    Did you hear Roy's response about Rudy. Roy feels like it is on the team to make Rudy feel more comfortable here. In fact Roy was all over the map when it came to responding about Rudy . . . if nothing else, the media will be asking Blazers about the Rudy situation which is a distraction.

    This team isn't exactly the most mature and strong willed team. They are young and impressionable and don't need someone inmp who is basically begging to go home, IMO.

    Like I said earlier, if I was Rudy's teammate I'd give him a sleeper hold.

    Are you being serious? Is there NOBODY that he hangs out with? No wonder he's depressed!

    Quite frankly, they tried to hang with him, but he insists on kissing them on the cheek and with his questionable shaving technique - the other players complain that he is scratchy! ;)

    I am sorry for Rudy, but let's face it - he was the one that signed the contract, he is the one that needs to accept it and make the best of it. Whining and pouting never works. If you do not have a positive look on life and embrace the challenges - you are going to be fucked sooner or later.

    He just kinda keeps to himself. He seemed a lot happier when his countryman was around.

    We need to hire a Spaniard to be Rudy's Jack Haley! Don't you have any Spanish-speaking relatives? And would they be prepared to fake a lisp?

    Man I haven't been to the Bare in forever! They had the craziest pool table there, it was like 2 pool tables put together in weird angles.

    hmmm....last time I was there which was probably 6 months ago it wasn't there. I've played pool there a few times and never seen it. But, then again your a lot older than me.

    Thanks for the link! I just got cable internet switching from dsl and it is so much faster! I don't have fios out here so I was stuck at 1M downloads and 300K uploads, now I've got 28M downloads and 8M uploads! What a difference. I use to have to hit pause and wait and wait for a video to download or else it'd break up all the way through, but not any more! Click and it's playing no problem. And what perfect timing!

    Losing Sergio cost us Rudy staying dedicated to the task. There is a language problem. He has the English vocabulary of a 10-year-old.

    He posted on his blog that he spent Thanksgiving sad and alone in his apartment. As I posted then, that told me that the sex symbol had no posse or girlfriend. I said he was miserable and lonely, and his loyalty to the Blazers was wavering.

    Is it really that hard for management to find hooks to bind him to Portland--male friends and girlfriends? Back up your $3m investment with a little work!

    He's welcome to my Thanksgiving dinner. Tons of food and lots of my friends speak Spanish (although Spaniards sometimes frown on the Spanish spoken by Mexicans and Central Americans). HCP, would you kindly convey the invitation?

    When him and Serg used to ramble on, I couldn't understand a word. Their Spanish was very different.
