I think it has to do with how soccer mom's want so bad for their children to do well and worry so much about how their kid does... and said Blazer fans were similar with Oden.
he prob reads this board. he says it because many blazer fans protect oden like hes their own kid..... like soccer moms do.
It's Oden related. Most people on this board seem to be Roy's step-mom, though. He needs to give it another read and start hating on Roy. He'd have a whole bunch of new fans!
Simmons, if you read this, author a column hating on Roy and saying he is overrated and selfish. You'll have a whole new batch of "fans" in InternetLand!
I am currently reading his latest book on the NBA and it is good. Can't stand his columns, but he is a good writer.
Because he's really Richard Simmons and overweight soccer moms are his biggest (make that ONLY) fans. BNM
Bingo. Basically his take is that we're so passionate about our team and he gets so much e-mail about it, that he's determined that most Blazers fans think everybody on the roster is either A) a future all-star, or B) an all-star snub. It's hyperbole, but after seeing some of the stuff people have written on message boards over the years I can sort of see where he's coming from.
He's no different than Canzano or the average internet forum troll. He recognizes an area he can attack to draw attention, and he does it. He knows that Portland fans are passionate, so he usually throws a jab or two into his columns about us just to keep people angry and emailing.
Yeah, although for every "Armon is a future all-star thread", there is a "Brandon is a worthless has-been thread" and a "How can we trade for (random so-so player from another team)" thread. barfo
