Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

"Chemistry quiz: Who's the ticking time bomb? That's the question, and it's multiple choice, with several "A and B and C" type choices. Last year, Andre Miller and Nat McMillan blew up at one another during a low point. The two reconciled things and seem to be on better ground, but there's been consistent trade chatter involving Miller since he was signed as a marquee free agent in 2009. And that's just the start! Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake, two longtime Blazers were traded last year, along with Martell Webster before this year's draft. And, oh, yeah, Rudy Fernandez is involved in a messy, gross situation where he's demanding a trade and talking about sitting out the next season , even after rejecting a trade to New Orleans. This is all before we get into LaMarcus Aldridge's longterm problems with the club, and the attention showered on Greg Oden constantly. That said, McMillan has done a tremendous job keeping the team together and helped lead them to the playoffs last year. If he can keep them together this year, it'll be another award-worthy performance."

Huh? LaMarcus' long-term problems with the club? Attention "showered" on Greg Oden?

"LaMarcus Aldridge in particular has had low expectations which he's exceeded yet not received credit for the last few years"

Huh?

Just awful...full of typos and blanket statements....actually maybe you shouldn't click on this.

Shameful...Who wrote that?

Histerical typed laughter for the “injury watch”? A bad joke about us spending more time on our back than Luke Walton (who admitted having thoughts of not wanting to live through the period this joke is referring to)? Luke Babbit and Armon Johson (free agent) as subtractions?

This guy is really, really bad.

Oh, and...

Broy struggling with an ankle? I remember a Hammy and a knee? Pryz broke his Patella?

I say again. Very, very shameful.

Good for you

for signing up over there just to set them straight. I say more of us do it. That was just ridiculous.

This. Was. Crap.

And this ^ is better journalism.

If what I just commented turns out to be wrong, please delete from all memory.

Oh my god what a joke

What does he believe are Lamarcus’s longterm problems with the Blazers?

by BlazingTheTrail on Sep 21, 2010 12:51 PM PDT reply actions  

Probably that they signed him to a long term contract last summer

And it took more than a week to iron out the details. That’s a problem, isn’t it?

Wow. Just freaking wow.

I’ve never read so many typos, grammatical errors, and…mocking?
The ‘writer’ mocks the Blazers for an injury-plagued season?

If I were the CBS editors, I’d see if this (column/primer/whatever you’d like to call it)
was actually farmed out to some snarky 11 year old somewhere in the Midwest, typing on a Commodore 64 or something, instead of their actual writers.
Horrible.

This should get posted on the Blazer locker room chalkboard,

as motivation before each game this season. Watch us roll a 77 win season. =)

CBS sports is just bad in general

if you’ve ever listened to their college football announcers…. they have NO idea what’s going on. ever. for any team.
 
this, however, is exceptionally appalling.
