though.
Non issue
I didn’t pay much attention to it because it was a 20 point blowout quickly. I never saw Howard near Frye when the Suns had the ball because Frye never stepped inside the 3 point line and when Orlando had the ball Frye would wrap him up or Howards would just score. A lot of scrubs played in that game.
I predict that Shaq is starting to hurt the Cavs
Not actively, but I have seen other teams move his defender away from him to provide help guarding LeBron (especially in transition situations), and that ain’t good.

He still gets position like no other
But his lack of developing and work on his skill game really hurts him now. You don’t need to worry about the alley oop lob if ya front him anymore (and not for a while obviously), and you can rely on his hook shot being off.
He had some way off line drive hooks that would make people here really worry if Oden had done them.
Lol, more awesome D-League draft facts: Yaroslav Korolev got drafted in the 4th round, 16th pick by Albuquerque
He was a #12 pick in the real NBA draft! In 2005! By the Clippers (who else). Ahead of e.g. Danny Granger.
Best names drafted: Major Wingate (awesome) and Mustafa Shakur

Minnesota Lynx won the first pick in the WNBA draft lottery. Minnesota Timberwolves still pissed they didn't get Rubio #1.
Oh wait, they did.

I think hell froze over
I didn’t read it, but look at the headline of Canzano’s latest article:
Canzano: Give Roy and Miller time to bond before panicking
Normally when there is a fire, he’s trowing gasoline on it.
I clicked that link and crashed my computer.
I think SO neutered my hamster.
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
What’s this pole jumping thing.
You think they would let anybody jump from that high, obviously we don’t know the whole story here.

So you say there is a chance?
On Friday, the Cavaliers will make their one and only visit to Madison Square Garden this season to play the Knicks. Naturally, much of the pregame discussion was about the chances of James jumping to New York as a free agent next summer.
I figured it was a good chance to ask, "What about the Bulls?"
"I’ve thought about playing everywhere," James answered. "Every team in the NBA, I’ve thought about playing at one time in my life."
"Even the Clippers?" someone asked.
"Everywhere. At one point in my life, I’ve thought about playing for every NBA team," James continued. “All of them.”

Wow, ESPN missed a lot.
I can’t believe that all came in the same game. If I’m ever in a dark alley, I want #15 on my side.

