No. I thought this was the nail in the coffin for GO in Portland plus plummeting trade value. I was horrified. Glad ABM was fucking around.
I don't love the idea that Oden was possibly flushing his life down the toilet, I love the fact that ABM gave everybody a heart attack.
I'll give it to ABM . . . . got me on that one. Title is fair enogh in my book because it's true and is related to basketball (as much as other threads in this forum). I don't like the titles that are just made up or the ones that start with a phrase but you have no idea wht the thread is about. But this title, well played. And nik hit it on the head . . . this thread nailed readers because so many of us could see it as being true.
Greg has admitted in the past that he likes beer and was looking forward to being 21 so he could legally drink. Looks like his younger brother took things a bit too far, though.
Remember when Canzano wrote a big article bitterly criticizing Oden for allowing alcohol at his birthday party? Oden didn't drink but others did. We discovered Canzano's religious motives for hating the Blazers and mouthy black men in that one article.
I think something has been overlooked in this thread. In our rush to eviscerate ABM for inducing a panic attack that this might be our Oden, how shitty of a year has Greg (and his family) had? His younger brother getting clipped and putting his football future at risk (assuming the NFL is looking for guys that are 6'7" and weight 300 lbs.?) and Greg getting his wang picture plastered all over the internet and his knee exploding ... If you wanted to get all biblical about it, you'd almost guess that his great grand pappy raped a horse or something and they're cursed.
That's better than his knee picture plastered all over the internet and his wang exploding, though. Well, for him. Maybe the team would prefer it. barfo
