June 11th, 2009 AD, Junk Drawer: Super Crazy Sports Superstition/Ritual Edition

PrintAh, sports. We all love em (and even if you claim you don't, you do). And, when "rooting" for our teams in these sports, we all have our rituals to guarantee victory for our team. For instance, some people wear the same outfit every time their team plays (until they lose). Back in the Blazers' season, I wore my B Roy shoes on every gameday, until the Blazers lost. Then I switched and wore my B Roy Jersey every gameday until they lost. My eating habits also changed depending on if they won or lost.
There was this really weird kid in high school who played football and didn't wash his jock for the whole year until we lost (thank god we sucked at football), needless to say, it was the worst thing ever. But we had other rituals on games or during games: in baseball, you NEVER EVER EVER EVER hit the baseline when you are running out onto the field.
Superstitions are insane even in professional sports. Baseball pitchers and hockey goalies are left alone and given the "silent treatment" if they are pitching/goaltending a gem. The Cubs have been haunted by the "Curse of the Billy Goat" for 64 years now. The fans got so desperate, they have hung goat carcasses off of the Harry Caray Statue.
WARNING EAR MUFFS AND EYE PATCHES: GOAT CARCASS PICTURES AHEAD

These are just a few examples among many: Bill Simmons walks his dog after every loss, Roy and Blake and others grew "playoff beards" Tiger always wears red on Sunday, etc.
Soooooooo BEdgers, what are your crazy sports superstitions? Do you do anything in particular before Blazers' games to ensure victory?

I wear my Blazers headband all game day
Even if I gotta go meet people for work and stuff.
I also wear it whenever I take Mercury for a walk, so I wear it 3 times a day.
And, on game day, preferrably during the game live, I give Mercury a “puppy cigar”. I pick out a cigar dependent on what sort of game we need and which cigar fits that description.
I try to only watch if I had accomplished what I wanted to that day, and I was busy a lot this past season, so I ended up DVRing almost every game and watching it later that night.

Have you flagged it?
I presume pics get ignored unless flagged. Otherwise there’s a few pics that I’m surprised have survived the last few days.
I didn't flag it because I don't think it is delete worthy.
I felt the same about the one Morty posted. When -ken explained to Morty why it was deleted it didn’t sound like it was flagged but obviously I have no idea if it was. I’m just wondering what made that one delete worthy but not this one. Just trying to learn what’s appropriate and whatnot.

Well, I think the first defense would be
That this is the junk drawer and that was not, but I disagree with that notion since the picture (while dumb) was on topic and not obscene or gross or anything like that.
But the mod felt like it was more appropriate for a junk drawer setting. I just think the mods shouldn’t delete based on that, if something is on topic. Its not like I am proud of the joke or think it’s a great joke (it is lame on purpose), but it’s still something that is up to someone’s opinion on the worth of the humor and I don’t think we’ll EVER be consistent there.
As long as the joke doesn’t violate some site rules, which I don’t think it did. It was an arty, tame photo.
I don’t mind the deletion on it’s own, the pic was dumb, but I still don’t agree with the deletion in spirit. We’ll never be able to have a set guidelines that specifically spell out what EXACTLY is okay, and I doubt the photo would be deleted again, so it’s just a learning process right now.
Personally, I think all the deletions in that thread that I saw were a mistake and shouldn’t have been deleted, but the mods are learning as we go just like us.

On game day
I never wear anything of the opposing team’s distinctive colors unless, as in the case of the Bulls, they overlap Portland’s. My wife wonders constantly why the new blue boxers and briefs she bought me just sit in the drawer. Too many NBA teams with blue in their color scheme, honey!
Also I try my hardest to never bail on a workout on game daysand to push my hardest during those workouts. I always think, "What if the Blazers just give up in the third quarter? Or worse, what if your slacking off causes some bad karma crap and they end up slacking off?"
When the Blazers were great—as in Finals contenders great—I never ate a thing during the game. Not during commercials, not during quarter breaks, not during halftime…nothing. I will probably return to that when they start threatening deep playoff runs again.
I do not like to answer phones during the game. It’s never worth it.
I will switch colors of pens and the size and type of paper I’m taking game notes on based on how the team does from night to night. For a while at the end of the season I had a nice run going with legal-sized paper and a lime-green thin Sharpie. A little earlier it was letter-sized and pink. Obviously I don’t use opponents’ colors here either. Furthermore I will switch up what surface I put the paper on to provide a writing platform. Our church directory and an Astronomy magazine were doing well for much of the season, so I basically stuck with those.

