Back -- Caught you lookin' for the same thing
It's a new thing - check out this I bring
Uh Oh the roll below the level
'Cause I'm livin' low next to the bass, C'mon -- Turn up the radio
Hype and overhype feels bigger now than it used to because, like all things, mass mediatization has changed the way we experience the world. But that doesn't mean the modern age invented hype - just marketed it. Hype exists because people like to exaggerate and embellish upon everything that was, is, or is about to be. If I just caught a fish, it was the biggest trout ever. That kind of thing.
Now here are some random images related to hype.

Now discuss whatever you want. Just hype it up first.

Pogs were fun.
Did you collect sets of them and have a cool slammer?
"oh dear god. Please be more irresponsible". - Claire
Yeah, I did the same with my sister.
And my wife did the same with her brother.
I like this slammer. Reminds me of one I had. I have no idea where those things are anymore.

I remember those crazy metal ones.
I could see you as a pog shark; roaming the street with your brother finding kids playing pog, beating them and taking all of their pogs as per cutthroat pog street rules.

They should make one with Nate’s “Standard Answers” and give them out at a home game.
"The match in Los Angeles is a good opportunity to begin to demonstrate that we want to make war." Rudy Fernández (translated)
I had a very bad experience with hyped fads
pokeman was SO “in” in my third and fourth grade years…well fifth grade they were “out.” and my buddy (nerd) asked me to hold his pokemon cards for him that day (no idea why)….I hated pokemon (never got into it), but I did cuz I’m a friend.
Well I took them to gym class and was going my job…guarding them with my life…when the hottest girl in the class held my feet for sit ups. YES! Except….I start doing my situps and whooooooooooop! Out slide the pokemon cards.
She literally raises her voice about 10 decibels and goes “POKEMON CARDS?!! SOOOOOOOOOOO LAST YEAR!”
Embarassed, I mumble something about them not being mine and dutifully finish my situps.
Then, to make it even better, the class (garden tool), who had a crush on me but I didn’t like at all and had already rejected, slides over RIGHT next to me and goes “Well I think pokemon cards are awesome” and bats her eyes at me.
smh.
I always made fun of people that played Pokemon
so I’m not surprised you were one of them.

I recall when those ugly wide-legged JNCOs were a big fad, for even I had a pair in like the 6th grade.
Dear Paul Allen:
Fire Nate McMillan & hire Jeff Van Gundy.
Sincerely,
AK1984
I had the bowl cut when I was in like 2nd/3rd grade, as well as never had the wallet hooked ...
to a chain. Thankfully, however, JNCOs were in style for only like a year, while carpenter jeans — along with khakis, which were more preppy — came into fashion shortly thereafter.

What was your favorite theme? The teddy bears? What else is there?
I get the paper, so I don't care!
Oh goodness.
My brother had those too. What a horrible fashion trend. Going by the 1984 in your name, he’s the same age as you.
I went through a jersey fad...
I literally wore Air Jordan warm up sweats and a jersey to school every day for the first half of my freshman year. I had at least 10 pairs of sweats (nice pairs) and 20 jerseys
lol wow
I’ve never really owned a lot of jerseys and I’ve never really worn them around all that much. Although I am enjoying my retro Willie Mays and Ronnie Lott jerseys I got this year.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
I had some sweet jerseys
NBA
Iverson – Sixers
Jordan – Bulls
Magic Johnson – Lakers
Drexler – Blazers
Shaq – Magic
Vince Carter – Raptors
Carmelo Anthony – All Star Jersey
Shareef – Hawks throwback
NFL
Eddie George – Titans
Steve McNair – Titans
Jerry Rice – 49ers
Steve Young – 49ers
Emmitt Smith – Cowboys
Steve McNabb – Eagles
Jake Delhomme – Panthers
Rod Smith – Broncos
Terrell Davis – Broncos
probably others I’m forgetting…
I had a Shaq Magic jersey, I'm embarrased to say
I also had a Barry Sanders Lions jersey.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
I also have a Damon Stoudamire jersey (yeah, I was a fan of Mighty Mouse)
and then my Roy and Oden jerseys.

