Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Wait, how was Greg Oden a bust?

"Oden had a very productive rookie campaign
This morning SportsNation, whoever they are, voted overwhelmingly in favor of the ridiculous notion that Greg Oden, the rookie center of the Portland Trailblazers, is a busted draft choice. My Win Credit formula, based on David Berri's Win Score efficiency metric, wishes to rebut."

Respect.

The Faith don't panic, the faith freaks out, burns out farms, and torchs small villages in the name of The Faith.

"New Man Law: If you don't show up for the draft you don't get to come later if you're picked. If you believe in yourself, show up and sit there. If nobody else believes in you, take it and cry like a man...in front of the cameras."

I don't think

it’s a coincidence that Oden had his best game against the Bucks and its a bucks website defending him

look at Oden's numbers per 36 minutes

Aside from fouls, it looks pretty good. If he’d played more games and more minutes, everyone would look on him better. Plus, after missing a whole year, sentiment is already against him.

Also, yeah, I love Dave Berri’s wins produced and they show Oden as pretty darned productive (when he’s on the court).

even PER

likes him, but I imagine WS likes him even more.

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.

I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever

I wonder why they have him in LMA's jersey?

Couldn’t they do a “Google Images” search for a better/more recent picture?

Love the respect btw.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
