    No one here has ever said the Oregonian has a good sports section. So who are you trying to "punk"?

    Quick is a beat writer, but it doesn't stop him from infusing his opinion in his pieces. Canzano follows the Blazers as much as the next guy at the Oregonian, but he doesn't get to travel with the team. He's been using the columnist thing as a scapegoat for his horrible opinions for years.

    What's amazing to me is that after getting some good news like this, some folks use it as an opportunity to bash our players.

    Shameful.

    The difference in the size of his legs isn't enough to have a noticeable limp. He hasn't had a noticeable limp throughout his career.

    Good question. I'm guessing they need at least one guy there, don't they?

    Point being that trading Canzano for Smith does nothing to improve the beat writers. for the Blazers. Quick or Freeman makes sense; not Canzano.

    The latter part is debatable.

    touche.

    But, I'd still rather have Smith over Canzano. Smith was too good of a beat writer to be considered at the O. Hell, Hendrickson was better than anything the O has. That paper is so weak its sad.

    I would rather have a half starved chimp randomly slap at the keyboard for articles then Canzano.

    The Bald Faced Fuck is the sports writing equivalent of an abulance chaser.

    He probably gets a hard on everytime he finds out about another Blazer fan with a terminal illness.

    Repped! If some Blazer fan doesn't die soon, he won't win that sportswriter's award again! He's reprehensible, exploiting that girl for readership like that.

    Not so, but I wouldn't expect that would get in the way of your predictions.
    I didn't see anywhere in there that said "I won't play until after Christmas". One would think that if he's going "full-speed" through drills Oct. 7, then it may just be what he said...there isn't a timeline. I take it as a positive that he's out there running full-speed, full-court and working on his low post offense.

    If the reporter would've asked "are you playing Oct. 31?", and Oden shrugged and said "there isn't a timeline", would you say he'd be back Nov. 1?

    I hope you aren't expecting him to respond to this.

    Wasn't that question asked after 7 minutes of him asking the same question which was "can you give us a time line". If it was me I would have gotten annoyed and done the same thing.

    Great news. Very very good to hear. I have to admit, I didn't think we'd ever seen Joel in a Blazers uniform again after that second knee injury. I'm glad to see that he's back and starting to work at full speed. This can only mean good things.

    I really wish we could topple the Oregonian. It's the biggest piece of filthy shitty trash on the west coast. It's shameful that it has a deathgrip on the print journalism market in Oregon.
