JUNK 6/30

PrintI'm not sure who the hell I was listening to yesterday on SIRIUS, but they were discussing their favorite "summertime jams".
This seems like a naturally good topic for a JUNK DRAWER, so:
What are your favorite songs for the summertime?
Here are a few I could think of off the top of my head:
Nuthin' But a G Thang : maybe my favorite beat of all time.
Fantastic Voyage : this one is for tinfoil
Steal my Sunshine : did LEN ever do anything other than release this song?
Summertime : Welcome to Earf
Big Pimpin' : I like this caribbean style beat
Jessica : the allman bros. are rad
Hot Fun in the summertime : sly and the family stone are great too

damian marley is a beast
Don’t know if i’d consider that song summer song though. I bit dreary. Nuthin but a G thang sure does bring me back to summer break early 90s

wtz are you talking about, cloudy?
Taking you back to summer break early 90s puts you in diapers,.
"I don’t give a ZACH about no trade rumors. As long as somebody ‘CTC’ at the end of the day, I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut the Check. I just go out there and play. Again, somebody just ’CTC'." -Sheed
(Played with Sublime in 1998ish at John Henry’s in Eugene. They were very drunk when they showed up at the club and almost got kicked out for bringing in their own beer from their van. Their bass amp had blown up the night before, so I lent them ours (AKA mine, although I was playing guitar) and in turn they gave us two CDs [… “Robbin The Hood” and “40oz to Freedom”]. I had the stomach flu and went home early after our set. My mates came home and woke me, saying we had played with the best punk band ever. I listened to the CDs of this no-name band and was BLOWN AWAY. Too good.
I saw them again at the LaLuna in Portland before that went out of business. They were great, but soooo hammered. Sad to see such talent go down the tubes so fast.
On the other hand, my relatively low talent self is headed to the bars.
Night all!
If you hear from me later, take it with a grain of salt … and some lemon.)

Brian Windhorst spits the trooth
Teams hatching ideas to pay stars $10-35 mill less so they can play together while plotting to also destroy them in new CBA is interesting.
The term “make it up in endorsements” is popular, I know. Except, if you haven’t noticed, there aren’t many rich endorsements anymore.
Example: LeBron signed a 2-year deal with McDonalds this year for a fraction of what he made on deals as rookie. Also took Nike paycut.
All I’m saying is the concept of stars leaving tens of millions on table in their primes would not be something we’ve ever seen in sports.
We could soon have 7 guards, and the B+B team is talking about adding another one
Either there will be a monster guard trade, or they fear about protecting Roy
or there is no direction or long term plan.

I slink down the alley looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin’ the blues while the lady cats cry,
“Wild stray cat, you’re a real gone guy.”
I wish I could be as carefree and wild,
but I got cat class and I got cat style.

But these are two songs i enjoy listening to when its warm outside (beware it’s rap)
The song that most makes me think of sitting out in the sun, drinking a beer
Magic Carpet Ride – Steppenwolf
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
Anything by the Beach Boys is usually pretty good (if obvious) summertime fare

Two schools of thought
1. the earlier the better because then you avoid imprintation all together and remain closest to the unformed/unborn mind.
This usually doesn’t work, even for hippie children (see Courtney Love)
Then there’s he more common thought:
2. After a full life, the elderly person (around 50, ha!) leaves his/her grown children and possessions and normal life and (literally) goes into the forest (literally) naked or with a simple covering and does not speak for 2 months to two years. After a period of time, they begin to forget who they “are,” that is to say the series of habits that they once assumed made them “themselves,” and becomes totally without compass. It helps to have another person there who has gone through this stage because people become morally indifferent as well, much like a falling leaf doesn’t consider the right or wrong of that wind that blows it to the ground.
Western Hermetic tradition usually has the older man trying to finally get what life is all about, throwing off his beliefs (very slowly and painfully) and coming out of his game. Today lots of younger people are going down this path, but I always wonder if their “motives” aren’t getting in the way a bit. The will to conquer is very strong in young people.
My vote … Later in life will work better, but earlier won’t hurt.

It’s hard to hear inflections of tone and sarcasm via internet print. In all reality though, I don’t think I’m a person who is going to break the shackles placed on people, or even myself, because I enjoy being led around, but I will do my part to make progress. Eventually, we will make it, whether it be through complete human enlightenment or annihilation.
Besides, I appreciate the gift of being able to think so much that I almost don’t care.
This will probably change. I’ll worry about it later.

Slightly OT
But Man City just spent $27M to get Silva from Valenica, methinks given that they sold Villa too they may be in financial trouble.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
27 million pounds actually
So a bit more than $27M

This has actually been rumored for quite some time. What happened is they built a new stadium based on the expectation of building a condominium development on the site of the old ground, but the real estate market collapsed in the mean time. Now they have the bill for the new stadium and no $$.
I don’t see Donovan getting in that team in front of e.g. Silva.
Yeah, neither do I
I hope Everton or some more mid-tier team offers him a contract now. Would rather see him in MLS than languishing and not playing in the EPL.

Speaking of which
If the Timbers beat Seattle tonight they play Donovan and the Galaxy in the next round of the US Open Cup (probably down in LA).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
It usually flips home and home
E,.g. Portland hosted round 1, was away round 2 and are hosting round 3.
But both Portland and LA (which beat St. Louis 2-0 last night) will have hosted this round, so…
Its a regional draw to keep costs down for the smaller teams so that’s why Portland played a team from Northern CA and one from WA before playing the Timbers.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
They should be able to stay up
Given how weak the bottom of La Liga is but I wouldn’t be shocked if they flirt with relegation.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
still too much talent
they just bought Soldado (a Spain international), and they still have Joaquin (old but still good), and Pablo Hernandez (another winger on the edge of the Spanish senior team). Coupled with a pretty solid defense of Navarro, Marchena and Ricardo Costa. I’d bet on maybe 8-10, and potentially challenging for a Europa League spot if it falls into place.

Rivers coming back
http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sports/celtics/index.php/2010/06/30/source-rivers-staying/
Doc Rivers is not opting out.
The Celtic coach will be returning to the club for at least the remaining season on his contract, a source close to Rivers indicated moments ago.
The fact Rivers is staying on would seem to be an encouraging sign that the Celtics’ main players will also be back for another season.
Rivers was seriously considering a sabbatical from coaching on the grounds that a break would allow him to spend time with his family after six years apart coaching the Celts.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Lol, I want Chris Broussard's job. Assets: None. Hey, let's trade those for CP3.
Portland Trail Blazers
Objective: See if Greg Oden can stay healthy and use the mid-level exception to bolster the backcourt.
Assets: None.
The plan: While the window isn’t closing, the Blazers realize that teams younger than they (i.e., Oklahoma City) are coming on strong, so they want to be aggressive in bettering their roster. They are high on rookie small forward Luke Babbitt, whose outside shooting ability should help the Blazers space the floor. As for the backcourt, they could wind up with a backup or use the expiring contracts of Andre Miller and Joel Przybilla to trade for a starting point guard.
Alternative advice: With Marcus Camby aboard, Przybilla has become expendable, especially if Oden can ever get back on the floor. So let’s package the contracts of Przybilla and Miller and make a run at Chris Paul. Miller would help second-year PG Darren Collison develop in New Orleans and Przybilla would be nice playing behind Emeka Okafor. Better yet, they’ll give the Hornets financial relief after next season.
If that doesn’t work, how about sending the duo to Boston for Paul Pierce? If Doc Rivers doesn’t return as head coach and Ray Allen goes elsewhere, the Celtics might have to begin rebuilding. The future cap relief of the Portland duo might be attractive to Boston, which is also looking for a big man like Przybilla with Kendrick Perkins on the mend.

I understand that is the most likely scenario, but I think my criticism of Broussard’s hypothetical stands.
Wouldn't Boston rather sign PP for a nice contract
And then IMMEDIATELY trade him for salary savings? It makes perfect sense.
Sign Pierce, then trade him so you’re paying that money to guys you don’t really want. Sure. Much more sense instead of, say, just not signing Pierce ever.

You talking a sign and trade?
If not…then wouldn’t they have the same problem we have if we wanted to trade LMA? Base Year somethin’ or other

The only reason I even mentioned KG being over rated is because I feared that if I said Pierce was and didn’t say anything about KG being over rated people would jump down my throat and say he is. I know a lot of people think KG is very overrated, but I don’t see it nearly as much as many players in the league, and nowhere near Pierce’s level.

KG is pretty good
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/tiny.cgi?id=5oFK3
Arguably the third best player of the 00’s behind Duncan and Shaq.
KG was an exceptional player at one time
He no longer is. I’ve never liked his act of course (barking at Bayless, really?).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
His act was something he developed when he went to Boston. So weird, and really seemed out of character, particularly considering he seems so decent off the court.
And I always loved his intensity
You can never say KG didn’t care about every game.

ESPN is keeping broadcaster Martin Tyler for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
“We have a deal with Martin for 2014,” Jed Drake, the executive producer of ESPN’s World Cup coverage, said in an interview at the network’s office overlooking Soccer City.
Tyler is regarded as one of the top soccer announcers in Britain, where he broadcasts the Premier League and Champions League for Sky Sports. He is part of ESPN’s all-British play-by-play crew for this year’s World Cup matches, joined by Adrian Healey, Derek Rae and Ian Darke.
“That was all the talk coming in,” Drake said late Tuesday. “Once they got on the air, that’s gone away.”
Tyler was hired for this year’s tournament following criticism of Dave O’Brien, the network’s lead announcer during the 2006 World Cup.

Good commentary for ocne
Jamie Trecker on yesterday’s games:
ESP-POR:
The evening matchup between Spain and Portugal was billed as the match of the knockout round. It turned into a coronation.
This was a magisterial performance from a Spanish side that finally began to hit its stride. Spain’s loss to lowly Switzerland in the group stages is forgotten, as is the timidity and errant passing that seemed to bedevil them even against lesser opponents like Honduras and Chile. While key striker Fernando Torres remains unable to give his side the full 90 minutes, Spain again demonstrated that it has so many players who can change a game that they almost don’t need him.
PAR-JPN:
Turgid, constipated, negative — these adjectives are insufficient to describe a match between two teams so desperate not to lose that they ruthlessly smothered any creativity and life. If football truly is the beautiful game, then this match was the inept paint-by-number canvas at the tag sale.
These two might have just spared us all the trouble and taken the penalties before the game started. Getting to the shootout seemed to be Paraguay’s entire game-plan, anyway, as they did nothing to suggest they cared about winning the game in regulation. Japan was fractionally more positive, but they were equally fearful and played a game as unappealing as a week-old ham sandwich.

Ebert doesn't like Last Airbender
Gives it a half-star.
http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100630/REVIEWS/100639999
“The Last Airbender” is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here. It puts a nail in the coffin of low-rent 3D, but it will need a lot more coffins than that.
Let’s start with the 3D, which was added as an afterthought to a 2D movie. Not only is it unexploited and unnecessary, but it’s a disaster even if you like 3D. M. Night Shyamalan’s retrofit produces the drabbest, darkest, dingiest movie of any sort I’ve seen in years. You know something is wrong when the screen is filled with flames that have the vibrancy of faded Polaroids. It’s a known fact that 3D causes a measurable decrease in perceived brightness, but “Airbender” looks like it was filmed with a dirty sheet over the lens.

he doesn't hate 3D
he hates 3D that is shoddily done, especially when a 2D film is switched to 3D in post production. Here is what he said about Avatar’s 3D:
Cameron promised he’d unveil the next generation of 3-D in “Avatar.” I’m a notorious skeptic about this process, a needless distraction from the perfect realism of movies in 2-D. Cameron’s iteration is the best I’ve seen — and more importantly, one of the most carefully-employed. The film never uses 3-D simply because it has it, and doesn’t promiscuously violate the fourth wall. He also seems quite aware of 3-D’s weakness for dimming the picture, and even with a film set largely in interiors and a rain forest, there’s sufficient light. I saw the film in 3-D on a good screen at the AMC River East and was impressed. I might be awesome in True IMAX.
he also didn’t like the 3D in Toy Story 3. which he admits might have made him like the movie less.
A. I have to be honest with you. I fully believe if I could see the film in 2D, my opinion would deepen and improve. I realize I’m in danger of sounding like an obsessive on his topic, but I find 3D an annoyance and a distraction, and the light in the screen in invariably dimmer than it should be. The so-called third dimension is getting between me and the heart of the story.
he’s also written in his blog several times about how he doesn’t like 3D in movies. but yes, he did make an exception for Avatar, a movie he loved. for some unfathomable reason.

Don’t think we have the same taste in movies. It won the Un Certain Regard award at Cannes. It was described to me as a mix of Haneke and The Exterminating Angel, which is a pretty good description, though with a strong dose of the New French Extremism mixed in (think Breillat and Noe). A lot of dark comedy in the Bunuel vein.

As to listening to music on shuffle
as much as I sometimes like to do so, I feel like if I were a musician, I would hate the shuffle feature. There are some albums(some more so than others, IE concept album) that have a perfect flow to them, and when played on shuffle, something gets lost in the translation. And as for final album tracks, I tend to make sure I listen to a CD all the way through, even if it’s in a couple of sitting or short car drives, so I never really forget about, but I can easily see how it would happen to many people.

They’ve fenced in the Square for the Winter Beer fest and stuff. You’d probably still be able to hear, but they aren’t really charging that much. 65 bucks for all the venues + one of the big shows or 90 bucks for both shows.
Yeah, I went two years ago, missed last year even though we planned on going
and we aren’t certain about his year. We’re doing one bumbershoot day(the bob dylan/decemberists/neko case day) and can’t decide if we have the money/can justify doing MFNW as well. The problem for me, this year, is that the two shows I want to see most are the marquee shows being down in the Square, which means I’d have to get the 90 dollar wristband, or just pay 32$ and fees for each of those shows.

My one issue with Bumbershoot has been they have some truly awful venues. The mainstage is the old football stadium in Seattle Center, and the thing they call the “exhibition hall” (where they hold a lot of the dance and hip-hop shows) is like a high school cafeteria.
The EMP (PA’s $$ FTW!) is pretty neat though.

i'll take that back
the 2nd best was when i was 17 and 2 strippers performed an awesome live act with me sitting bedside at their house. i then asked one of the strippers to prom only to get denied by the student body government.