I never worried about wearing the other team's colors before
UNTIL, years ago, you mentioned you did it, and I thought to myself “Damn, you’ve been screwing your team over this whole time, you shouldn’t wear their colors, it’s like you’re supporting them!”.
I’m not strict about it, but it always passes through my mind now when I try to put on a blue or green undershirt.
I got a new track-type jacket, and couldn’t find a black and red and white one, so I tried to find a nuetral one but it was nearly impossible. I settled on blue and black, not thinking of who has that combo, and it turns out it looks like an Orlando Magics jacket.
That isn’t too bad, I don’t care about them and I doubt I’ll ever HATE hate them.

So, rumors have begun about the coach
Word is, the front office is split about his future.
The general feeling is that he was badly outcoached in the recent six-game series, and the front office may want to fix the coaching situation before this becomes a pattern. Some of their other problems with him:
- He’s known as a defensive coach (as you know, even Lebron raves about him), but the team seems to have regular defensive problems.
- His offense is highly regarded, but bogs down against elite teams, losing all ball movement.
- There’s a feeling that his offense is primarily successful because of you-know-who. Without him, the offense would probably fall apart.
There are rumors the front office wants to make a big splash with a major signing. They may go after Pat Riley in Miami. Big changes may be in store.
As you probably know, the fans are split. Some note that the team has improved year after year since he arrived in the Summer of 2005, and he deserves some credit. But others note that it’s much more due to the personnel than the coach, and that another coach would likely have had similar success.
Here’s the details. I figure the JD is probably a good place to start talking about it.
Brown’s forte has always been defense, “but when the defense wasn’t working against Orlando, he had no idea how to put pressure on them (with offense),” one source said.
My bad, “regular” was an exaggeration for effect. :)
Unintentional btw!
I swore one of the articles I read about it noted that there was internal unhappiness about his defense, but I can’t find it.
Brown isn't a coach to change things up on the fly if things are working
“When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.”
LOL I was just about to say
Would the Cavs’ offense look good without LeBron?

There's been no negative reports
BUT I’m sure a lot depends on how we do this next season, since we expect to do rather well.
M.
Yeah there's no hints of problems from the front office
But to be fair, even if there were, we wouldn’t know about them.
Barring a surprise, Nate’s likely to get a 2 or 3 year extension.
There'd be leaks and reports just like there are about every coach on every team
There’s been nuthin’ but positive stuff from our front office about Nate, but, of course, it all depends on how things go this year.
I think things will go splendidly and he’ll sign an extension and feel like he earned it.
Morty
I mean, after the year we had and the development we've seen
It’s kinda hard for the front office to think the grass is greener if Paul Westphal was coaching us or sumthin’, ya know?
Mo—
Pretty much
KP would take a lot of heat for making a coaching change while a team is improving. It’s just not done. He’d have to be very sure of his decision, and of the replacement.
Unless the wheels come off next year, there’s just no way Nate goes anywhere unless it’s under his own volition, like in Seattle.
they love him
They’ve already tried to extend his contract and HE turned them down.
He will be extended if he wants to coach here. – Elgin
VENTURA: It's drowning. It gives you the complete sensation that you are drowning. It is no good, because you -- I'll put it to you this way, you give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.
I thought this article was gonna be written about the Magic
Once Cleveland beat them, but they didn’t, so it’s written about Cleveland.
They should just do what Lebron wants.
If a Mo or a Big Z played like normal, the series may have gone differently.
Their defense has traditionally been great and their offense was much improved this year. The co-stars floundered when Lebron was doing all he could, so I don’t think it was a coaching problem. Who is he gonna turn to, Boobie? When the main guys don’t show up, what can ANY coach do?
Morty
They should just do what Lebron wants.
It’s pretty much their best chance of keeping him. There have been stories that said he basically owns the franchise as it is… I have to imagine if he wants Brown gone, he’s gone.
For Mike being a defensive coach, Phil is making him look stupid.
The Lakers are throwing all sorts of looks at the Magic and still recovering on their rotations.
I’d say he was so badly out coached against Orlando that this is warranted. If they could grab a hall-of-fame class coach, they should.
Oden and LaMarcus and Roy, oh my!

