Generous Joel

Allright, I know -- this should have been a fan-shot...but I've been gone awhile and couldn't figure out the new SBN formatting - - (which made no sense at all to me btw)

Anyway, I was reading the July 27 ESPN magazine, and in an article called "6 Things You Should Know About Dealing Athletic Ice" , jewler Harry C. Glinberg says:

"Most guys spend more on themselves than they do on on their women. But there are exceptions. Portland's Joel Przybilla is always buying things for his wife. He just picked out an anniversary ring that's 10 times nicer than most NBA wive's engagement rings."

Now we know the REAL reason she wanted him to not get suspended when he faced off with Chandler - - woulda messed with the gift budget...

Thought you all would get a smile from this - - -Greetings from NC - - DrC

I was hoping this was a post about Joel being willing to take a pay cut to stay with the Blazers throughout the championship window. But that probably wont happen as the wife will need another big time bling ring when it is time for Joel’s new contract. LOL

Joel just wants to buy a boat

I also think this means

Joel cheats on his wife a lot.

No one buys anyone that much jewelry unless they feel guilty.

For shame, Joel.

Every town the Blazers go to...

The incidence rate of STDs goes through the roof.

It’s all because of Joel.

I guess now we know the kind of culture KP was talking about.

Yep,

Joel and Kobe go to the same jewler.

Buying things for your wife is about the same as buying things for yourself.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

If you were a Bucks fan back in 2000

You would have the screen name of 2000DraftBust, because you’d be sick of your franchise blowing a lottery pick on a fat and injured raw no skills big man named Joel Przybilla.

hmmm

based on that, I suspect Joel will definitely take the cash over the championship.

I hope the blazers can win it all this year for his sake and that the blazers don’t trade him or Blake before they get the job done. I know they’d walk away for nothing, but I think our team could still be fine and I’ll take that if they can get a ring. (on the other hand if they didn’t get the ring, i admit that would suck and it’s purely an emotional desire of mine, not one that would be smart for the team if a good move is available).

"Fernandez, to my eyes, is the Blazer who walks that walk most comfortably. A lot of Portland's fans (egged on, dare I say, by their local broadcasters) lament things like how Ron Artest or Yao Ming get to hit Brandon Roy's arms.

But I suspect Fernandez sees all that and thinks: We get to hit arms! Cool!"