When asked about his time in Portland his answer:
“the thing I’ll take away from Portland is the fans and their support…the playing is what it is and that’s all I’ll say”

He also talked about the triangle offense in Minny and his basketball camp going on now.

We don't need a backup PG
We have Bayless.
Stop laughing, I’m serious. I fully believe Bayless will emerge as a legit PG this year.
Hopefully he can keep improving his shot
But I don’t think backup PG was a problem last season, or the playoffs.
I’m happy to go with Jerryd as the only backup.
#52
Though this does raise the question of where we use the MLE
if at all. Backup PF? Who is available?
What am I doing? These aren’t JD topics!
that is hard to gauge
I don’t know enough about him. If he is struggling, there will be a lot of pressure on Batum to carry the load. Plus, if he is slow on defense, it’ll be interesting to see how the team adjusts to going from Batum to Babbitt.

So, if folks really are going to meet up before tonight's Timbers game
We need to plan this. BRP promised to send out e-mails but I sure haven’t gotten one.
I’ll through out the Bullpen at 6 (it might be full of Timbers Army people but at least its cheap and good) with the proviso that for those of us (like me) that have never met you folks before, we need to have a place to meet or know what to look for.

possible hornets trade: collison & Juju to port. for Rudy fernandez and right to joel freeland

sounds too good to be true.

FANTASTICO trade
If Collison is our man in Pakistan for the job.
Funny how much JuJu sucks, and I assume the reports of him being a bonehead are true. I didn’t like how he couldn’t shoot at all coming into the league, but I liked his athleticism and ability to pass and dribble. I thought he’d be more than he is.

Not anyone with hoops sense
Collision would be a great backup for now and possible future starter when Dre moves along in a few years.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
rudy had an unusually bad year
i think he would bounce back into a legit starting SG with cp3 at his side.
monty probably realizes that
in KP i trusted
wonder what they'd do with thornton, though
that guy threw up some sick games last season.
in KP i trusted
It's an interesting question
Would Rudy still come off the bench or would he start?
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Depends on which Rudy they get
Last years Rudy wasn’t better than Thornton, I’d say. Sadly.
Like Timmay I am not in a rush to trade Rudy, but Collison had an awesome rookie year and seems to fit perfectly. As long as he doesn’t face a Dre post up PG in the playoffs, we’re golden.
#52
And we know Monty knows both Rudys
So he’d handle him well.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
that would be amazing
but its way too good to be true. would NO really take that? is ‘juju’ a big contract they’d want to get rid of?
"Bof teemz play hahd"
That's a good comparison
I thought he’d be at LEAST as good as Jeff Green, but for all of Jeff Green’s mediocrity, he blows Julian Wright away.
#52
He's a bust
That we’d almost certainly try to trade or waive for the roster spot I would guess.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
so essentially it's Rudy and Freeland for Collison?
that would be incredible. Unless Freeland is really expected to come over and is expected to be great(two things I havent’ really heard talked about), we’d be robbing NO here. DO IT!!
"Bof teemz play hahd"
I don't get the trade for them
They are already under the luxury tax threshold with the Mo Pete trade I believe.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Salary:
Julian Wright
Year 1: $2,858,056
Year 2: $3,952,693
Per game averages:
Year 1: 3.9ppg, 2.1rpg
Year 2: 4.4ppg, 2.8rpg
Year 3: 3.8ppg, 2.1rpg
He’s likely to be cut. I’m not sure his contract is worth enough to give up Collison, unless they think Rudy is a long-term fit next to CP.
To be clear, his salary is for upcoming years 1 and 2, his per game is for his rookie through season 3.
They don’t coincide, sorry.
Or traded for a pick
Guaranteed contract.
You could probably get a second rounder for him.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Its not that much of a salary
Cheap rookie deal.
Of course PA could easily afford to buy him out.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Yeah that's the thing. Even if it's a cheap rookie contract, it's still too much if you don't get anything for the money.
Otherwise, as you said, Portland can buy him out, or even keep him.
Odds are, Portland keeps him for 1 season, then trades him during next year’s draft with $3mil to cover the majority of his salary.
He only has one year left on his deal
Then he becomes a RFA at which point the team that has him probably renounces their rights to him.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Thanks to both, it's my bad. I didn't see that Hoopshype's second year salary was a QO.
In that case, yep. Trade him and cover his salary.
And we can't keep him
Since we’re going to have to cut Mills just to be able to use our MLE (with the 3 picks we are at 15).
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
For some reason, I'm ready for Mills to be cut.
I wasn’t happy that he basically hijacked a roster spot last year. Sure it’s business, but I don’t have to be thrilled about it.
I am too
He’s a long-term project on a team that can’t wait four or five years to see if he’s good.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I have not posted in any of the appreciation threads.
I don’t know why, but I feel it gets less sincere each time one goes up, as epitomized by the Ryan Gomes one. Plus it sucks when you click on an appreciation thread and find yourself amidst a battlefield. I’d rather just keep it inside.

I ain't gonna spend time looking it up
But if one goes back to, like, 2006 or 2007 and read comments about Outlaw, predicting allstardom, better than Roy-dom, it’d prolly be both sad and funny.
Some people were just so HIGH on Trout. And I love the kid himself, but it was like people were imagining things.
Rudy had a slight run when he first came around where some people thought he’d be better than Roy, as well.

Bidding war for Pac-10(12 actually) TV rights between Fox and ESPN
http://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/article/66155
In fact, the bidding war over the Pac-10’s TV rights already is developing, leading some industry executives to predict that the conference’s windfall could hit ACC-type numbers. In May, ESPN agreed to pay $1.86 billion over 12 years for the ACC’s rights. That deal hasn’t been finalized.
The Pac-10’s current deals with ESPN and Fox Sports Net end in 2012, and sources say that the two networks already are informally making their interest known via several events that have been set up with Pac-10 coaches in New York, Los Angeles and Bristol, Conn.
"They won’t be negotiating," said one media executive who plans to attend one of the events. "But it’s definitely part of the courtship process."
I’d be shocked if ESPN didn’t make a strong bid. ESPN loves college sports. It has extensive deals with the Big Ten, SEC, ACC and Big 12 and could use the Pac-10’s later windows to round out its schedule.
ESPN recently sent word to the conference that it is interested in discussing a possible channel partnership, sources say. The move is a significant one for ESPN, which in the past has tried to keep conferences like the SEC from launching such a channel, and it shows that ESPN will be a serious bidder.
But ESPN isn’t alone. I expect Fox will also make a significant bid for the broadcast and cable rights. Since Chase Carey returned to Fox last summer, the broadcaster has become more aggressive about adding sports to its programming lineup. Just last month, for example, Fox nearly stole the ACC’s rights from ESPN. I can’t see the broadcaster passing on a conference that’s in its own backyard.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
The Pac-10 will dwarf those
FB is the main driver of those and Pac-10 football is thousands of miles ahead of the ACC.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
But the Pac-10/12 will also have its own network
Which will add to that.

PDX voted top city to visit this summer
The Best
#1 Portland
No. 1 for summer travel, eco-friendly Portland also grabbed the No. 1 spot for its parks and No. 2 for its farmers’ markets.
When Not to Go: Winter/Christmastime is when most respondents avoid this Oregon city. Unlike NYC with its tree lighting, Portland doesn’t offer much incentive for visitors to bear the damp cold.
Average Summer Temp: 66 degrees
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely

though this may mean more obnoxious tourists. Hey California people! it’s cold and rainy every single day and our beaches have no waves so don’t come here.