All NBA coaches
except either Phil Jackson or Stan Van Jeremy, er, Gundy, need to be fired. Which one of those two keeps their job is yet to be determined.
Too bad you can’t trade coaches like players. (You can trade their rights, of course, but you can’t make the coach go work for another team, in exchange for that team’s coaching staff…)

one time before a baseball game in grade school
i double tapped my signed a-rod jersey on the signature(its from when he played for the mariners and before all the recent stuff came out, but i still root for him so that the jersey improves price wise), that game i was like 4-4.
So i figured that was good luck and did that before every game for the next few games. I ended up with a 13 straight-reach-base-streak(i know it sounds lame because they weren’t all hits but i was a kid and very proud of myself). The game i forgot to do it i went hitless. It was during a tournament so i had another game that day. i knew that i went hitless because i didn’t tap the jersey(because it can’t be my skills). So i made my parents drive me home in between games just so i could tap the jersey.
I didn’t hit very well that game either so i decided then that i must not have tapped it on the right spot. See the key was tapping the signature(because once again it can’t be my skills). I hit average the rest of the year so i stopped tapping the jersey. Actually now that i think of it i had a lot of superstitious things that i did when i played sports.
Like i had lucky boxers(krispy kreme donut boxers) and socks(oregon ducks with a basketball on the heels, and if u turned down the heels on them they just said oregon ducks) that i would rock in basketball and my team was undefeated when i wore them(which was quite a feat cause we were terrible). I would flip the heels up and down on them if we were losing to get the right superstition.
yeah
for whatever reason I tended to do some crazy things in the name of sports too

When I was younger I was stupid about superstition
Right kind of gum, gotta do lil’ rituals, lotsa stupid stuff.
Nowadays, all I really focus on is my lucky number (31), which hasn’t steered me wrong. It won me money in Vegas, pops up to tell me I made a right decision in my careerish type stuff, and helps dictate which wedding ring to pick out. It is a magical number chosen by God for the righteous to follow His path.

That's a heck of a number.
I thought my lucky number was 16. Then a ton of stuff went wrong when I was 16, so I dropped it fast. 6 has been pretty good to me

I have so many superstitions... it is ridiculous
In general, if I notice that I have changed anything when the Blazers are doing well in a game, I have to continue until it stops working. (You can all thank me for the Blazers come back against win against NOH this season. Chris Paul going down had nothing to do with it. Had I gone back inside and watched the game on TV, we would have lost, but listening to the entire second half in the car in my driveway… that clinched the win.)
When ever the Blazers are shooting free throws, I hold up my spirit fingers with pride from the moment they get the ball until the moment they release it. When they release the ball, the spirit fingers quickly become two thumbs up. (Steve Blake didn’t lose the game for us against the Clippers, one of the guys I brought to the game didn’t want to do the spirit fingers… Blake had no chance.)
I shaved my head bald and was the first person to touch the game ball before Game 1 (rubbing my head on it.) I will never do that again after what the Rockets did in that game.
My eccentricities extend to gambling as well. I have won 6 times in a row by:
1: Wearing my B-Roy shirt over an under armor long sleeve turtleneck with blue jeans and flip-flops.
2: Getting a Root Beer with ice when I enter the casino; and
3: Never taking a sip of that root beer but having it next to me. (Last time I sipped the root beer and lost big)
I’m working on a lucky formula for Power Ball… when I find it, I’ll be sure to post it :)
I don’t have any game day rituals or believe in superstitions,
I’ts bad luck.

Not to wish demise on anyone else, but I hope he gets a chance to play this year
It was tough to watch Alexander play behind Waters when Shawn first got to Seattle knowing Shawn was the better back. Then when he finally gets the job the next year he turns in something like 266 yards in a game. And he easily could have had 30 more yards in that game.

I just took Mercury for a nice 3:30am walk, when it’s nice and quiet, and for whatever reason a walk outside in the cool night air wakes me up.