I don’t see a whole lot of roommate stories so I hope I’m not out of place to post one, I’m a sucker for following instructions.
The date was January 13, 2009. The place, a small Connecticut town firmly entrenched in winter’s icy embrace. I remember the year well, being my first of collegiate studies. Seemed like it was a kinder time back then, a gentler time, perhaps the place had something to do with it, the campus. A safe haven for scholars and gentleman, a place where men of my ilk could flourish without suffering the idiocy and brutalities abound on less “developed” campuses around the country.
My roommate, Canadian born with a fiery fop of hair atop his head, the type of wild main that near required a headband to participate in sportsman type activities, such as tennis, at which he was quite proficient, the number 2 player at our school as a freshman as I recall, which is the reason he happened to be on campus this date, having returned early from winter break to fit in extra training. I fancied myself as a bit of an athlete as well at the time, my upbringing would never allow me to participate in a game that required chasing balls, sweating, and grunting (a servant’s game if you ask me), so I entered my freshman year as the top recruit for the freshman’s crew program. Quite the pair Dick and I were, young athletes at the top of our game, fit…firm…sigh…gay times indeed. ahem Please, excuse my rambling…where were we….
Ah yes, we had both returned to campus from winter break early! From what I recall, it was just us and the track team on campus at the time. And being the young attractive gentleman we were, they extended us an invitation to attend one of their galas, which we graciously accepted.
So it’s about 4am and we’re ending the evening by passing around a plastic gallon jug of cheap vodka. The kind that smells like rubbing alcohol, and tastes like it. The kind that doesn’t really mix well with anything, $11.99 a gallon, you know what I’m talking about, don’t lie. And this is after several hours of rousing games of flip cup. My memory fades with time but I’m fairly certain it was a sausage party of sorts, at least it had developed into one. Typically any female with a shred of common sense knew enough to politely slip away when it was 4am and the “vodka chugging” became the name of the game…not because she need fear for herself mind you, but recognizing it was a gentleman’s hour, and things may be said that were not meant for the ears of the fairer sex. It was better for all parties involved.
I remember finishing the bottle. And being famished. My roommate, Richard, agreed with my rumbling stomach. But where could one find a tasty morsel at 4am in frigid Hartford? The vending machines in the main building sounded like a good first stop on our quest. And so we ventured inside, only to find once inside, that the doors to access the machines were locked! What trickery is this! So, naturally, we began attempting to pry the bolts out of the hinges…to mild success, sadly, hinges are not horseshoes (nor grenades for that matter), close does not count. Onto plan B.
To the dormitory! Not our dormitory, alas our dormitory had no vending machines, but a friend’s of ours did, thankfully she had given us her door code in case of emergency, as hunger is never a laughing matter, we felt the use of her code was not only warranted, but required. Whether we wanted the tasty treats or not, we felt it was our duty to our friends and family to assure our own well being, we were compelled to use the code…and to engage in the acts that followed.
Again, once inside the building, my roommate and I found that clever use of “door” and “lock” blocked our entrance to the common room where our treasure trove of tasty treats lay in wait. However, we had gained a little perspective in the time since our first failure, and a little more of that grain vodka had soaked into our bloodstream, the liquid courage was like fire in our veins. Failure, was not an option.
We poked. We prodded, in a gentlemanly fashion. If there was a weakness, a chink in the armor of “door” and “lock,” we would find it. And we did. We called this chink “ceiling.”
There was a study room next to the common room, the ceiling for both rooms was made of those large dry wall-ish tiles, so easy to push up and in…perhaps 3’ squared, easily enough room for a young college man to slip up into. Being a solid 40lbs heavier than my wiry tennis playing roommate, we decided I should be the one hefted up into the ceiling, success! I was in. Crawling amongst the wires and pipes, snaking my way through the ceiling like an international man of mystery, I was incredible…ly drunk. Nevertheless our scheme was working, once I felt I had gone the traversed into the next room I reached back towards my fit to lift up a tile and check my location…the vending machines were right below my feet! Huzzah!
Sadly, in reaching down to my feet, I had ceased to spread my weight evenly across the tiles, I received no second chance in this error. “It broke.” This is the only way I can truly describe it. What broke? Everything. The tiles broke, the metal bars broke, the silence was shattered, and on a quiet campus in the frigid Hartford night a little angel plummeted to Earth with a hearty “hpmhhh.”
My legs were over the vending machines when it all came apart, this turned what could have been a “catlike” landing, into a 10’ fall to my back. Chaos ensued. I am having trouble breathing, I am confused, I am so so drunk. Yelling, I hear yelling, and pounding, who is that? Richard! It’s Richard, he’s concerned. I can’t walk…crawl…crawl to the door, let Richard in. By this time I can stumble to my feet, I follow him back to the scene..swaying on my feet…I follow his line of site to the…wreckage. We stand, well, we sway, silent. Eyes roving from the mess on the floor, to the broken bits dangling above, to the giant gaping 8’ tear in the ceiling….do you remember the scene in Animal House where the pledge shoots the horse with a blank in the dean’s office, only the horse has a heart attack and dies in the office? It was one of those moments. The “holy shits” started as just a whisper on the lips…afraid to disturb the silence…listening oh so carefully to every creak and pinprick in the building…waiting for the cops to burst through the door guns blazing…but as the seconds inched forward, and the “holy shits” grew louder, so too did the realization that we were alone.
And our wide eyes continued to rove, floor…dangling parts…hole…vending machine? Oh…well…yes it was still there…and since we were still there…we tipped it to the floor, glass to the ground using gravity to tug all the candies and chips from the safety of their holes to the glass…and we watched it allllll fall down as we tossed the machine back up against the wall, hands darting into our treasure trove of goodies, shirts folded up to carry our delicious bounty.
And we ran. The steady crunch and crinkle of wrapper following us every step of the way. Twizzlers dangling from our pockets, like jesters in the night. We ran.
My aching back, and entire body for that matter, raised instant alert in the morning. Something had happened in the night. Something that hurt. Groaning and rolling over I saw my roommate fresh from bad, shirtless and drop jawed staring at the pile of snacks overflowing out of his desk drawer. And it all came back. And for the second time that day we had an Animal House moment.
I'm on your bandwagon. Eating your nachos.