How to get to Powells by tourists. Apparently I look like a knowledgeable local. Dont’ mind telling them.

Amazon bought them just in time to announce it before the end of the fiscal quarter

Yeah, for sure.
I’m just a bitter cynical 20 something Portland local and I get tired of people moving here and then complaining about it every day.
"Bof teemz play hahd"
For the record, I do totally understand.
Portland is great for the locals, and the tourists (who are always in the “it’s all about me! I’m more important!” attitude) really hurt the atmosphere.
Some do, some don't
Most tourists I’ve run into are pretty cool folks. The only annoying ones are the foodes. The dudes who show up at A Pizza Schools and whatnot and act like jerks.
I still find it odd that this city (which used to have virtually no tourists) has so many people wanting to come here for so many different reasons.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
there are many reasons why Portland has launched into the national eye in recent years
i’m happy about it on one hand, because revenue is great for our city, but the group of people who are either tourists or Portland transplants and are couple richards make me really grumpy and then I get a bit turned off from the whole idea.

Just awful people, who believe since “We’re on vacation!” everyone should get out of their way.
yep, i've encountered that a few times too.
such a horrible experience. I can’t imagine how bad it must be for foreign countries when American’s do the stereotype thing and give us all a bad name.
"Bof teemz play hahd"
When I'm abroad and see Americans doing that
It pisses me off so much. What’s the point of travel if you aren’t going to accept and celebrate the differences between cultures….
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
fully agreed
and then it gives people who are respectful of other cultures who simply want to travel for life experience and yadda yadda a terrible name because they assume we’re just like the 800 pound behemoth and his trophy wife who destroy everything we touch and insult people left and right.
"Bof teemz play hahd"
I shocked the restuarant in the hotel I stayed in when I was in Ho Chi Minh City
Because I ordered actual Vietnamese dishes, not tourist dishes. They told us and the rest of our PSU-sponsored group that they didn’t expect Americans to do that.

Indy seems like the type who'd buy Shortround a nice hooker as soon as he turned 12
Have you ever read that PDF found the other year where it’s the story meetings between Lucas and Speilburg and Kasdan about what Indy would be? It’s pretty long but interesting to read the back and forth and debates about why and what would happen.
It was just the transcript written by an assistant in the room.
In it, Lucas wanted Marian to have been 13 or 14 when her and Indy had an affair with her, and that was part of the reason him and her father had fallen out.

Haha, it was worse than I remember
Lucas wanted her to be 11 or 12 when Indy and her first started sexing.
L — I like it if they already had a relationship at one
point. Because then you don’t have to build it.
G — I was thinking that this old guy could have been his
mentor. He could have known this little girl when she
was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.
L —
And he was forty-two. .
G — He hasn’t seen her in twelve years.
two. It’s a real strange relationship.
S —She had better be older than twenty-two.
G — He’s thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when
he was twenty-five and she was only twelve.
G — It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the
time.
S — And promiscuous. She came onto him.
L = Lawrence Kasdad
S = The Steven
G = Lucas

Can anybody tell me why ESPN3 suddenly stopped working for me?
I watched most of the World Cup on ESPN3, then tried to cue up the Netherlands group 16 game and got a message that I didn’t have the right carrier (which I don’t… Time Warner apparently isn’t supported by ESPN3). If this is the case, how was I getting access before? Is there a hack or something that I unwittingly did then undid?
for whatever reason for a while they had stopped making you log in using your local carrier for about a month… now they’ve started up again… my guess is something was missed in updating the webpage and now it’s been corrected

i just got boozer and lbj to the bulls, and bosh and wade in mia. that’d probably be interesting right?
by EvilKaramazov on Jun 30, 2010 2:48 PM PDT up reply actions
the scenarios are more or less random so they’re pretty unrealistic, but still, it pretty clearly illustrates that there’s a really high likelihood that one or more teams are just gonna strike out completely. I mean, what the hell do the the Bulls and NYC do if Amare goes back to Phoenix, Joe Johnson signs with Atlanta, and LeBosh end up in Miami? They have 4 players on their roster!
The last couple days I’ve wondered if it’s in the NBA’s best interest to have LBJ, Bosh, and Wade all on the same team. What do you guys think? Does a dynasty provide more than say a handful of teams w/ hope at the beginning of every year?
by EvilKaramazov on Jun 30, 2010 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions
it’s a great story if three superstars swallow their pride and agree to play for less money so they have a better shot at winning a title
it sounds like you want to sell newspapers. what about the brand of basketball?
by EvilKaramazov on Jun 30, 2010 3:00 PM PDT up reply actions
i don’t see a dynasty from those 3 guys.
still just one bball to go around.
Dwight Howard has a better chance to win a title than those 3 guys together.
fiftytwo
i’m not joking.
they didn’t look that great together in the olympics.
huge ego/mental composition flaw with that group.
fiftytwo
you think those 3 together would build a dynasty?
i rather just have Lebron and a decent center.
fiftytwo
lebron/bosh to chicago >>>>>> lbj/wade/bosh in miami
lebron will win multiple titles, i don’t think it’s dependent on bosh or wade.
fiftytwo
In all honesty, pairing LBJ with Derrick Rose has teh same usage ...
fears as pairing him with Dwyane Wade. In addition, it lacks the same immense upside. So yeah, I’m shaking my head in chagrin here.
It's up there with Timbo's love affair with Martell Webster and Juwan Howard.
Anyhow, while it’s plausible a trio of Chris Bosh, LBJ, and Dwyane could implode from within, it’s clearly worth the very slight risk. As it is, though, I don’t expect LBJ will go to Miami, since it’s doubtful that he wants to share the spotlight with Wade.
So yeah, being afraid to pair LBJ with Wade is risk aversion at its absolute worst.
If it doesn't work out after a year or two
You could always trade one of them for a handfull of role players.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
Bird, Mchale, and Parrish disagrees with you
so would Magic, Worthy, Kareem
and Jordan, Pippen, Bill Willington
fiftytwo
you guys miscalculate the mental composition of those 3.
wade has like aids, bosh has future mf knees, and lbj squirms when kobe is around
fiftytwo
Hahaha why does Wade have AIDs?
I know he’s a poon hound.
I think once they learned to play with each other, Wade’s game would be marginalized but they’d STILL just be too damn good.
Lebron and Wade with no big wouldn’t be as good, I think, but those 3 together would be so tough. Lebron on his OWN is too tough usually. If Bosh and Wade can’t be his co-stars, then yeah, it won’t work. Because Lebron is the clear top dogg.
#52
in a typical season how many teams have more than a punchers chance at the title?
5? (In last years case I think that you would say Lakers, Spurs, Cavs, Magic, Celtics as the only real threats)
Putting them all on the same team would shrink that number down a bit, but it would also hopefully increase the amount of good basketball which is what the non-die hard fans are going for.
We're the only team it makes sense for him to join
If he wants to win titles. THE ONLY.
TEAM.
IF.
HE WANTS TO WIN.
TITLES.

They both would have been nuts to opt out.
Yao’s injury would have hurt him. I bet it was tough for he and his agent to debate opting out while injured, vs having a good comeback but being a FA with the new CBA.

