This is at the bottom of today's Joe Freeman entry on the Behind the Blazers beat blog: http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/03/blazers_practice_report_shooti.html I wonder what Quick's "revelation" will be? Something tells me I won't like it.
Jason Quick will find that he feels Greg Oden's posture while taking a piss is very, very underwhelming.
Canzano teased it on his Twitter feed, too: "Big Oden news hitting The Oregonian in Mondays edition. Sorry, that's all I can offer." Link.
Seriously? Since when did OLive.com become KPTV? Quit teasing, damnit. You're supposed to be professional.
So who's the one who came up with the conspiracy that the Blazers wouldn't announce surgery until season ticket renewals were done or w/e?
Could we drug whoever gets the #1 pick and trade Oden+others for Blake Griffin? Or is this too blatant of a pipe dream?
yeah, media doesn't usually tease a story. If something breaks, they break it. It's dangerous to sit on a story for even 24 hours.
And then the next year we can dump on that player, and trade for the #1 pick. And the year after that, we can do it again. And then the next year, do it again. And the year after that? Trade Brandon Roy, because he hasn't lead us to the finals yet.
Quick said during his late post-game tidbits article posted a few minutes ago that he was on assignment for something else at last night's game. My guess is that Greg isn't going to play but that Quick was talking to Oden and people about the frustration in the recovery process, etc.
From Freeman's description, it has nothing to do with either Oden playing or (Freeman thought more likely) not playing. It'll just be one of those Quick "expose's" (that apostrophe is playing an accent) which will be a weird mixture of fawning and back-stabbing. Quick doesn't do facts he does feelings.
I'd probably be anti-social too, if all I heard and read all day was constant whining and bitching from fair weather fans and hack ass "journalists."
There is really nothing wrong with being anti-social. Some people just don't like other people. Everyone always gets all pissy about people who are anti-social but where is the nitpicking of people who are overly social?
As long as it doesn't involve Eddie Curry and a Limo Driver . . . . I mean, at this point you almost expect the worst.