you should get a Timmy Franchise jersey
or at least a Sandoval one
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
yeah, I've been holding off on final confirmation of my Giants fandom by purchase of a jersey.
but I will likely do so at some point with a Lincecum jersey.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
I want a Lincecum jersey too
although I’m tempted to go with Sandoval or Posey instead
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
Lincecum is the obvious choice because he's awesome and from the NW
but everyone has one of those, so its tempting to go with someone else. Posey is a pretty good call. You could start the fad on that one. I have a female friend (insert shock that I have a female friend here) who is the world’s biggest Posey fan.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
yeah i usually like to go against the grain and get jerseys of guys who aren't that popular
for instance I’ve been looking for a Batum jersey recently.
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
damn!
I can list all the jerseys I have ever owned:
Richard Seigler 49ers Jersey (lol)
Jeff Garcia 49ers jersey
Joe Montana 49ers Jersey
Jerry Rice 49ers Jersey
Brandon Roy All Star Jersey (his first appearance)
Chad Johnson Bengals Jersey
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
I loved that Chad J jersey
it’s worn out now, but it would be a cool addition to a collection now that “ochocinco” jerseys are the only ones available

if he starts playing at anywhere near his capability, and people are still upset with him
then you can feel bad for him.

When he dumps the crossed-up dribble for the crossover dribble,
and people still choose Greg
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."
I feel bad for Steve Blake, who's receiving more than his fair share of criticism.
It’s not like Blake can control the idiocy of Nate McMillan, the laziness of Brandon Roy, et cetera.

same here.
apparently the throwback hardwood jerseys go on sale this saturday. i will be buying and Oden one at the game.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
this is so funny. I recall you having a comment last year after a loss that was basically ’There is no big three. We have a big 1. Brandon Roy. Oden and Aldridge have a long way to go to ever be on his level."
i cry for nic
I think he cut and pastes it whenever someone mentions the Big 3.
A Big 2 and a guy like LMA is all we need, plus role players.
That Oden has met Roy’s level of last year, per minute, is amazing. Roy will be himself again, and we’ll be happy in our pants once more.
yeah, well, things have changed
I don’t even know that we have a big 1 anymore, and if we do, it’s Oden.

whoa, Ben has an interesting "Wingcast exclusive" in this week's podcast
More than half of the guys on top of the preliminary 2010 Blazer draft board are PFs. Ben thinks this means Travis isn’t long for the Blazers.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
no surprise IMO
figuring that Travis is going to probably get a bigger offer to play elsewhere…
I wish KP would trade him and Blake to some team that needs a bit of cap relief.

there are some pretty good PF/C prospects in the draft: Aldrich, Davis, Patterson, Favors, Cousins, Lawal, probably some Euros too…

He also said John Wall was first on the list
I think Ben is making a huge leap there. I don’t think Outlaw will be back next year, but just because there are a lot of power forwards in a draft, doesn’t mean the team will be getting rid of their backup power forward.

Blazer Stat Update
Blazers now 13th in the Hollinger rankings, somehow projected for 48 wins by basketball-reference (though they say that’s only good for the 8 seed), somehow projected for 51 wins and the 5 seed by coolstandings.com. Go figure.
Blazers are 29th in pace, 7th on offense and 9th on defense (strength of schedule caveat necessary).
Oden is up to 23.3 in PER, 12th among all players who meet basketball-reference’s qualification standards.
Roy is back down below 19 in PER, worse than his 2nd year numbers.
Howard more than tripled his PER, to a woeful 8.3
Portland has a total of 5 players with above average PERs— in order: Oden, Roy, Cunningham, Aldridge, Bayless.
Portland has 3 players who have improved on last season’s PER: Oden, Martell, Bayless

Ok
I can’t keep my DirecTV, which sucks because I already had league pass renewed through them before the problems started, and I’d need to get it again if I want it on my TV. Dangit. But, Time Warner has good deals and I’m gonna go through them for internet and TV.
So, I got electricity in my name and turned on tomorrow.
Gas as well.
TV and Internet hopefully Monday.
Storage container dropped off Saturday.
Need to hire unloaders to help me unload my storage, mainly my heavy TV and bed and crap.
Need to get a full size fridge.
Am I forgetting any other basic apartment stuff? All is taken care of except the last two, and I just got done emailing a dozen movers and thingies so I can figure it out tomorrow.
I feel like I am forgetting something.
Did you get to keep towels, post & pans, plates and stuff?
"This isn’t making staples, where you’re just making staples." - KP
Yup
I need to get a couch, but that isn’t a pressing need. I got most items like that… but I feel I am forgetting a “thing to do when ya move” type thang.
What killed us when me moved here
Was the first time shopping. Buying catsup, mustard, mayo, cock sauce, salt and pepper etc. costs a ton when you buy them all at once.
"This isn’t making staples, where you’re just making staples." - KP
yep
all the little stuff adds up really quickly

