The Real Reason I LOVE Jerryd Bayless
He was asked along with other Blazers, "Who would you pay to watch play?" His answer, "I can't say. They're my opponents." LOVE IT!!!!

I saw that too...
I think the only way to answer that is how Bayless did or choose someone outside of basketball or retired. I do love the guy’s competitiveness.
i love it that pippen is his favorite player. good batum.
"In general, I hate the snap judgments. I hate the rush to predict things. I hate the sports culture that can't think of anything to say unless it is predicting things. I dislike the over-hyping and the following angst-ridden crashes. I dislike the overdrawn, over-simplified, nuance-free generalizations that sprout like weeds over the conversational landscape because accuracy and fairness and truth don't fit as neatly between commercials or quote as easily around the water cooler."

i agree
OH! HE JAMS WITH TWO HANDS! You gotta be kidding me!
Now don't get too excited Bayless, We'll let MB do that -
No get excited! TELL EM WHERE YOU'RE FROM!
Nate McMillian was quoted as saying that he's "an [Anderson Cooper] 360 guy."
That definitely has an underlying meaning to it, although I doubt that McMillan swings both ways.
Ah, yes, almost nothing is more amusing to me than a hilarious double entendre.
a bit of a stretch don't you think?

LOL
Calling himself a “360 guy” and admiring Anderson Cooper in the same thought. Haha, that’s funny. Nice “catch” AK!
if he was a 360 guy, wouldnt he be straight again?
just sayin.. a 180 guy would be more of an entendre
Other than death and taxes, only 4 things in this world are indisputable:
Brandon Roy is the BEST player in the NBA in the clutch.
Montana to Rice were the greatest to ever play the game.
The Four Horsemen of Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine and Avery were unstoppable.
No one protects the pipes like Luongo.

None of you
have any idea how to play table tennis. I rule. See my sig and e-mail me. I’ll show you how it’s REALLY played.

Ah, c'mon
I’m harmless. I just love the game and enjoy showing people that it’s a real sport, not just something where you bat a little ball around down in the basement. It’d be fun.

Oddly enough, she went to Yale.
Not that I think she’s particularly dim (though she needs to work on those interview skills) but still surprising. She was a sprinter there as well.
Interviewing players after the game is such a hard task though.
1. They’re tired
2. If they win the questions are fluff, if they lose the player doesn’t wanna get too into it anyway
3. There’s only like 10 questions you can really ask
Are you reaching the point
Where you will keep following the Blazers even after Shav is gone?
My self talk is that you will because the Blazers are pimp. My self talk also states that Ruffin keeps playing so that Nate has another old man to say “that’s right” and just point at rookie mistakes and say “duh.” Beyond that Shav is good enough to play in the NBA but not old enough to play on the Blazers that’s why he’ll move to Indiana this summer.
You have to pwactice.
well if I'm successful in my next Memphis trip I'll have other patients on this roster
so I’ll be around regardless…
If he’s elsewhere and I can’t secure other Blazers as patients, I will have at least 2 occasions to Bedge – - -if not more if he’s in the west…
I still keep up on things in Sixer-land a little just from having seen so many of their games last year…Portland is a MUCH more interesting team (although Thad Y, Louis williams and AI2 are fun to watch)…
The continuing development of the Blazers young team should be a top-line story in the NBA for the next five years at least…the core group won’t peak for at least another 3+,

16 minutes with the 16-year-old Miley Cyrus would be worth 16 years in federal prison.
Yes, folks, that’s just a joke. As the great comedians say, however, there’s truth in humor.

From what I have read
on other posts, I’ve seen a lot of people on here don’t go to church, but I was surprised that a few blazers put Jesus as the person they would like to meet, I thought it was awesome actually. Any other thoughts on that?
Um, your name is "Godkid86"... of course you think that's awesome.
The last thing I fee like talking about on BEdge is my religious beliefs. I think a lot of people feel that way as well.
I’ll gladly talk hoops and pop culture here though. No politics and no religion. Not here at least.
It's kind of a weird request
I mean Frye has met Jesus hundreds of times already. I mean the guy is the starting SG on the team that Frye plays for.
