Not surprised. I think Joel is probably done as a player, but honestly I'd love to see him come back in some capacity with the organization. I don't really see him in broadcasting because he's not really the outgoing type, though I really enjoyed interviewing him because of his honesty. He just isn't very engaging haha.
Right. As for any other team, I think it's about 40% that he'll ever play again. A little under 50-50.
He had said if he was traded he was going to retire. He has a place in Milwaukee and up North in the woods. Loves the outdoors. He would never do any broadcast or anything like that. I would love to bring him back!
I saw Joel and his son at Costco more than once. One time, they were returning something ahead of my girls and me in line. Somebody who takes the time to return something small to Costco, and stand in line with the rest of us, strikes me as someone who isn't going to waste all of his money. I wish him the best in his retirement. A great guy to talk to the few times we conversed. We had a Monticello, MN, connection, which was kind of cool.
Costco is great for restaurant supplies. You can get giant bottles of relish, hundreds of frozen hamburger patties, and thousands of colorful toothpicks with festive tassels.
I was returning the napkins. They had a crease in them. My Burger Hut won't stand for less-than-marginal product!
We're merging with the Burger Hut down the street from whatever street I'm on now. It's a tough economy, so I had to diversify. Apparently, people these days actually want to get some protein in their diet that doesn't taste like cardboard, or cost $8 for a soy wrap.
Back on Topic, IMO, If were a contender in his eyes, He'll come back. He's a warrior. Impossible to know what the chances are we get those final pieces to finally challenge the West, But I think there good.
With the lack of Centers in the league and a long lockout looming for extra rest and rehab I think it's 90/10 that we plays a few more seasons.
Had a great vegan dinner last night (big salad, whole wheat spaghetti with tomato mushroom ragout, braised green beans I deep froze from last year's garden) and a piece of dark chocolate. Back to the point, I can see Przy as a coach. But if he wants to spend the rest of his life living in the country with his family, hey, it's his life.
Na but I was thinking hot damn he really did feel sorry trashing Portland year after year and dashing our title aspirations!