- Tell banks, insurances, work, friends your new address
- Is there something like postal storage and forwarding in the US via US Mail for half a year from your old address so stuff doesn’t fill your mailbox there?
- Check that heating works. Winter and stuff, though in LA that might be less of an issue. But I once freezed and frozed to death in an unheated apartment in Athens that I’m sure would have been nice in the summer.
- Do you have lamps? I always found bare bulbs unsightly
- Bill Simmons is always complaining about Time Warner in LA, but well he’s the Sports Guy and has 5 TVs in his “office”
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
He complained about DirecTV too, didn't he?
And I’ve always been happy with them. I don’t wanna switch, but since the building doesn’t allow the satellite dishes I got no other option. And you can’t really pick a different cable company.
The price for HD service and a HD DVR and all the channels I had before is the same as with DirecTV, and I didn’t have HD service before, so that’s nice.
I have most basic house stuff. Cleaning supplies (99 cent store is awesome for them, because the generics are just as good and not 5 bucks like at a normal store), plates and silverware, I kept almost all kitchen stuff… I would need to buy groceries, of course, but I figured that.
I found an actual moving company that will send 2 guys to unload my stuff for 2 hours for 100 bucks total (25 an hour each guy). I think that sounds decent… more than worth it to not move my TV myself or make my friends do it again. That was such a witch!
They are someone I found on Craigslist… I think the only way I can get it cheaper is to go to Home Depot or similar and hire some Mexican dudes for like 20 bucks… but this company has dollies and crap and a number I can yell at if something bad happens. And I’d feel bad going even cheaper cause some of my stuff is a grip of heaviness.
It was extremely annoying moving my books and shelves and everything myself, and I had a few friends move my TV with me and I don’t wanna put anyone through that again.
So… I’ve emailed a ton of people about cheap fridges for sale on Craigslist… a fridge and couch being the last big purchases.
The sort of thing I feel like I am forgetting is stuff like changing electric and gas into my name, getting TV and internet set up, etc… I feel like I am forgetting something basic like that.

cantcha put the dish up on a tripod and face it out the winder? I have seen some folks do that.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
It says the signal can't go through glass
Unless I want a window open all the time… and in the summer it will get hot and I will have the AC on.
Nope!
I’ve gone over all of those tyle of options… using the railing outside the apartments, put it on the correct end, have a cord go down… they don’t allow it.
If my window faced the right direction, MAYBE I could rig up a thing where the dish hangs out the window… but, alas.
nah..
just go with cable if its too much work.. you’ll miss out but thats ok
alright when we gonna go get drinks damnit.. i have no one to watch the games with

That was my ultimate conclusion
When I realized it’s a lil’ cheaper to have internet and cable through Time Warner, AND I get a HD DVR instead of the normal one, I said “well this isn’t so bad”. And I don’t gotta move everything around to have access to it.
What is so bad about Time Warner? My friends’ service seems fine… just cable. They don’t got DVR, maybe the DVR is annoying when compared to DirecTV, but the free OnDemand stuff is nice.
And what's your schedule now?
I’m opening up a bit more now that I got a place, though this week will be a weird one still as I don’t get my stuff from storage until Saturday.

Lame Tiger jokes - sorry if they've been posted already
The police asked Tiger’s wife how many times she hit him. “I don’t know exactly…put me down for a 5.”
Phil Mickelson contacted Tiger’s wife to pick up tips on how to beat Tiger.
What’s the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.
Tiger Woods wasn’t seriously injured in the crash, but he’s still below par.
What were Tiger Woods and his wife doing out at 2:30 in the morning? They went clubbing
Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron.
Ping just offered Elin an endorsement contract for her own set of drivers; to be named Elin Woods…“clubs you can beat Tiger with.”
Tiger just changed his nickname but still kept it in the cat family—his new name?: Cheetah
Tiger was driving an Escalade, can he blame the accident on his caddy?
Hello, Mr. Woods. This is the On Star operator. We have detected that an angry person has put a golf club through your window. We’ve called Nike. A new club is on its way.
Who among us doesn’t hear a car crash and immediately grab the closest golf club we can find??!!
Tiger’s new movie: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Hydrant.
Tiger Woods owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole in one.
Poor choice; he should have gone with the driver.