Houston's support of his injuries definitely must have weighed on his mind.
If Tyson had considered opting out, I suspect his agent would have tackled him and duct taped his mouth shut until the deadline passed.

It’s not short, it’s comprehensive. Covers the antenna issues as well. Very fair, but will take a while to read.
Also, Microsoft has already killed off the awful, terrible, horrible new cell phone, the Kin. Hopefully the commercials go away now.

Roadside vendor?
We have tons of those in the Bay Area. Folks from the nearby farms drive into town, set up shop on busy streetcorners, and sell amazing quality strawberries at rock-bottom prices (thanks to the removal of the middleman).
yeah, way better than any super market
The guy was selling whole flats for ten. That half flat will fill up a gallon freezer bag easy. They taste so sweet it’s like they’re already jam.

winning is way more fun. besides, if they can show some promise, maybe Lee will even resign. hahaha
i actually really don’t like this sort of position, being sort of borderline especially when you have a guy like Lee who you could get good prospects for. it’s tough to know how to feel about the games. it’d be better if they were just flat out awful and never showed promise for this season. but now their luck seems to have turned a little and they’re doing pretty well.

So who cares. It’s not like the race for Strasburg all over again. I’d rather the kids get some wins rather than everyone on the team hating themselves and life going into next season.
Reviews are in for The Last Airbender.
It’s getting better reviews than I expected:
Even in 3D, [it’s] one-dimensional.
The most well-rounded failure of the year so far.
The acting is laughable, the effects are phony, the editing is addled and the dialogue is disastrous.
…gives us all a ringside seat at the sight of Mr. "I See Dead People’s" career gurgling down the drain.
Yep, much better than I expected. (Rotten Tomatoes)

It was an "almost" movie
It had good moments, and I always felt M. Night makes nice looking movies so it was nice to look at… but c’mon, why the cop out weak butt ending of “water kills ’em”?
Ripping off War of the Worlds and just doing a “’da germs got ’em” thingy would be better, and that sucks too.
I remember Ebert gave it 4 stars, I was eager to watch it, really enjoyed myself and how it was gone, and then I went GAAAAWWWWDDDD lame.
The Village, kinda the same… nicely made, he puts scenes together well and can do tension good, I liked Ron Howard’s daughter’s character, but it felt like such a cop out and obvious “twist”. Like, too obvious.
And using CGI for the beasts in some scenes and then revealing it’s just a suit is such a cheat.
#52
never saw the village
The Sixth Sense was his swan song. I saw Unbreakable in the theater and was really disappointed. I agree about his framing of a story, and he is clever, but sometimes he tries too hard to be clever. When that happens it is really a bear to watch because you get caught thinking about him trying too hard to make it clever. He loses the viewer at this point and I’ve seen more of that than him getting it right.

He used to be a GREAT writer
He’d get hired to script doctor on a lot of stuff and he was very acclaimed for his writing.
I think what happened was, he got lazy. Since he was a gifted screenwriter who then wrote/directed a huge hit film, he stopped listening to others and started thinking the first draft (well, not the first, but an early draft) was good enough because he is good. And he IS/WAS good but he still needs to work out his ideas better.
Like the famous story with the 6th Sense, where he says he didn’t realize Bruce Willis’ character was dead until, like, the 8th draft. It took him that long to crack it and figure out how the story should really go.
I think with Signs or The Village or Unbreakable, he isn’t pushing to get to that draft that cracks it. He is settling for the early version of the story that isn’t as good, because he can.
I think it comes from him being very full of himself.
I would defend Unbreakable, since I did like it, but I really don’t like how it ends. WHAT happens is fine, but HOW it happens (and with just a lame title at the end) is just so damagingly anticlimactic.

how much uncredited script doctoring goes on?

Yup!
The best writers make prolly MOST of their working money from script doctoring. Uncredited work. Go in, work a few weeks, try to fix the project.
#52
wow. is it just like a “give notes” thing or do they actually rewrite portions of the script as original that get used?
i see the Coen’s and QT in a remarkable new light. hahaha

I am sure they give stuff to friends and ask for advice
But that’s normal and not necessarily script doctoring.
Stuff like the Coens and QT, while not “all” by them, is still mainly just by them.
Most productions and movies ain’t like that, though, and studios or producers often bring in new writers to work on a script and try to make it better… funnier, shorter, whatever.
They hire somewhat prominent writers for a few weeks, sometimes less, sometime more… depends.
ANY big summer release has had several script doctors working on it, for better or worse. Guys like John August, Josh Friedman, Robert Towne, the Princess Bride guy whose name escapes me… they all make lots script doctoring.
One famous story of quick script doctoring is when the producers of BACK TO SCHOOL brought in some guy (I forget who, I think it was someone good) for help on the script and his only contribution was “why not make Rodney rich?”. That changed the whole movie.
#52
hmm. interesting.
the Princess Bride guy is William Goldman.
seems like they should get some credit though.

by DrivetheLane on Jun 30, 2010 8:26 PM PDT up reply actions
They do
In the form of paid-for houses and stuff.
See, there’s a whole process and rigamarole for who gets “credit” on movies. They get lots of money to work as script doctors because they won’t be getting those royalties that writer’s get for being credited on a movie… plus to get credited, you have to prove the work you did and etc etc and blah blah.
It’s why people fight for credits or make it go to arbitration so that they get credit for their work, both to show that they worked on the movie AND to get the moneys.
Producers and studios know how bad it looks when there are like 5 guys credited for writing on a film, so they like to avoid that. But, it happens.
There are so many rules and procedures and this and that and whatever for screen credits for writers, I wouldn’t know even a 10th of it all.
#52
Now I'll be getting some facts wrong but this is the basics
You know the first X-Men movie? It had something like 20 total writers working on it over the years.
I think only one guy was credited, with another getting a “story by” credit… I forget.
Well, after it all went to arbitration with people arguing for why they should get credit, the dude who got credit was the dude who kinda pieced together everyone else’s script to make this one final script.
#52
this sounds horrible.
as much as i like the movies, the other side of it sort of sickens me.
i’m gonna film my own movie with my flip cam and avoid all this red tape. hahaha

It's not always so bad
Sometimes it can ruin stuff (or maybe a LOT of the time), but having a fresh pair of eyes look and work on something that just isn’t clicking isn’t a bad thing often.
I don’t think it’d be much better if movies had 1 guy work as the writer on something the whole time, either. I’d think we’d still have some very good movies and others would be mediocre to bad.
#52
yeah giving notes and stuff i understand.

It's too big for me to look past
They are naked aliens who die when they touch water walking around with no protective layers on, on a planet where water is literally not only in everything, but surrounding you completely in the air.
For a movie presenting a REALITY of aliens invading, trying to make it believable, it is unforgivable.

