    Re: Breaking News!

    Alright Guys/Girls: bottom line is this is a great link, but when i see BREAKING NEWS, and open the thread and then see ROY SIGNS EXTENSION, you could see how this can be misconstrued

    Re: Breaking News!

    It's worth reporting if it's close to being done. Hell, just the fact he's in town at all to work on the extension is definitely worth reporting. Why are you so hellbent on discrediting the story?

    Re: Breaking News!

    it says Roy signing extension, which is what the link said (unless we spend another 10 pages debating completing and signing), not signed. And it is breaking news that Roy is down in Portland, and presumably finishing up his contract.

    Note this comment on the story:

    So, PapaG has him sighted in PDX on Saturday, but he's back in Seattle on Sunday. What could it mean? :devilwink:

    I'm shocked you'd have to ask. The answer is, of course, yes.

    Re: Breaking News!

    I don't have anyone in this thread on my ignore list. If you don't give a shit, why does it piss you off?

    It's strictly saying that anyone who repeatedly quotes trolls when they respond will be ignored. Should you care? I don't think so... I'm not very important. But I'm doing my part to help curb trolling.

    Re: Breaking News!

    I wonder how many threads it would take before EVERYONE was on his ignore list? It's kind of like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon -- I'm sure every one of us is quote-linked in some way to a troll...

    Re: Breaking News!


    Seems odd that the reporter wouldn't report him being at the game, and that Nate would say if Roy was here, as opposed to if Roy had played, implying he wasn't present at all.

    Re: Breaking News!

    If you read the comments at the end of the article you will find this...

    Was Roy there? Or not? The organizers say he was in Portland, as does Nate Robinson who is quoted in the article.

    Probably wasn't there and the commenter mistook someone else for him.

    Re: Breaking News!

    My sense from reading the article and then that comment was that he was in Portland on Saturday (the first day of the two day tournament) but made it back to Seattle by the Sunday evening Championship Game in time to watch it but not suit up.

    Re: Breaking News!

    That the coach of the Garfield team gave him DNP-CD? Or... that his car is able to traverse the 180 miles between Portland to Seattle in less than 12 hours?

    Re: Breaking News!

    Wouldn't the article have then mentioned him being in attendance, though? Seems if they were going to take the time to talk about him, they would have said he made it in time to watch, but not participate, or something.