Saying he wouldn’t be a star, etc.
I do not like Danny Ainge. His crap talk about Oden and Roy are stupid.
Ainge is a very good GM
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
except for some questionable trades
and frankly I dont think he is that good of a GM
he gets the hype cuz he conned Minn outta garnett.. but im still not sold

Rajon Rondo
Al Jefferson was a great pick
Kendrick Perkins
Leon Powe
Glen Davis
Ray Allen trade
Filling out the roster with e.g. Posey, House, etc. He built a historically good defensive team.
He’s made some bad moves, for sure. He’s a long way from perfect. He’s still a very good GM on balance.
'Cuse 88-Cornell 73. My Big Red failed to beat the spread by 2 points. Hence the new avatar.
Al was a good pick
Perk is ok
Powe he didnt draft right? he signed.. due to knee probs?
Big Baby is meh
Ray Allen Trade was good for OKC more than Boston
by GreatOden'sRaven on Dec 2, 2009 12:22 PM PST up reply actions
he drafted Powe.
Ray Allen trade made sense for OKC, but its turned out to be meh. Jeff Green is not that good, and it directly contributed to a title for Boston.

I was listening on the radio, and Wheeler was saying Scott Foster was calling all kinds of crazy fouls on the Blazers. I did not get to see any of the calls, but Wheeler made it sound like Foster was doing all kinds of nefarious business, i.e. overturning other officials, etc.
I get the paper, so I don't care!
he had a couple questionable calls int he first half, the second half was better IMO… the one call when Oden “fouled” O’Neal while O’neal was throwing Oden to the ground was the worst

nbf is musing around something socrates once questioned: whether the memory is a piece of wax, from which our experiences press themselves into—from which we recollect based upon the ‘impression’ it left. Or, if it is that our memory is like a box full of birds, and that we search through it until we find the memory that we’re looking for. Socrates then falls upon recollection as something that might come before experience, which leads him to try to bring these two forms wax, caged birds together in one system.

TIME has a great cover: "The decade from hell - and why the next one will be better"
What a great way to sell issues (I’m a subscriber for about 15 years). At least a large percentage of people will either agree that the last decade was shitty, disagrees and wants to read what made them call it that, or at least agree that the next one could be better and they would like it to be that way. Now please tell me how and why.

By the way, I get the European version. I have the same title picture, but they advertise three different stories on top. Sometimes it’s also a different cover story when it’s too US-centric.

i think many people have likely sucked from the beginning of time

I wouldn’t say sucked, but I will share this tidbit:
Once Samuel Beckett was spending the night in the French countryside. After a night of horrible weather (rain, wind, cold, etc.) the morning brought clear skies and warmth. As he and his publisher walked out of the house into the bright morning, his publisher remarked, “It’s days like these that make you happy to be alive.”
Beckett responded, “let’s not get carried away.”

No, I don’t think so. Beckett wasn’t saying that the morning wasn’t nice, just implying a larger context, which, like you, I would always keep in mind as well. Maybe from the perspective of one who really believes in optimism we are worse off for the point of view we share, but I stopped believing in the “ignorance is bliss” thing years ago.

It always appears freeing when it’s represented, because its always represented from its own position. Whenever it is accurately represented (mmm, say, by Falubert in “Un Coeur Simple”), the cracks in the structure appear and the repressed object of idolization returns to horrific effects.

broy has played bad by his standards
Last year, he was a top 10 player. This year, he’s maybe in the top 50, but I don’t think so. He’s statistically been worse than his 2nd year.

So all this talk aout Brandon's head has me wondering about the Blazers sports psychologist.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen her at a couple of the games, sitting close to the bench, taking notes. Anybody else notice her? Maybe with glasses? Am I imagining it?
Dana Sinclair is a registered psychologist and currently a consultant for several professional sport franchises. Her sport client list includes such organizations as the Indianapolis Colts, Portland Trail Blazers, the Anaheim Ducks, Florida Panthers, Philadelphia Flyers, Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs and LA Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and many more. In addition, she works with a number of individuals from professional teams and the Olympics. She attended the Olympic Games in Nagano, Sydney and Salt Lake City in her capacity as the psychologist for a number of Canadian Olympic teams.
(via http://www.sportsmanagementworldwide.com/winter-baseball-meetings-career-conference)
Not sure. Probably she is telling Brandon, Greg & Co. to go to their happy place when shooting free throws and visualizing how they hit the winning shot :)
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
so you are saying she sucks
based on what has happened with Greg’s crunch time free throws
lets go brandon!!!!
I know next to nothing about sports psychology, despite my former psychology prof being a star squash player so he probably used some of that. The only concept that has found widespread use in sports and beyond as far as I know is indeed visualization, imitating the actions you are about to make in your mind or with your body. Hence the ‘dry shooting’ motions of basketball players on the free throw line, golf players swinging or putting empty next to the ball, or downhill skiers and bobsled drivers really going through every turn in their mind before the start – and often really achieving exact synchrony with the actual moves and the exact time they are about to get.
Ceterum censeo Lakers esse delendam
visualization works well.
not just in sports either. very useful skill to have for everyday life.

