    When the Blazers drafted him around 1991.

    When he was 13. He still looks 13. But you think he's old. Whenever I think of Minstrel I think, "That hairy-chested baritone just doesn't appreciate a new handsome Face of the Blazers when he sees one."

    Are you trying to elicit a gendered response from me? Is that what this otherwise baffling response is?

    Now that you're a moderator, you'll be getting many baffling remarks from me. Ask Sly and Denny what to do. (They don't know, but ask them.)

    And don't ask me what to do, either. It baffles me.

    No, but I think my first possibility was correct, thus making it non-baffling.

    It's entirely possible that Petteri prefers Finland to the US..over there he's a star, with the Blazers he'd be battling Allan Crabbe for minutes

    Dallas has his rights. He'll be battling Fatty Failton.

    Poor Finland. Up by around15 over Turkey at HT, Turkey battles back but Finland's up by 3 with Petteri at the line for one more, and about 20 seconds left. He misses the FT. They don't foul, Turkey hits a miracle 3 and wins in OT. And that's probably it for Finland in the WC.

    Finland MIGHT have a chance if they beat NZ and Ukraine loses their next game. Then they'll both have the same 2-3 record, and Finland beat Ukraine.

    In case ANYONE cares...

    According to this, the only way Finland moves on is if Ukraine beats the US. So I guess they really did blow it.

    Once you believe with all your heart that I am weird, you will find it easy to get along with me.

    I don't think you're weird at all relative to Portlanders in general.

    Petteri with a chance to tie it against NZ, but misses and claims he was fouled. NZ wins the battle of the minnows and all the Finn Fanns have to go home.
