Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

About the "famous" foul by Charlie Villanueva: The truth is that at first I didn´t think it was that hard. It was a foul and no more. However, all of a sudden I was on the floor and … everybody was coming on me, they were going to step on me! So I stood up and moved apart. Then, how I can explain it, let´s say that my physic it´s not the best to go into that mess to separate. I couldn´t do too much among all those guys and I could have been suspended.

As I told you, I didn´t think the foul was that hard, but Howard is awesome. I have a wonderful relationship with him, and he´s a like a father for all of us, so he quickly came to defend me. The game was very tough (physically), but we were aware of it: coach told us that they would play that way trying to push us out of the court. It surprised me Hamilton going so much into that kind of play though.

Rudy also says he likes to act for commercials."I like to play the fool, and it´s a lot of fun".

He reminds us that he´s preparing an interview for his fans and you can ask him questions in his website or in his Facebook.

Interesting . . .

When Rudy was on the court, grimacing in pain, repeatedly while the refs had their conference, I was pretty sure it was all an act to manipulate the refs. and then he got 8 free throws in a couple minutes, and now he says the foul wasn’t hard. yay rudy!

Oh my, I have seen the snowball video, but that he almost fell while making it… Would not have been good for his leg or back.

the snowball one...

was that the one where someone threw a pansy snowball at him and he had a super packed snowball and chucked it at another guy?

good actor

It looked to me like part of the foul was a good acting job by Rudy even though it still looked bad enough to me to be a flagrant.

But, I guess Rudy did an even better acting job than I realized!

I am still convinced that Juwan Howard’s technical was the play of the game.

Regardless of whether Rudy "went with it"

CV grabbed him and instead of letting it stay at that …..he spun him to the ground

ya

It was the way he finished off the foul despite already breaking up the shot. It was probably a weak flagrant, but still a flagrant none the less…

The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

I never thought the foul was that hard, but I don't think Rudy acted either.

He was going to fall no matter what after the foul, so he slide down, much like Roy does, to prevent a hard impact.

And he was grabbing his back because he just had back surgery. You go through that and, yeah, you will check your back for a while.

Lastly, it was a hard foul. Just not as hard as everyone made it seem on the court.

The most interesting thing is Rudy almost seems disappointed my Rip Hamilton.

In Bayless I trust.

Thanks, amlmart1

Rudy reminds me of the little kid brother that everyone loves and wants to protect. Men and women want to protect him .. and some of us don’t even have brothers! :)

it's tricky but here's my crack at the translation..

Title: And this is how I survived the foul of villanueva and my favorite ads

Hello again. I guess you all are waiting to hear my version on the ‘famous’ foul that Charlie Villanueva made to me that triggered the brawl in Detroit. I’ll tell you how I saw it.
 
The truth is at the moment he fould me, it didn’t seem that big of a deal to me. It was a foul, yes, but no more. However, all of a sudden I was on the floor … And they all came on me, I was going to be stepped on! So I got up and took off from there. Then, how to explain … lets say that my physique isn’t the best to get in there to separate. Besides you can get sanction and in between all these guys I would be able to do very little …

As I said the foul did not seem so bad, but Juwan Howard is the man. I get along with him very well and he’s like a father to us all, so he went immediately to defend me. The game was very hard, but we were warned: the coach had said they would play like that to get us off the court. But yes, I was surprised to see Richard Hamilton so involved in this mess.

Apart from that, now, I want to talk about one of the things I enjoy doing in this job: recording ads. I have a good time, that’s the truth. I like to play around and have fun. And I do so in English … I recorded one on the radio that you better not listen, and a TV one facilitated by Wells Fargo.

In Spain I have done many: the Yosport, in which I had one day filming, or the San Miguel with the National Team, the famous phrase “A bit fussy, but nice.” It’s amazing how it stuck on the people of Spain. Everyone was telling me, ’Good game. A little fussy, but good. " It was spectacular.

On my website I tend to record some funny things. This year, one day it snowed in Portland I decided to congratulate the people for Christmas on video. I slipped and I could have gotten hurt … So we decided to hang it. To me, when I see a movie, it’s funnier to see the outtakes than anything else. So it’s good that people see also my outtakes. reminds people to ask question on his facebook or website so he can answer them in vdo

excellent translation

Rudy’s language in his blog is very natural and fast, not easy to translate.
Good work!