I like to walk my dog at odd hours
Way less people wanting to talk about my dog and folks with dogs for my dog to bark at. I know my dog is not supposed to bark at other dogs, but I don’t have any spare dogs to get him acquainted with. I need to find a dog whisperer.
Mercury isn't a barker
Unless a bad guy is at the door making noise.
Other dogs were probably mean to her back when she was made for dog fighting and before my wife rescued her, so she gets iffy around other dogs. She doesn’t attack them, but every hair on her back gets raised and she wants to play rough. She’s usually nice to other dogs, but their owners and sometimes the dog interprets it as her being a bully… which she kinda is.
She loves to try to eat the little creatures in the neighborhood. I pretend to let her eat the squirrels, but pull her back before she gets them. The squireels here are fat idiots, she could eat them so easy. There are also always mice in the bushes around here, so sometimes I let her “Jungle Dog” and get into the bushes and chase invisible mice.
She loves to Jungle Dog, so I try to let her offroad it in the bushes as much as possible.
Also, she does this cute thing with a few dogs in the neighborhood, where she crouches real low and creeps along like she is super sneaky and invisible. Some of the dogs are her mortal enemies, and when she sees them she gets so low and starts creeping slow like an assassin. It’s even better when we are Jungle Dogging and she does it through the bushes like she was in Nam or sumthin’.
She’s a rambunctious puppy, full of moxie.

Carlos is funny
He wants to play but he’s scared at the same time. I think he’s got anxiety or self esteem issues. he doesn’t bark in our house except when some really noisy stuff pops off at the elevator. Actually, today he had a funny bark on the lanai because they are building an Italian restaurant next door. For the most part, he doesn’t bark. All my neighbors are surprised when they see me waking him because they never hear him.
One cool thing with him is that we found out he gets separation anxiety and breaks out in hives when we are gone. When we came home from Alabama, we thought he had a flea outbreak but there were no fleas on him. We went to Maui for just two days and his hives appeared the day we got back. We’re going to Maui this Tuesday so I’ll take him to the vet on Thursday to show the hives to the vet and see if I can get some pills for Carlos. I don’t plan on giving them to Carlos, I’m going to chop them up and snort them while I hang out on the BEdge.

one of my favorite records is Manfred Mann's Earth Band: Solar Fire
they got permission to re-make one song from Holst’s “The Planets”, which was Saturn (MMEB called it “Joybringer” and it was a hit in the UK). They had to make up all their own music for the other planets though. So the Pluto song was called “Pluto the Dog”. – Elgin

I saw Charles a couple years ago in Rapid City, SD.
I was signing into a motel and this lady kept yanking my arm asking me who is my favorite player on Phoenix (He was retired so I’m sure she was a Phoenix fan). He was sitting in the small lobby with two tall drinks, one on each side. These two blondes easily could play forwards. When I finally turned to look he was starring right at me, finally I just turned around and signed in. I think there was a charity event or something. I did say hi to him in the parking lot the next day, but just treated him like an average Joe. I always wonder if someone like that would rather be invisible (average)some days.

I too had a Blazers t-shirt
Not a Blazers Edge shirt, but a nice old school Blazers t-shirt that I got last X-Mas and wore it during that loss to the Mavs at home on X-Mas day.
I don’t know if we won ANY game I wore it for, so I stopped and after I stopped we’ve never lost a game yet. We’re actually playing for the championship right as we speak and primed to sweep the Hawks in my alternate universe Finals.
I wear lucky Blazers black game shorts for games, I forgot about that. They’re comfy and rad.

