    I thought it was a funny poke at the Blazers.

    Seriously? You guys didn't get the joke? It wasn't a shameless plug, he was taking a subtle shot at the Blazers for changing the Rose Garden.

    Isn't Detroit the "Moda" City? That's how they pronounce it in Boston, anyhow.

    Still holds. It's a joke that it's called the moda center.

    So, I am right. :)

    Great thing about "Moda" is that there is both an "O" and a "D" in the name, so whichever aspect of our team's game is performing poorly, Mediocre Man will be able to replace one of those letters with his trademark underscore.

    I thought it was pretty clever. I don't think he was taking a poke at the Blazers as much as a poke at the fans getting all upset about the name change. Almost all arenas now use sponsor names that at first sound stupid, so it would be idiotic to flip the Blazer's shit about it.

    Mediocre Man finally confesses he wants to "replace" gays.
    We're here, we're queer, get used to it.

    I don't think you did, but I really hope you saw that as a humorous post because of all your ridiculous outrage in the OT section
