Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever watched a Blazer draft before? Calm down, or if your just faking it for the attention, then say so, so I can move on to other threads.

I love the fake shock in the original post. Like, it suddenly struck him BEFORE the draft starts that Pritchard is not going to do anything...and he SNAPPED.

It's a good bit. A few laughs to get us relaxed before the draft.

 

Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ, some Portland fans have become spoilt little whiners. KP could do nothing for 5 straight years and still be good for that one 2006 draft. But he also got Batum and Rudy.

[Edit: if the original is intended to be a MIXUM parody, then the above is ALSO intended to be tongue-in-cheek. Honest.]

Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The team has done nothing but improve under KP's watch. From bringing in character guys that brought the fans back, increase in winning %, having cap flexibility in the free agent market, and possibly put the franchise in a position to make a profit for the first time in many years.

This franchise is a business intended to make a profit but we've been very fortunate to have an owner willing to spend money for the right players even if he loses money. Trading RLEC for a vet who isn't the right fit just to save the "salary dollars" for later trades at basically double the contract (with the dollar for dollar luxury tax match) doesn't make sense from a financial standpoint at all. And given that none of us are insiders we don't know which, if any, of the rumors were actually true, offered, or even discussed.

The team has done nothing but improve while KP has been the GM. He's never messed up the draft. He got a franchise player in Roy (and most people thought he reached his ceiling his senior year of college). Drafted LMA, GO, Rudy (got him for peanuts and you know the Suns are kicking themselves right not), Batum (had you ever heard of Nic before that?).

The draft hasn't started yet and we have many weeks of free agency to explore before the season starts. I think there are about 29 other teams that would trample over each other to hire him if he was available. How about we wait and see what happens before we decide he's "choked again".

 

Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spudsie, everything you say is true, but it's like arguing with the wall. A person who has decided on the answer and does not care about the question. You know, the kind who says they never read the book but know it's bad, never saw the movie but know it's porn, never read Darwin but know evolution is a crock. You will get a far more rational answer talking to your cat. (how are the kitties, BTW?)

Fact-challenged is the term I want, I think.

 

Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's so funny. I work with a lady who wouldn't allow her son to read the Harry Potter series because it was clearly evil (wizards and witches and giants, oh my!) and she forwarded an e-mail all over the company about this vast media conspiracy to take all good Christian TV shows off the air. She felt we all needed to sign a petition to save "Touched by an Angel".

My thoughts: Okay, #1... her kid is volunteering to read a book outside of school instead of sitting on his butt playing video games, watching TV, and smoking dope. I'm assuming (admittedly I could be wrong) that the chance of him turning into an evil wizard/witch/giant is about as likely as him turning into Jesus or God if he reads the bible. #2 if "Touched by an Angel" is getting enough advertising dollars to make a profit the network will ride it for every cent they can get.