Greg Oden did not practice due to a tweaked ankle, although he was in the gym getting shots up and had a smile on his face as he joked with coaches. McMillan seemed pretty confident he would play on Saturday. I think they were mostly just giving the big guy a rest.

Stupid chalupas.
It amazes me that people cheer so loud when they get to 100.
WE STILL LOST PEOPLE. A FREE CHALUPA DOESN’T CHANGE THAT.
It really made me mad last night.
I wanted to yell at everyone to shut the zach up because I’m sick of losing and couldn’t care less about gross chalupas.
what made me, well not mad, but i found it annoying
was when after another not so great stretch, they did the shoot the t-shirts in to the crowd thing. that’s manufactured excitement if i’ve ever seen it. i don’t know how people can get themselves up for that.
the chalupas are a little more understandable.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck
Yeah, I'm probably just too negative but I don't care about free shirts.
All I want is for the Blazers to play well and win. That’s what I’m there for. I’m not there to cheer for free chalupas and shirts. I’m there to cheer for a victory.
i'm the same way.
the other stuff is just extra. and when the Blazers are winning, I cheer for them more. At least, it’s more fun to watch shirts get flung up in to the air. One time, a guy down the row got hit right in the face with one. It was like the vollyball pic below.
If the glory can be killed, we are lost. --John Steinbeck

i think Broy figured it out after last night's loss...
i think he realize if he’s gonna lead this team, he’s gonna have to look in the mirror first if anything is wrong with this team.
something every leader/executive figures out after some reflection…as some in our business would say, i think he crossed the chasm.
it might be premature to predict that he truly realizes it, but i watched him on the bench after last night’s lost and it was pretty evident he was in deep thought about something.

The CTC recommends a change through the end of the year, with arbitration pending the week of January 1-7.

If anybody needs all the support we can give him, it’s Brandon. I don’t think he’s being sucky (relatively speaking) on purpose. He’s a head case. It doesn’t feel right to abandon him now.
by Corvid on Dec 2, 2009 3:41 PM PST up reply actions 2 recs
i feel the same way too but see CTC's point
i still have the BRP fan site which has over 800 fans, so i will be active in running support through there…
after Greg’s first two tough year, he needs a final push to get over the hump…he’s not there yet and his teammates need to realize that. i don’t think they do…
as for Brandon, i can see him fixing his head case faster than if GO was put in this position. i don’t worry too much about Brandon but GO can go off course really quickly if people/teammates don’t recognize his success soon.
the success of this team will rely on the confidence of both Brandon and Greg, but more importantly,Greg, because his status is new and fragile if any of this rambling makes sense
lets go brandon!!!!
there shouldn’t be anything to cheer when the team loses. All fans (real or otherwise) should proceed to their cars in silence; sobbing is also acceptable.

true considering he's out for awhile.
but i feel bad i know he was really excited to start after miller left but just hopefully he starts again once he comes back from recovering.

I hope so too

this is why Hibbert will never be a really good NBA player.
Have fun with Hibbert producing less, Jake. Have fun.
i cry for nic
He is as plodding as they come
And while I expected him to be a solid center, I did not expect some of the numbers he has put up.
Oden would use and abuse him though. As big and strong, AND athletic… Hibbert was a good smart draft pick though.
Roy Hibbert is the African-American version of this guy.

he is a stiff, just a pretty talented one
He did a credible job on Oden during that Final 4 matchup. That’s when I knew he was going to be a pretty good player.

Well, Roy Hibbert isn't a total stiff like, oh, Greg Ostertag was back in the day. Ostertag was ...
an entirely different player in his prime than Hibbert is today, since the Kansas alum was a stout defender with no refine offensive game and the Georgetown alum is a mediocre defender who’s got some moves on offense. In the end, that’s why I compared Hibbert to Luc Longley rather than Ostertag.

I used to go to games when we were really, really bad at basketball so its been fun to watch the past couple years— when we’ve been a solid mid major that has gone to two straight tournaments. I don’t get anywhere near as worked up about these games as I do for Blazer games. I just enjoy following them.

You know what's funny: Simmons has another point, Dampier really moves a lot like Greg
Now that Dampier is in shape again.

Yup
And I think Cuban has given him PEDs. He moves a notch better than he ever did.