Awww man
I had toe surgery in Germany a few years back, when I was living in Hamburg, and it didn’t fully fix the problem so every once in a while when my big toe acts up I do the surgery myself at home. I cut into the part of the skin that grows over the ingrown nail, clip out the offending part of the toenail, disinfect and clean up the blood and it’s good to go for a while.
The last time I tried to do the surgery, I couldn’t get a good grip on the ingrown part of the toenail, and I just tried again just now and STILL couldn’t get it. Just a lotta pain and blood but no gain.
Now I’m even more awake and my toe doesn’t wanna stop bleeding. Great. Grand. Terrific.
Yeah, I can go to the doctor, but I didn’t wanna do a full surgery again. My own homemade surgery was working just fine and was real manly. My toe would shake uncontrollably from the pain and it would impress the wife and let her know she can’t whine about all that alleged childbirth pain when we get around to having kids.
But, tonight, just as the other week, it was for naught, and when the surgery doesn’t work it means I am an idiot for cutting into my sick toe and bleeding everywhere.
Mortimer
I used to have those real bad
I found that stuffing cotton, as much as I could take, under the corners, helped relieve some of the pressure and kept them from ingrowing more. I had both big toenails removed in 1990 and my big toenails are just now starting to look normal.
Why do we even need toenails?
Toenails are the appendix of the foot.

My game day ritual is wearing my Irish lucky stone
A flat round stone with a hole in it that I found in Ireland and that has been polished into a flat round amulet. I always had good luck when wearing that, but it doesn’t always rub off on others. The Irish are good with luck and stones. They also have “worry stones” with a concave surface on one side that you can put your thumb in and rub around to get over your worries.
And I tried rotating through three long-sleeve shirts that I really like during the playoffs. A dark green one worked well in game 2, but not so much later so I switched to grey and back.

"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."
Not all
I like shoes, but I love handbags…I used to buy one a month, now it’s just one every couple of months. Besides, living in Florida, most people don’t wear “real” shoes; it’s usually sandals and flip flops over here.
"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."
Oh yeah, I forgot about handbags
It must be killer on the budget if a lady likes both shoes and handbags. My wife buys shoes that cost $300 a pair. I don’t think I’ve ever bought shoes for over $70. I’m a big fan of Nordstrom Rack.
Wow, 300 bucks a pair
Those better be some good shoes :)
I really thought shoes are just a woman thing, but I didn’t realize there are crazy hardcore basketball shoe collectors out there.

Hinrich and a rotation comparison
People always say Hinrich isn’t enough of an upgrade over Blake to pull the trigger. I disagree with this argument but what I wanted to say was that we wouldn’t be replaceing Blake, we’d be replacing Sergio (and Hinrich is a obviously an upgrade over Sergio)
Between the three PG’s last year they shared 60 minutes. Blake 32, Sergio 15, Bayless 13. We hope Bayless gets better and his minutes go up. Let’s give him 18 per because we love him. That leaves 42 between Hinrich and Blake. I see Blake only getting around 12 and Hinrich getting around 30.
Let’s compare these minutes individually on overall quality of play on a > to >>> scale:
Last year >> This year
Hinrich’s 30 >> Blake’s 32
Bayless’ 18 > Sergio’s 15 (an improved Bayless)
Blake’s 12 >>> Bayless’ 13 (last year’s Bayless)
Overall, every PG rotation gets better, it’s kinda like buying a new clean stylish dress shirt and throwin out your old, boring dress shirt from highschool that’s too small and puts your beer belly.on display…your whole dress shirt lineup just got upgraded.

judging by these tastes you need to go back to the 80s and 90s for a lot of stuff.
Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, Joy Division (new order), Depeche Mode, Sunny Day Real Estate, At the Drive In, Shai Hulud, Little Wings (K records), Boy Sets Fire, ummm, Robert Randolph and the Family Band? Sounds like you like a lot of stuff, i tried to think of stuff that you’d be into, i mostly listen to Ravel and various Jazz Manouche guitarists right now.

Blood Sugar Sex Magic is far and away their best album. Their newer stuff is too poppy/generic sounding for my tastes…

Stadium Arcadium was that way.
and I love BSSM, but their sound matured since then, and in a good way for me.

I have The Shins :)
Somewhere in my hard drive, just not in a portable music device. I started listening to them after hearing them for the first time in the Garden State soundtrack.
"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."
Yeah, they became well known through that movie.
You might also like The Decemberists.
I went to the malls and I balled too hard
'Oh my god, is that a Black Card?'
I turned around and replied, why yes but I prefer the term
African American Express
I gave the one album a try...The Crane Wife (?)
And I thought it was okay, but might be worth a second listen. I like their “Infanta” song. It was used in Mad Men, out of all shows.
"The days go on and on... they don't end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people."

