It seems that MB probably has some second hand info but of course can't say who gave it to him. I would hate to be Andy Miller trying to negotiate with Rudy in the future. http://mikebarrettsblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/ball-in-hedos-court.html
MB is the blazers little bitch! He is the biggest homer in sports! He is never going to say one negative thing about them. Rudy is pissed. This is a fact, go listen to his freakin interview. MB get a life
No argument from me, but we do have to remember that MB is a Blazer employee. I think people forget this sometimes.
I listened to it. In no way did Rudy come across as pissed. He sounded concerned about his role or playing time, but what I got out of his words is that his ego needs a little stroking by the Blazers FO. It was just one short year ago that Rudy was the guy being courted, wined and dined, etc... Now that he is a Blazer he may be missing that. I do agree that MB is a honk. But I have also spoken to him in person many times and is a great guy, genuine and likable. I do not think he is toeing some company line here. He has probably talked to Casey or Kaleb and is passing along the scoop because he reads these boards and he also reads the posts on his blog.
I love the term "little bitch." (Right up there with "fucktarded" in my Lexicon of Words That Make Me Laugh Inside But Really Shouldn't.) I wouldn't apply it to Barret though. The guy's just a working stiff making his living by being a parrot for Blazers management. He's more mouthpiece than little bitch.
Umm, he has a life, one that most Blazers nerds posting on this board would kill for - shill for the man or not. I am thinking it would be more likely that you would need the life transplant. If you don't - here's to it!
