The big question was, “Where was Roy?” Some people were using this to try to create some controversy between Roy and Rudy.

He was with his family. I think I can give him a pass on why he wasn’t throwing a ball off a backboard in an event that was rigged anyway.

We have tried to come up with a sarcasm font but it sort of takes away from the joke. Tone is really hard to judge in e-mails and many of us make assumptions that people have read all the same stuff we have and the blog is just too big to make that assumption anymore. No apology required. I expected a certain level of misunderstanding.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone had agreed with the post and defended me before I had a chance to let on I was joking.

If he jumps off the bridge we jump off the bridge. That´s what followers do.

It sounds like it should be insulting, but it has nothing to do with anything. Roy is not God’s Son and nobody is questioning his greatness, and Oden had nothing to do with this post so why even bring him up?

awesome!

I kind of explained above what I was doing. Roy is great and I think his commitment to his family (wife, children, and mother) when he could be out getting his face on TNT and “building his resume” is commendable. The best was when he shipped the game ball from his 52 point performance to his parents because they weren’t there. Not only is he a great player but his head is on straight. It makes it even more enjoyable to root for him.

How did you manage to do that again? Can you not give a straight answer? Or is the urge to turn every single one of your comments into some kind of “listen here, boy” preacher sermon just too strong?

Nobody was talking about this franchise or what Brandon Roy has done for it. The original post was meant as a joke. And good grief, nobody cares if you’ve been to every Blazer game since the day you were born, it doesn’t mean anything. Your comments should be solid gold with how much you pretend to know.

Stop waiting for your turrets to kick in before you type.
