    I meant to publish this one the day we heard Jody got approved, but I have been busy.

    That was great, Chris. Never knew you had it in you but now, I'm a fan of yours.
    By the way, a friend of mine once reported directly to Larry Ellison as the president of one of Ellison's high tech companies, Ncube. He told some of his friends that Larry was not ethical and so my friend quit that position. Apparently, my friend values ethics more than Larry. Thank God Ellison never bought the Blazers and thank God the Blazers never sold out to Larry Ellison.

    Thanks Lanny...I am glad Ellison never got his hands on the Blazers either. I have heard about his reputation.

    Screw that, I would love Ellison as an owner! The dude pushes limits, kinda like Trader Bob did when he had full control of PA's checkbook.

    Would you like him screwing the players out of hidden details in their contracts or screwing the fans out of even worse concessions and more expensive beers. Yeah, now he doesn't look so nice when you factor in the warmer and more expensive beer, now does he.

    Beer is too expensive now so I don't get it at games, they could triple the price and it wouldn't bother me.

    CBA would prevent contract problem.

    When you go to games with me, don't I usually buy you a beer? Okay, that price increase is going to put a damper on that.