I cannot get into the Decemberists.
I listen to the LEFT OF CENTER channel on Sirius radio, they play all of what ya listed for the most part. The Decemberists are just too damn cute for me to like.

Hazards of Love
the new Decemberists album, is amazing. I got the Crane Wife a year or two ago and it didn’t impress me (though it does now) but Hazards of Love I thought was immediately incredible.

Have you heard Grizzly Bear?
They have a new album that came out last week, its worth a listen. Their first album is great. Based upon your singer songwriter selection, I would recommend checking alexi murdoch, piers faccini, and sea wolf, if you don’t know them. If you’re looking for more downtempo stuff: dining rooms, theivery corp, nightmares on wax…. there’s a new album by a group called passion pit, that i listened to last night… it’s pretty good.
I think I've heard of Grizzly Bear...
Though I might be confusing it with Panda Bear, the lead singer of Animal Collective, who has some solo albums out. I love Thievery Corportation (Koop is pretty cool as well). Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Chromeo, Crystal Castles, Justice, etc. are all good too.
I’ll look these groups up; thanks!

it's probably a double edged sword to be a single mommy
because you are trying to reconcile:
Wanting to be independent, and not controlled, with
Wanting to be supported, taken care of, with no strings attached.
At least that’s the situation my lady is in.

My game rituals.
When the blazers shoot their free throws I cover my eyes until I hear the crowd cheer (if we’re at home) or be silent (when we’re away). Also, I have to find a sitting position that helps the blazers win. Sometimes the positions are not comfortable (ie side splits) but if it works I stick with it. Also, there is lucky spot on our living room floor that we knock on whenever we say something jinx worthy.
I went to the malls and I balled too hard
'Oh my god, is that a Black Card?'
I turned around and replied, why yes but I prefer the term
African American Express
Yeah I know.
My olympic rituals are even more complicated. During the Women’s All Around Final I had to do Nastia’s beam routine with her in my living room. It basically consisted of me cartwheeling around and stuff. But she won and thats what counts!

Superstition... writing's on the wall
I had so many habits in baseball I can’t even list them all. Thankfully that’s over.
Gameday – Blazer shoes and some other Blazer gear. And since I’m always late to the home games, I sprint from my car to the stadium… wait, that might not be a superstition…
Playing ball – I have a shooting routine when the court isn’t crowded. At the free throw line I dribble four times, breath in, and shoot on the exhale. Otherwise, my superstitions is to WIN!
Oden and LaMarcus and Roy, oh my!
I think BlazerFan1
should be renamed BlackHole1 as she bends these conversations and once you get in one you cant get out. I am not sure if she exhibits Hawking radiation though (that one was for the nerds.)
BTW Someone made a blackhole like system out of a BEC and shockwaves. Sounds pretty cool to me and may lead to the first experimental evidence for Hawking radiation.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
He is not really saying you are a Blackhole
as much as that you exibit the mathmatical properties of a blackhole
Doesthat make you feel any better???

depends where you sit.

I ended up doing a club seat just under the overhang
It was shady, had access to a private food area (not free though), and was about $60 a ticket.
If we do it again, the wife said she’d really like tickets closer to the field. The seats we had felt too isolated from the action.
It didn’t help that the M’s didn’t provide any action that game.

Man and wife go to his doctor.
The doctor examines him, then sends him out and calls the wife in. She sits and he says, “Listen carefully, because this is very important. Your husband is seriously ill and will die if you don’t do exactly what I say.”
Alarmed, the wife asks the doctor, “What must I do?”
“Every morning you must rise before him and fix him breakfast in bed. You must excuse him from all chores. Do not nag or contradict him. Attend to his every need and whim. Pleasure him constantly. Remember, his life depends on it.”
The wife goes out to her husband and he asks her what the doctor told her.

The wife stops and asks him what is wrong because she hadn’t done anything. He replied, “I just realized the doctor put a hand on each of my shoulders.”

