    I mentioned a video (link) from Oregon Live after the win in Denver earlier this season, where Batum was interviewed, and you can see a buck naked Wright in the back ground showering.


    In light of the hefty fine Indiana Colts punter Pat McAfee received from the Colts for tweeting the below pic of a naked Andrew Luck in the back ground, I'm really kind of surprised the video with Wright hasn't at least been edited, if not taken down from O-Live.

    Maybe Wright is cool with it. I mean, he looks good, and his skin color makes his features less distinct than a pasty white Luck, but he's also in a white shower and stood out like a sore thumb.

    There is a slight difference between oregon lives audience of 12 who are interested in a blazers post game interview and the amount of people on twitter. Still Luck is not nude although pretty close to it and Wright is so that should be taken into consideration. Personally if you want the Oregonian held responsible send the link to bleacher report they will air it and it will become news.

    A good editor (or at the very least spell-check) is a must for the media, that is for sure.

    I would bet there is A-LOT more that goes on in those locker rooms that any of the fans even know.

    I'm willing to bet average blazers length is 7.5" especially since they don't have babbit holding them back anymore. Team's full of thigh slappers.

    Well the use to allow female reports in the locker rooms. It might help if Reporters could only go in a certain area of the locker rooms for more privacy.

    I think the issue is with media in the locker room, not so much incidental pictures/videos of nudity. It personally believe the media shouldn't be allowed in the locker room, at least not until all showering/changing is done, it just comes across as disrespectful to be harassing someone while they are trying to get cleaned up and dressed. But if they allow it, i guess it's the players' responsibility to make sure they aren't nude on camera, not really the media's fault if filming is allowed in there
