    Take off is the worst for me... loud as fuck... stuck there until you get up there. After that it's really good. I love the landing the most because then I can get the fuck off the plane.

    If I do ever have to take long plane trips I will get myself all good and liquored up enough to last the take off.

    Yup. I drink 4 or so beers even if its 3am. Then get an overpriced beer at the airport so i'm buzzed but can still handle myself. Takeoff is fine for me after that.

    Blazer Summer League Predictions:

    Blazers will lose game 1
    Boards will Freak Out
    • "New dudes suck!"
    • "Neil better not be done"
    • "Season is Over!"
    • MM becomes voice of reason: "Collins showed great footwork, did great job passing out of double teams."

    I always wanted to see a basketball player named Joe Blow.

    If Collins has a bad game everyone is going to call him Meyers 2.0, or Margarine (Butters' cousin).

    As long as he doesn't look up to Meyers as a role model... I am fine with that. Collins has more talent in his pinky than Meyers does in his whole body.

    Vegas to Portland and the reverse is an easy ass flight. The worst thing you'll get is bad winds on landing in Vegas. I'd drive home from work down Sunset parallel to the runway and it would be bitchin seeing the planes come in sideways.

    Just smuggle some heroin in your bum. You'll drift right in and out of your flight. You won't get busted by the TSA......... "trust" me.

    I've got to say aside from some obviously (or not to some people?) overrated players, the "stars" of this draft have lived up to the hype big time in these early weeks of summer league.

    Fox, Tatum, Fultz, Isaac, Mitchell, Josh Jackson, Adebayo, etc.... Have all looked like legit players so far, definitely making this look like a good draft to be a player in. Hopefully that continues tomorrow with Biggie and Collins.

    Even Dwayne Bacon looks like he can be a competent scorer in the league.

    In 4 years time, Bacon will be getting a max offer from the Nets. That's a lot of cheddar, but you know, he's gotta get his bread when he can. I just want a sandwich now.

    Some of them are on ESPN/ESPN2 and the ESPN network (ESPNU). The Blazer games are on comcast sports net.

    Like Shavlick Randolph. Man I fly 130,000K miles a year. My family and I would be homeless if I couldn't fly.

    What are you up to during the off-season FAMS? Working golf per usual?