…sounds like someone wants to marry the Lakers AND Utah…
LA is used to loveless marriages of convenience, and Utah is okay with the two timing, so it may actually work out.
So it’s more just an observation from me, and not a negative comment.
Consistency matters more to him than titles.
His own rules say the opposite:
3. Winning a championship is far and away the best thing that can happen.
So it’s weird, Utah has been in the playoffs a few more times, but Portland has been to one more NBA Finals and has won a title.
It's all about the weights.
I don’t just talk about weights, I lift ‘em, unlike that stat-geek Hollinger. He may be smarter, but I’m svelter.

I am conflicted by this one. I feel like about 85% of people who get tasered by the cops definitely deserve it. This woman definitely deserved a good zappin—my problem is that the cop is huge, and he shouldn’t have had any problem cuffing and detaining her without the voltage.

90% of the old people I have ever know are like that lady. The whole “respect your elders” thing is a joke, because they don’t respect anyone else.

How was your date Snakes?
was coffee the right call?
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
went decently well. coffee was a pretty good choice I think, though I do think lunch probobly would have been better. we'll see how my other date goes on Saturday.
I have to think about this one tonight— we get along well and I like her but there wasn’t an instant spark or anything like that.
hmmm you know instant sparks are over-rated? building a relationship through discovery is way better...
instant spark gives you a false sense of compatibility….although, it is fun and if combined with compatibility, you can have both…but in most cases, discovery is better…like Jerry would say, long lasting versus fast acting…unless you like “fast acting”….
hopefully you asked her out again before you left the coffee date…
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
I didn't. I told her I'd be in touch, but I wanted to think about it and see how the other goes also.
I figured that was probably a faux-pas but too late now. I guess I better get in touch with her tomorrow.
yeah most def...i hope you didn't say the words, "i'd be in touch"
it always infer you really don’t want to but you might even though it’s a chore…
just send her a thank you email or text tonight before you go to bed. it will make her night and morning…
don’t string it out too far.
i’m guessing no hug or kiss on the cheek after the coffee? please don’t say we shoke hands or fist bumped
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
lol
I didn’t use those specific words, no. I think I said something dumb like “it was great seeing you” or something like that. She had to get going to friend’s birthday party. No hug or kiss on the cheek. No hand shake or fist bump either.
k cool
She had to get going to friend’s birthday party
that sounds like an exit strategy…what do you think?

well, I knew before the date that she had a friend's party later that night
We talked for a little over an hour, so it wasn’t like she was rushing to leave or anything, though she prob def. have stayed longer also if things were going great.
do i mention a potential 2nd date in my email tonight or do i just say thanks and I had a good time, then wait until Sunday or something?
ask her out again tonight....text is better than email right now...since you can flirt
ask her out so you’ll know where you stand with her…you know where she stands with you but her accepting a full on date would tell you something…
plus, your 2nd date HAS NOTHING TO DO WHATSOEVER with this first date.
treat them as separate instances until you reached 3 dates with both…then you gotta pick and choose…but get to the WCF first, before you decide your starting rotation
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
i meant strategy...starting rotation doesn't make any sense unless i'm SVG
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
thanks. I think this is good advice, but I think I'll email-- I'm not really much of a texter.
Maybe ask her if she wants to do a picnic/walk in the park next weekend or something?
nah, too romantic...
tell her you would like to take her out to lunch @ some place you know that is great (pick a hole in the wall)…and then can wing it from there…but make sure you plan “winging it” …like taking her to ice cream, stroll through a park so you guys can chat…while you are in the park, make sure one of your fake nephews/nieces are there to fall on their azz so you can pick them up…ahahah, well, you don’t need to do that…
but just whatever settings you can get to know her more and she can get to know you…full disclosure…and make sure she gets a hint of something that will throw her off about you but make her interested to know more because there’s so much more to know…for example…“some day, i’m gonna lead the scouting department of the PTB.”
you know, all men have big dreams, and every lady likes to hear that a man has that even if it’s wild and crazy…listen to her first of course, but always provide additional bait so that she can learn as much as you can learn from her interactions with you.
get the date first then go from there…the goal is to have fun and seeing if you want to have fun with her for a longer period of time and her with you

I was skeered and fearing for my life
I was shakin’ like a leaf on a tree
cause he was really mean and big n bad
pointin that gun at me
I said: wait a minute mister
I didn’t even kiss her
want no trouble with you
I know ya don’t know me
but I wish you would let me
ask one favor from you
Won’t ya Gimme 3 steps
Gimme 3 steps mister
gimme 3 steps toward the door
Gimme 3 steps
gimme 3 steps mister
and ya won’t see me no more
for sure

Burnettes is turrble vodka. It's the Mad Dog of vodkas.
I definitely miss Crater Lake Vodka, made by Bendistillery in Bend, OR. It is not available down here. I bought a bottle when I was up in Portland about 6 weeks ago. I shoulda bought a case, because my friends really liked it, too.

