Who is PapaG? It's not the first time I've been associated with whoever that is. I will say that he apparently also can call out red herrings and strawmen, though!
I don't start threads about ex-Blazers. But I don't mind that others do. I also don't feel doing so is "OT." I'm a fan of the Blazers and I have been since the franchise was born. I become "invested" I guess you could say in the team's success and by extension the players themselves. Unless it is a player I truly dislike, and there have been a couple, I hope they have successful careers when they leave. I will make a point to watch a game that I wouldn't otherwise watch if it features an ex-Blazer, like Sergio or Travis. And, unless they are playing against the Blazers, I will root for them. The bottom line to me is, once a Blazer, always a Blazer.
I think we can pretty much attribute it to a mental condition known as "Jermaine Oneal Syndrome". It first appeared about about a decade ago....
I don't know him personally. He used to post here a lot before he got a little paranoid, went off his meds, and was committed for unmentionably horrible sexual offenses against at least 9 different animal species. Oh yeah, he also had a cadre of attorneys on retainer just in case something went really wrong on the internets.
