she needs to be excited about your style, and thats BLAZERS. You need to help her understand, that regardless of farmars “good natured” behaviour, it simply is not ok to root for the enamy. or maybe you can help her pick out drapes or something

There aren’t too many Jewish NBA players.

at the store. Sounds like she’s got a little crush or something ; ) -

I’d be worried if she starts to want you to wear the Farmar jersey to bed.

Checking out Rudy just as a fair gesture, and then going over to try and end the confrontation. Pau also went into the scrum immediately as what I would deem a peacemaker and not an instigator, which is something the NBA is looking for when assessing penalties and suspensions. Yet he of course has a much longer connection to Rudy as a teammate and friend and you could see his shock later when he realized Rudy was not coming up again. Both gained more respect at least from me.

As for any chances he plays in a Blazers uni in the foreseeable future: Slim to none. His contract still runs through next season and while almost doubling in salary will still be very cheap at just under $2 million next year. So unless someone wants to give up Rudy, Nic or Jerryd 2010 free agency is the earliest, and likely the Lakers are highly interested in keeping him around even at a much higher price since Fish is not getting younger and his contract also ends in 2010.

Take me to the game.

Then again, I’m a misanthrope.

deal with it! ;)

is one of the least hateable L*kers. He’s a Pac-10 guy (regardless of UCLA, Pac-10 is better than not Pac-10), and genuinely nice. If I HAD to chose somebody to root for on that team, it would be him.

is it time to cut the loss?

j/k my wife thought Farmar was cute back when he was playing day games as an LA Defender and night games as a L*ker.. and I had to put up with my mom giving giddy claps for Gasol in the middle of Monday’s game.

anyone see the NBA Fit special where they follow Farmar, Sam Perkins, and Ha Seung-Jin to some Asiatic island to learn yoga techniques? It was pretty interesting..

honestly.. the small town attitude of Blazer fans and their “hatred of all things L*kers” comes off ridiculously.. yea I hate K*be.. and Phil.. and all triangles.. Sasha makes me sick.. Odom bothers me endless.. yea when it comes down to it there is no current team that I dislike as much as LA (although Denver gets close so times, I’d say I’d punch Birdman if I saw him but i’d probably just say ‘excuse me, giant scary sir, please don’t kill me’)..

but.. to agree with… fatty.. its a game.. enjoy that she appreciates anything about basketball.. try to get her to see how classy and good sportsmanlike the Blazers all are and maybe she’ll be blogging with Blazers soon..

I’m not much of a basketball fan, but my husband is a huge fan of the Blazers (I do like them too). While watching the Blazers play the Lakers last night and seeing the foul on Rudy, I have to say that I was impressed with how you (Jordan) immediately went to check on Rudy and then went to pull your teammate away from fighting. I may never become a Laker fan, but I have to say I’m now a fan of yours. Thanks for being human and showing your concern for Rudy. :o)

your wife is officially the cutest chic ever… she’s a keeper but anymore L*ker love you need to um… show her some dirty l*ker highlights.

until I read her comment as posted above by Sophia/BF1.

Something she said has me gravely concerned, for your sake:

I may never become a Laker fan,

It sounds like she’s leaving her options open to possibly becoming a F*ker fan at some point. This is totally unacceptable, there’s no way around it.

Take immediate action.

Donna is reading and enjoying your comments. We will be at tonights game.

poll call. i think while this was a very nice act of compassion
Farmar is already known as being “an arrogant preening pompous dirtbag” .. his teammates love him of course, but not so much anyone else

I’ve dealt with this kind of thing before.

Now Donna, it’s important to know that none of us are judging you. We’ve all done things at one time or another that, in retrospect, probably weren’t the best idea. We’ve all felt the allure of the dark side and wondered what life would be like over there. But before you go leaping headfirst there are some things about this situation you need to know.

It may have looked like Jordan Farmar was concerned for Rudy the other night, but that’s not the case. He was actually over there shaking him down for pocket change. You see, Kobe Bryant—the evil mastermind behind the whole organization—demands that his cohorts give him all of their per diem meal money each day or else he’ll never share the ball with them and they’ll never get a single shot. He uses that money to purchase small kittens to sacrifice on his bizarre purple and gold altar and also to supply a never-ending stream of fuzzy yellow baby chicks, which he swallows whole.

This is the whole scam. One player knocks a guy out and the other goes and frisks him while everyone else is distracted. Ariza played the role to the hilt, first delivering the blow and then talking trash to draw all four remaining Blazers, plus three referees, plus every camera in the place over to him. While he’s playing dueling banjos with the Blazers, Farmar waltzes in and pockets the lunch money.

That’s the kind of organization you’re flirting with, Donna.

As I said, all of us have thoughts of doing something wrong occasionally. Sometimes we might even fantasize about it. But when that fantasy steps over the line into action…like, say, posting on a Laker player’s blog (sorry for the coarse language folks, but it is what it is and we have to be honest about it) then it’s time to get help.

We’ve scheduled an intervention at your house next Tuesday. That’s the soonest we could get enough people and Blazer gear together. Until then we just need you to hold on, stay away from the computer, and don’t do anything further to bind yourself to that team. At least until we’ve had a chance to talk, OK?

If you start slipping and find yourself drawn to that site again, just remember: Put down the mouse, return to spouse. Put down the mouse, return to spouse.

Tweener, if you find any purple and gold paraphernalia around the house—pom-poms, trading cards, God forbid a jersey—remember it can be dangerous. If you handle it at all it’s best to do it with tongs and a mask. Better yet, just call the authorities and let them deal with it.

We’ll get through this together. See you next Tuesday.

And to think I gave you those tickets! Actually, she has a point. Farmar was being a compassionate guy. For a Laker he’s not bad. He’s not jersey popping K*be the adulterer. Going on to his blog, well, that’s really flirting with the dark side. Where does it go from there? And cheering for the Blazers and Farmer? People around aren’t going to notice you cheering for the Blazers so much, since it will be so loud when you do, but you’ll certainly get the stink eye for cheering for anyone in purple and gold. What do you do then? Do you become defiant and root for them more (I am pretty oppositional, so I usually make a point in those situations)? Again a dangerous path. Think about the consequences of your actions before you just jump right in.

and he has huge ears.