By 9:01 p.m., the chase would be on. Born, Portland coach Nate McMillan and Chad Buchanan, Blazers director of college scouting, were set to make a series of long-planned phone calls, as the trio attempted to make connections with and gauge the interest of free agents who could soon wear black and red.
"We’re going to call for as long as it takes to talk to the guys we have an interest in," Born said Wednesday afternoon.
sort of
by seriously is anything going to change if a team waits until normal business hours to contact a FA?
BTS quotes the Blazers, who basically say yes.
Agents and players consider it a sign of respect when they’re called quickly after the deadline.
Interestingly, they specifically note that players and agents note the time that teams call after the deadline

No vuvuzelas allowed at UFC card

Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — If fans are thinking about bringing the spirit of the World Cup to the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the form of a vuvuzela, forget about it.
UFC president Dana White says Wednesday that vuvuzelas — the beehive-sounding noisemakers that have become famous during soccer’s biggest event — are being banned at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.
That’s when heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will fight interim belt holder Shane Carwin.
“This decision was pretty simple,” White said. "Vuvuzelas make the most horrific sound I’ve ever heard. I’d rather let Brock punch me in the face than hear 15,000 people blow on those things.
“This is the biggest heavyweight fight we’ve ever done. We’ll make enough noise this weekend when Brock and Shane finally step inside the Octagon.”

Or Baron wants to leave LA and enjoy playing basketball again.
I can’t imagine he’ll get $42 total on his next contract…
I'll pay him 42 bucks to play basketball
But after he’s done he has to leave.

my only guess is they want even a small chance to play with some of the other great free agents. Baron probably despises playing for the Clips anyway. maybe he’s finally reached the point where he wants to have fun instead of just make money.

I think he is a huge anchor for that franchise right now
Except for, like, the owner and stigma of being the Clippers.
He’s fat, takes horrible shots, and simply doesn’t care AND is the hometown kid who is the best player on the team. If he was more like “Good Baron”, he could make that team a fun and good one. He just don’t have that in him nowadays though :-(
It’s a bummer because Good Baron is a really good PG. Looks like the opt out thing is a lie, but it’d be dumb of him since he went to LA to go home and be a movie producer… the money he is signed for is huge.
#52
yep. I always hoped Good Baron would come back
kinda like all those other good/bad players.
At least Sheed brought it hard.
Iverson? Flawed design.
So many more.
Baron just gave up on being good, i think.

Hey, speaking of Aussies
I know Americans have the rep of being loud and obnoxious abroad, but MY theory is that people mistakenly think Aussies are Americans.
Because 99% of all Americans I meet abroad are so concerned about seeming loud and obnoxious, that they are overly sensitive to the native culture.
But Australians, man, they don’t give a damn. They yell and drink and are everything Americans are ’sposed to be.
I think the various natives in Europe just hear that they are speaking English and assume they are Yanks. Australians are more American than we ever are when traveling.
#52
Oh yeah
Aussies are one-of-a-kind in terms of being loud and loutish. There are a couple of Americans in at my department at Uni and they are the opposite of the ‘American tourist’ stereotype.
I've traveled quite a bit for an American
I’ve met 2 dudes who are the “stereotypical American” and they were only over for a week to go to the Running of the Bulls and then Ibiza.
I seriously, no joke, think Americans get the blame for what crazy Brits and Aussies do… both who are much more commonly in Europe and up to drunken shenanigans.
#52
Brits have a reputation all their own though
Particularly in continental Europe. Aussies I’ll give you, you guys really should start hating on them like Blazers fans on the *akers.
I think the regular Euro
Can’t tell the difference between an American or an Aussie or a Brit, because it really isn’t that easy. To the untrained ear, all are speaking English.
I’ve gotten confused for all 3 and more, and I think I am pretty clearly Amurrican.

Its the opposite here from what I hear, younger people calling everything thongs and older folks calling them jandals. Weird how that works.
ha, that is interesting.
over here, for the sandal that we in America refer to as “flip flops”, older people refer to as “thongs” because that’s what they used to be. but with the invention and subsequent popularity of “thong underwear” it has caused confusion amongst the generational gap.
"Bof teemz play hahd"

My generation goes with Jandals more often than not but the under 21’s have got stuck with Thongs, which I believe originated in Australia.

This post is designated to continue laughing at PRS and TrueHoop for one of the funniest mistakes in Blazer reporting history
Since JQ announced Iavaroni’s arrival.
I feel sorry for the guy now
Portland media seems a pretty small, introverted bunch – don’t think he’ll hear the end of this for quite a while.
It'll be hard to imagine PRS will still be considered a credible site.
Even though, in reality, they’ll be doubly-cautious from now on.
Absolutely
The fact that Truehoop don’t put everything from Twitter onto their site probably prevented this being a total embarrassment on a national scale but still, not what you want on your record as a young reporter.
Would have probably made Abbott’s daily bullets piece so its lucky it didn’t end up worse I suppose.

Since they can’t sell immediately to an owner that owns an offshore oil company/supplier, why not sell the figurehead Chris Paul in the meantime to cut costs? Apparently the Warriors also think more along those dimensions.

Yao has the giganticest feet in the universe. Really easy to work out the anatomy and get instruments in.

Kahn would probably give anyone 13 mil. Which reminds me, I need to give him a call
I'm going to call him first and undercut you
I’ll sign for 12 million. And I’ll do it as a 1 year contract, so as to be more valuable, as an expiring, when the trade deadline rolls around.

I bet someone will say
“Well he played with Taargus Blaargus, the best rebounder in the Soviet Bloc” like what we say to defend LMA… even though he rebounds the same no matter who he be with.

Daryl Morey
Just finished meeting with @chrisbosh – great player & person. He is about winning so I focused on how w/Houston he can win a championship.
Bosh would be an incredible fit with that team.
Brooks, Martin, Ariza, Bosh, Yao…Battier off the bench… That’s a contender right there, folks, and someone who made the playoffs out West last year won’t make it next year.
A sign-and-trade deal based around Trevor Ariza, Jared Jeffries' contract, and Jordan Hill.
Ariza can play the 3 on offense and guard opposing 2s, while Hedo Turkoglu does the opposite.
I'd guess Trevor Ariza, Jared Jeffries, and Jordan Hill, as well as maybe that ...
future conditional first-round pick — which is top-five protected from 2012 through 2015, while becoming a 2015 second-round pick and a 2016 second-round pick if not conveyed by then — that’s owed to the Houston Rockets from the New York Knicks.
Part of me would like for that to happen. I like the Rockets.
Wouldn’t be good for the Blazers though.
Bosh seems pretty perfect for the Rockettes
I gotta hope Toronto doesn’t even think that package is worth bothering with, cause it ain’t.

