    Yeah, I've always thought that Freeman was pretty good, too, but this is really sloppy reporting. It's especially bad when you consider that Freeman is doing a story on Robinson's rep around the league, and the number of times he's been traded is a crucial part of the story.

    i would hope it was just an honest slip-up. as a matter of fact, i think it probably was. your'e right though, that is a crucial part of the story.

    Freeman just tweeted, Thanks for the advice, everybody. I think I'll write whatever number of Robinson's teams I like in the manner I prefer.

    He fixed the story.

    "But Robinson would not have been traded twice before his second season..."

    The other day I corrected a fact in one of Joe Freeman's articles on OregonLive. He said that Robinson was acquired in a three team trade with Houston and Sacramento. He obviously conflated the Lopez and Robinson trades. He's doesn't seem to be too tuned in to the team does he?

    It was a small mistake. At least he didn't call our new PF acquisition "Ho Lee Fook".

    Eric B!

    I feel like breaking out some Twin Hype now.

    anyways, back to your post. I'm not surprised they check out the board, but it's probably to get a feel for what the "obsessive Blazer fans" are bitching about
