    Between this, their handling of Morey after the Hong Kong/China comments, their style of play, and then the Astros bullshit, is there any city that's hated more for its sports than Houston?

    Also, sidebar, I'm almost certain the Biofreeze sponsorship and Dame being their lead endorser is nefarious.

    Not gonna throw stones from my glass house.

    At least biofreeze is a household brand that is a quality product.

    Ya, it's made by some random company in Ohio and only sold at a few retailers. Like a ghetto fab version on bengay or Icyhot.

    It’s better than Bengay. It’s scent isn’t as horrendous and you don’t need to taint your hands with rubbing it in that way lol it’s a superior product.

    Why? Pretty common for players to do individual deals with companies that have deals with the teams (not just jersey patch deals).

    I'm pretty sure it's actually against the NBA bylaws for owners to use side businesses or other businesses to "pay guys" on the side. I think what we're saying is it seems kind of fishy this company kind of came from nowhere all of a sudden their a Blazer sponsor and Dame's the face. It's against the rules for Jody or PA to use other businesses to their pay players.

    edit: I'm not saying that this is happening ~ I have no idea, but I can definitely see how it's like well I'm wondering where all the funding is coming from for "Biofreeze".

    I was using Biofreeze well before the Blazers sponsorship. It's a quality product. It's very common in medical offices like chiropractors. I figured they wanted to expand more into the public market.

    I'm not sure what Biofreeze has to do with what appears to be a huge money laundering scam though. The mystery to me is, if your companies are as phony as a 3 dollar bill, why all the promoting?
