    17 pages on the topic, of which I'd bet 16 and 3/4th of them are mocking the idea.

    Word on the street is he is going to be out there during the anthem tonight! And if it means anything, I was sitting next to Quick and Freeman out during shoot around and they said they couldn't believe he wrote the piece.

    Now you're going to tell the man when he's allowed to pray? And I suppose if someone says you're wrong, you'll claim your freedom is being repressed. :biglaugh: Are you Glen Beck?

    Is it that he's from Fresno, or something else?

    I really can't imagine anything worse than that.

    If he is growing a mustache, starts eating stinky cheese and smoke Gitanes - he is defecting to France.

    Court Jesters, slaves of a sort, were the first comedians.

    Entertainers, professional athletes, actors...they once existed only for the amusement of the upper class.

    Now they exist to amuse the masses, and to financially profit the upper class. :pimp:

    So, Canzano has changed his tune from "unpatriotic" to "insensitive teammate."

    I almost called his show to ask him if he, in fact, had interviewed any of Brandon's teammates and got their takes/feelings on the matter prior to spewing his drivel to the Portland masses.

    Here's a question for ya, why the fuck do you play the National Anthem before every game no matter how small or bit it is?

    We know the teams are from America, for god sake.

    Who knows? It's just tradition. Before I had kids, I used to go to the race track just about every weekend. I still find it strange that not everyone ends the anthem with "Gentleman, start your engines".

    You watch, Canzano will now write a piece taking all the credit.

    I demand that Canzano goes out on the court before every radio show he records. No more tunneling!

    Someone should ask Canzano what he does during the anthem.

    So that pussy-whipping retreat didn't sink in too good, huh? :biglaugh:

    At least have the sense to put your advances in a PM for discretion. :sigh:
