The Blazers answered this little questionare here... Cereal: Breakfast or anytime meal? What's your take on twitter? If you weren't playing basketball, you'd be ... Who would you pay to watch play? Who's the person you'd most like to meet (dead or alive)? http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindblazersbeat/2009/03/rip_city_culture.html Nate McMillen says they eat cereal all the time on the plane. I wonder what kind of crap cereal Jay Jensen is letting them eat. Probably Frosted Lucky Charms. You know, 75% of Black adults in America are lactose intolerant, so unless they are eating their cereal with coconut milk, maybe that's something Jay shouldn't let them eat. They tried the sleep thing to help their road record, maybe they should start looking at what they're eating on the road.
That's why you can have Lactaid milk, or soy milk. Lactaid milk is real milk, just with the lactose enzyme broken into two other's which makes the milk taste sweeter, and its great for cereal, b/c you'll use less sugar, if you put that on there. Or, the players may also use Digestive Advantage lactose therapy pills, (which I use) and it actually works, so you can have cheese, ice cream, milk, etc.
Some interesting replies. What is this cereal thing? I mean, I do eat it in the AM but it's not a big huge deal in my life. BTW, I never put milk on cereal and I'm not lactose intolerant. I just don't like cold oatmeal or soggy grains. I wonder if it was Greg Oden or the Oregonian who can't spell Candace Parker? She and Candice Wiggins used to explain that one was Ace and the other Ice. Does Greg want plastic surgery? My pet TV appearance would be Law & Order. As the killer, of course. Of some really nasty person.
A few of my favorites: Bayless: $: "I can't say. They're my opponents." Batum: TV: The Jerry Springer Show. $: "Scottie Pippen. He's my favorite player." Przybilla: Twitter: "Pffff. I didn't even know about it until the other day and I don't really care. I think it's kinda stupid." Bayless because it shows his attitude which I like. Batum because I find it funny and I think he's emulating the right guy. Joel because I totally agree.
My answers would be: TV: Arrested Development. Like lots of other shows but have to give my props to the GOAT. Cereal: Never. Yeah, I'm probably weird. Twitter: You won't find me on there. Not my style. No hoops: Eventually a CEO, or maybe a house flipper like on TV. In reality, a software consultant. $: LeBron, Roy, Tiger...and maybe those Whose Line Is It Anyways guys. Person: Hugh Hefner.
...seriously man, do you really think that a professional sports team's trainer knows less than you?!?!?!
My answers- Cereal: Breakfast or anytime meal?-Anytime! What's your take on twitter? Very Gay! If you weren't playing basketball, you'd be ... knee deep in some porn! Who would you pay to watch play?-LeBron Who's the person you'd most like to meet (dead or alive)? -B.A. Baracus
And a million hearts are breaking. I thought it was funny how nobody knew what twitter was, except Bayless. Some youth we've got.
Probably. Just this offseason, they put good food in the training room in an attempt to get players to stop getting fast food after practice. What the hell took him so long to think of that? Nutrition is one of the most important things for anyone, especially an athlete because of the high physical demands they are under. I wouldn't let them eat processed sugary crap like cereal. When you're healthy, you feel good, you have more energy, you play better you win more games.
Cereal: Breakfast or anytime meal? Never, cereal sucks. What's your take on twitter? Its good for keeping up with the changing world. Don't be a dinosaur. If you weren't playing basketball, you'd be ... Hustlin' crack rock. Who would you pay to watch play? LeBronze Who's the person you'd most like to meet (dead or alive)? Richard Branson or Mark Cuban
My replies: Cereal, whole grain, breakfast only Twitter, not gay enough for me, it's boring TV already answered What I'd be doing, well I'm a tech writer not a basketball player. Assuming the question refers to things I reasonably can do, I think my alternate self is a pastry chef. Big surprise Pay to see: I've seen the World Series, Western Conference Finals, Women's Final Four, Martina Navratilova, and the Beatles. Past events I wish I was at: The Shot Heard 'Round the World, Texas Western upsets Kentucky for national title, Don Larsen's perfect game, Super Bowl III, Battle of the Sexes, NBA Finals Game 6 1977. What I'd pay to see in future: Blazers winning NBA Championship Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet again the cutie I saw at the Out & Equal orientation. Fidel Castro. Ringo. I'd like to invite Tina Fey to Thanksgiving dinner, that would be a blast.
I guess I should take it too, since I started this tread: The Blazers answered this little questionare here... Cereal: Breakfast or anytime meal? Never. Cereal sucks, and so does milk. What's your take on twitter? I think it's stupid. If you weren't playing basketball, you'd be ... This question does not apply to me. Who would you pay to watch play? The Blazers of course! Who's the person you'd most like to meet (dead or alive)? Acharya S
You guys need to get your shit together regarding cereal. (Literally!) Trust me when you get to be about 50 you will know why fiber is so important. We are not talking about coco puffs here.
tv show - I'd love to do a voice on South Park cereal - perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner twitter - really really stupid, nobody's life is so important that I absolutely need to know what there doing at any given moment. pay to watch - Leo Messi. most like to meet - God, if he/she/it exists. If not, Albert Camus.
The team has a nutrition consultant. I'm not sure why trainer Jay Jensen would be responsible for catering the food on the team plane, but perhaps he's taken on that responsibility in the last month. http://www.americanwaymag.com/chili-cheese-coney-portland-trail-blazers-ruth-carey-basketball
Because she's a consultant, she doesn't travel around with them and she's not apart of the team. On courtside last year they had an episode talking about how Jay Jensen decided to put that food in their gym. It's all up to Jay Jay, but he may be ignorant in many areas since he was educated in Western medicine.