How is UV Pink Lemonade vodka?
I lied when I said it was what Peternohead has… it is a different brand.
I don’t know booze.
I once had a vodka tasting party (like a wine tasting).
It was blind judging. Everyone had a half shot of about 8 different vodkas, and had to vote on the taste, quality, etc and then try to match the sample to a score card. I had everything from bumtastic toilet water vodka to high end stuff. Grey Goose did surprisingly poorly—it is definitely overrated. I can’t remember which brand won, but Crater Lake came in 2nd; not bad for a $20 bottle. There was vodka trivia and poker playing involved, too. I should do that again.
I have been called Vodka-boy before.

And people compare this unathletic guy to BRoy? That’s insulting to Roy’s athleticism. Harden doesn’t jump higher than a tennis player when he shoots jumpers.
His shooting is purdy
He’s not very explosive but he still has some ups. He’s the unatlhetic deceptively athletic type
The ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more than the blood of a martyr.
At No 2 he could turn out to be far surpassed by some higher risk higher reward guards going fourther down the draft.

We as in Idaho don't really last season
And Portland and the D-League is a complicated story. They don’t really seem to use it a lot, e.g. I would have sent Sergio and Bayless there for a while.
There are some decent big men in the D-League, but most at least somewhat talented big guys get directly into the NBA since those teams are sucking up talented guys with height like a sponge.
My favorite DL player right now is probably Othyus Jeffers, but that is a SG/SF who defends and rebounds very good.
what do you think of Pops
I seen him play a couple times. Brings a lot of energy off the bench. Likes to bang and I bet we could get him for cheap

Toronto can make him a qualifying offer. I have watched him in Dallas and would have liked him for this team with his athleticism. I wouldn’t want him as my #2 backup, rather end of bench.

Yeah, it was smart
But at the same time you KNOW they are trying to spread out the defense with the fullcourt to be able to get that 3, so Jameer needs to be smart enough to realize a 3 is coming and be willing to give up that quick 2.

I'm not quite as convinced yet.
He’s been a decent hitter for a while, and he moved to a hitter’s park, with real hitters around him in the batting order, so pitchers can’t work around him.
On top of that, the first half of the year has been a statistical anomaly, he may come back to earth naturally in the second half of the season (while still being improved overall due to the reasons above), and everyone will say “oh, he just had an extra-big hot streak” and dismiss it in the end.
But yeah, his age and the sudden breakthrough does look questionable in and of itself. And it’s not like I know Ibanez is clean or something. It’s just reached the point that anything unusual, especially in baseball, is attributed to steroids now.
And that’s all on Bud Selig.
that's all true
When a 37 year old is 2/3 of the way to his HR career high by mid-June, I immediately think steroids, even when there are other factors at work (ballpark, lineup, small sample size, etc).

clearly instead of straight
“straight” could insinuate something if someone wanted to take it that way

Its not like the Blazers are ever going to catch the Lakers in titles anyway. This way at least the Magic don’t catch us at 1.
BRANDON ROY WILL WIN THE NEXT 15 TITLES

That's a pretty good list
My wife and I noticed we’ve left Colbert for Conan the last few weeks, and she previously wasn’t a Conan fan. She’s been chuckling nightly, and that’s tough with stitches in your nose.
Also a good call on Leno over Letterman. I’m not sure what happened to Dave, but his show has become unbearable.
We forgot to set the PVR for it
We’ll probably pop by his web site over the weekend and watch the episodes. I heard he did some great stuff.
Wait, doesn’t Comedy Central do a Sunday morning marathon of the week’s episodes? Hah, 7-9am. Click.
I'm not a big Stewart fan
I find he isn’t exactly the most “moderate” guy lol