Playoffs in Portland tend to get pretty full
They were for the Portland Rage, Portland Pride, good years of the Portland Winter Hawks, and for all I know, maybe even their women’s team did well in the playoffs.
Portland has some pretty good fans, even if in some sports, they only show up for the playoffs.
If it was the indoor soccer league, it was the Pride.
That was an exciting sport, I’m a little disappointed it didn’t catch on.
When I was younger, I was on two or three different teams at a time.
And my mom played on a couple teams as well.
I miss those days. I should join a league.
Team KP
Part of me wishes I’d focused on soccer when I was young and played for a club team. Instead I played baseball, basketball, soccer but none of them at a real high level. I think I could maybe have played varsity soccer if I’d focused early.
Then again, I might not have had as much fun as I did just playing in rec leagues and it wasn’t like I would have been playing in college or anything. HS coed rec soccer was a blast.
I regret that I stopped playing soccer for football
I was kinda pressured to play football because I was fast and big.
My asthma got in the way a LOT in soccer, because unlike other sports, it is constant running. BUT, I think I woulda’ been a really good goalkeeper. So, I do wish I stuck with soccer and kept a goal.
#52
The reason I quit soccer was because I was starting to HATE it.
I played premier for three years, and I hated my coach, my teammates, it was too political, and on top of that we weren’t a very good team because of all that. All the clubs were really political and that got really old.
Then I played Select for a year after that. It was much better because we didn’t travel/play as much and I liked my coach and loved my teammates and we were good.
After playing non stop outdoor and indoor for soooo long, I just got burned out. My parents weren’t too happy when I quit though, because it was a year before high school and the coach knew me and wanted me to play for him. Oh well…

Politics in kids sports makes me mad
I got a story that still burns my britches, but I’m sure I’ve told it before. It involves my 2nd year of playing baseball and being selected for the allstar team but two of my own coaches talked bad about me so their sons would get a selection instead. One got my selection, the other just got a jacket.
OOOOOH. My pants are burning now.
Another coach on the team called me and told me what the other 2 coaches did at the Allstar meetings. I was very upset. It was quite important to me back then as I had no friends and that was the ticket to frienddom (in my kid-head). AND I was good dangit.
Oh, and the next season, when I was 13— I made the allstar team fair and square because the guy selecting it was impartial, and one of the coach’s who talked bad about me to make his own son make the team was mad because now his fat kid couldn’t make the team, and he would actually come to our practices and just sit there in his car and stare at us. It was creepy.
#52
Yikes, that is awful.
I have a lot of similar stories about my Premier coach.
He thought his daughter was amazing when in reality, she wasn’t even close to being the best player on the team. She would play entire games when there were other players better than her sitting on the bench.
One day after practice he came to me and told me I was being too mean to my teammates. It was really dumb, because I was a captain so I was SUPPOSED to tell my teammates what to do. And I know for a fact it was his dumb daughter that complained, because I yelled at her the most. Why? BECAUSE SHE WAS SUCKED.
He also forced me to play goalie the majority of the season before I decided to quit because I was sick of that kind of crap. I didn’t like goalie, it wasn’t my original position, and there were two other people on the team that TRIED OUT AS GOALIES to be on the team. He basically said I had to play goalie because it was best for the team, and otherwise I wouldn’t play.
OOOH my pants are burning now too, Mortimer!!!
Team KP
I decided long time ago
That I will likely have to end up coaching my kids’s teams to keep the parents in line. I won’t allow stupidness.
My dad coached our basketball team in middle school, and he didn’t have a great basketball mind or anything (he liked the Blazers but wasn’t a huge fan and while he played in HS, it was for a town with 300 people)… but they needed a coach and he knew how dumb parents were with their kids. He did a good job.
He also was “dumb” and followed the rules, where each kid had to play at least a quarter. Other coaches didn’t follow that to be jerks.
I bet there will be some dad somewhere in whatever league my kids will be playing in that was better at baseball than me, but I wasn’t bad, and I can teach a kid to hit AND I won’t allow peehole parents to pull stupid crap. As much as I can prevent, of course.
#52
My dad coached my teams for years.
From like my second year ever playing when I was 5 years old, up until I went premier which was U-11 I think. He always made sure everyone got adequate playing time as well. I do remember a parent yelling at him one time for taking their daughter out at the end of a game (she was not good at all and we wanted to win. She had played plenty though so it wasn’t a HUGE deal)
He was assistant coach for a year or two on the premier team, and then manager.
My mom was also an assistant when I was really young and almost got tossed from a couple games for yelling. SMH. When I was like 12 she was filling in as coach for my indoor team and totally yelled at the opposing coach because he was a total d bag. Everyone hated him so it was awesome.
Team KP
Yeah, while I think everyone should get to play
I am not in favor of going OVERBOARD and making sure everyone gets equal time and stuff like that, or other things to “avoid kids getting their feelings hurt”. I’d just be fair, and try to win without sacrificing the point of it all (kids having fun).
I think having kids learn to deal with no being good at something is an important part of growing up.
#52
Word.
I just really dread the political part of sports if my kids decide to play them. I’ll totally coach them when they are little but they better be good!
Team KP
I am going to make sure my kids have no choice but to be good. GENETICALLY speaking of course.
But I will likely need to alpha some of the other dads a little bit, because if their kid sucks and they are a jerk dad, or a rich dad, or both, then there will be trouble unless you alpha them somehow.
If my kids do suck, I’ll be fair about it and not overplay them.
In my experience, most of those dads who whine and are jerks are just little weasels who need to be told that that sort of crap won’t work. And then I’d have to be sure I remain consistent and not be an easy target for the most meddlesome of parents who would want some sort of revenge for their kid being bad at a sport.
#52
You have this much more planned out than I do.
I fear I’m not fit for the rec league soccer coach of 6 year olds :-(

I admit, I’ve thought about it since I was going through these coaching problems.
It’s important to me that my kids, and the other kids associated with their teams, have a good time playing the damn games. And I’ll do my best not to let parents screw it up, or it’s post-game knuckle suppers.
#52
Yeah, that side of sports
is what I remember most about them as a kid.
That and the fact that I was sooo competitive, I would always get so frustrated with my teammates, even at zaching 6 years old.
That’s one reason I dunno if I am suited to coach little kids. I would expect too much from them.

If they don’t like it though, that’s fine.
They gotta exercise somehow, though.
#52
Hahaha, yep.
I really won’t have a problem if they don’t want to play sports. They can whatever they want, just like I was allowed to do.
I will vow to never be a parent that forces my kid to play a sport they don’t want to play. That’s when kids resent you.

Phil Mickelson: "A Great shot is when you pull it off.....a smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it"’
I would be an amazing little league baseball coach. I would have to restrain myself from doing too many double switches and overshifts.
Hahaha
That’d be awesome.
I remember one coach made his pitchers all throw side arm, and some only curveballs, since 11/12 year olds couldn’t hit it.
That was a gimmick though, you’d be doing real stuff.
I can’t really remember stuff like that, but I think I can teach fundamentals of hitting real good. I was always a nice athlete when I started baseball (and I started late, my first year was 6th grade), and sucked at hitting so I had to learn HOW to hit.
#52
I would be good at teaching fielding and strategy, but I wouldn’t be the best at teaching hitting or pitching. I would have to learn how to teach that.

Whenever I think back on my youth soccer career,
it really makes me wish it wasn’t tainted by this kind of stuff.
I have no positive memories from the three years I played for that Premier team, besides hanging out with some of my teammates off the field.
Team KP
I got over it a while ago
But that sort of stuff, and hating my coach in HS also, is why I didn’t take my baseball scholarship and decided to study what I wanted to study.
It was for the best, but it was a big decision back then. Plus, we were still poor then, so the scholarship was tough to turn down. I went to the cheapest school in Oregon, though.
#52
And the scholarship wasn't to anywhere special
And since I don’t think I’d’ve been that good anywho, just “ok” (high school good but not college good), it was an easy decision.
#52
My friend Kirk should've made that decision, ...
although he chased his baseball dream instead of tagging along with my hard-working brother — who, to be fair, only played tennis in high school — by getting into communications at Wazzu. As it is, Kirk seemingly made the wrong choice. Heck, he currently works at a Toys Я Us in Michigan.
That's too bad
Yeah, it woulda’ taken me outta state to a pretty crappy state I had no interest in going to. Not a good school, not a special team, nuthin’ special at all besides I’d be playing baseball.

I just knew I didn’t wanna go to the same school as anyone from my HS, and I didn’t wanna play baseball no mo’.

At 18, it can be difficult to make the right ...
choice in their life. Even then, though, people need to have foresight. I can’t hate, however, since I didn’t have it then, either. Oh well, let us hope there’s time to rectify those errors.
There's almost always time
Even if I had made the wrong decision, I am sure I coulda’ rectified it.
There may be something else going on that causes him to be working at Toys R Us after college.

I think I quit at the right at time as well.
I sorta regret not playing in HS just because a lot of my friends did. I had private lessons with the guy that ended up coaching the JV team, so I know I would have really enjoyed playing for him if that’s the team I would have made.
My select team had a couple camps with the Varsity coach and I had practiced with the high school team one time in 7th grade, but if I remember correctly, it wasn’t very great to play for him on the actual HS team.
But not playing allowed me to try different sports. Like golf!
Team KP
Yep.
And I never would have played it if my parents didn’t make me feel bad for not playing soccer or volleyball in HS.
Team KP
Oooh I wish we had boys volleyball
I woulda’ been AWESOME at it. I could jump super high on two feet standing still and I always was rad at it when playing for fun.
But I don’t think it existed in Portland then, for boyses.

You should have just created a league on your own!
I didn’t want to play since I probably would have been a setter since I’m not tall. But I wanted to SPIKE the ball.
Me and my friend had randomly decided to try out in middle school. I ended up being pretty good and made the A TEAM both years. Yay me!

During the offseason, the premier/select teams would play indoor
and I liked that sooo much more than outdoor. It’s a lot more fun because it’s so much faster paced.
I used to LIVE at the soccer arena.
Team KP
Yeah, I only got to play indoor once or twice
but my dad played a lot and I used to love going to his games and running around the outside of the field. I still have photographic memories of that place. and I remember the ball slamming really hard against the border of the field. Man, brings back memories.

by Mortimer on May 3, 2010 4:39 PM PDT
it's just speculation
here it is:
The plan: While the window isn’t closing, the Blazers realize that teams younger than they (i.e., Oklahoma City) are coming on strong, so they want to be aggressive in bettering their roster. They are high on rookie small forward Luke Babbitt, whose outside shooting ability should help the Blazers space the floor. As for the backcourt, they could wind up with a backup or use the expiring contracts of Andre Miller and Joel Przybilla to trade for a starting point guard.
Alternative advice: With Marcus Camby aboard, Przybilla has become expendable, especially if Oden can ever get back on the floor. So let’s package the contracts of Przybilla and Miller and make a run at Chris Paul. Miller would help second-year PG Darren Collison develop in New Orleans and Przybilla would be nice playing behind Emeka Okafor. Better yet, they’ll give the Hornets financial relief after next season.
If that doesn’t work, how about sending the duo to Boston for Paul Pierce? If Doc Rivers doesn’t return as head coach and Ray Allen goes elsewhere, the Celtics might have to begin rebuilding. The future cap relief of the Portland duo might be attractive to Boston, which is also looking for a big man like Przybilla with Kendrick Perkins on the mend.

he’s taking the MLE because he loves this city and really wants to win a championship and figured this is the place to do it. He’s filling the roster spot opened up by Ryan Gomes.

It’s been an exciting first couple of hrs. Got some interesting visits and presentations from Houston, Toronto, Chicago and Miami. We’ll see who else will come out tomorrow.
Lowry and Scola got the QO from the Rockets.
Grizzlies also say they’ll match all offers for Rudy Gay.
This is all from NBA.com’s fantasy player news page.
Can we have a daily shower clause?
If he doesn’t shower at least once a day the contract is void.
Team KP
yes please
or, better yet, can his initiation into the team be a prank where somebody shaves his head ,cause that hair is not working for him.

“The Atlanta Hawks officially extended a six-year, approximately $120 million offer to retain free agent Joe Johnson at 12:01 a.m. Thursday,” (Berger)
It’s no joke.
But its oh so funny
Did you see the rationale the owners used? We aren’t gonna be around to pay him in 6 years so who cares!! Love the logic
He's gonna be getting about 25 million when he's 34
Who’s gonna buy a franchise with that hanging around its neck?
dude is going to be making max money as a 35 year old. He is going to be so ungood at age 35, its going to be ridiculous.
considering their initial offer
was 60/4 this is horrible, and shows ineptitude in their negotiation skills.
in KP i trusted
They can't really, can only give him 5 years right?
JJ might still go, sounded like he wasn’t love the ATL much at the end of last year
For Blazer purposes, where do you hope the big FA's land in order that they do the least amount of damage to our championship chances?
For me:
- LeBron to NYK
- Wade to MIA
- Bosh to Bulls
- JJ to ATL
- Amare to NJN
- Boozer to MIA
- Lee to NYK
Assuming Dirk and PP go back to Dallas and Boston respectively
lebron is staying in cleveland. just in.

my only wish
is for LBJ to stay in CLE. he means way too much to the city to just up and leave. without him, too many people will be out of work, and that’s the last thing that city needs.
in KP i trusted
I'm not doing very well expressing myself tonight
I mean’t the Cavs with Lebron would be better than the Knicks with Lebron next year. Cav’s have already meshed and are good for 60-65 wins and an ECF run at least. The Knicks would get about 50-55 wins and go nowhere with just LBJ.
I would feel bad for Cleveland if he left though, would be devastating.

Please please please please.
Another concern is that I feel this deal may ultimately cost them Al Horford, and I get the distinct feeling that the Hawks don’t realize what they have in Al. The guy is top 10 in the NBA in win shares and win shares per 48. He’s already among the best centers in the game, and he’s right outside the top 20 relative to PER. All that, and he’s only 23-24 years old. If it were me, Joe would walk and Al would get the extension.

If we could get Al instead of LA we would definitely be contenders
Two post presences on both ends and Al can still hit the mid range jumper
I love Horford
I’D EVEN GO AS FAR TO SAY that if Oden is NEVER healthy, the “right” pick becomes Horford, not Durant.
Both because we have Roy, but moreso because rebounding, interior defense and scoring are more important than scoring, even efficiently, from the perimeter with no playmaking.

I love Horford as a PF more than a C
But I agree, if Oden doesn’t get healthy (which he will positive thoughts) Horford would have made more sense than Durant. If Brandon doesn’t bounce back and look like a championship calibre first option then the Durant thing will become more painful ’cos everyone will look at 30+ points and say – they should have taken that guy and made Roy the number two. Totally flawed argument but it will become popular.
Therefore I hope for a healthy, productive Roy and a healthy, dominant Oden and an LA for Horford trade.
Ugh
Just found out that if you search for ‘Blazers big three’ on Google it autocorrects to ‘Lakers big three’.
That is just wrong.
it's been real, pals
i didn’t realize just how late it got. peace be with you my brothers(and sisters).

No one is up, and I assume this JD will be replaced but
5 years/32 millions for Drew Gooden?? Think the Bucks just made their first misstep in a year and a half.
That´s what happens when you think you have to go into winning mode but you actually don´t have the pieces.
Forbidden to forbid!
