    Could you imagine the look on those poor tourists' - and driver's - faces had they been anywhere near Rudy's fall last night?!!

    Really?!! HOLY CRAP! That would have been wild! If that were the case, I would have signed up to have Rick Moranis shrink me for one of those rides. :lol:

    BTW, as you live in LA, I'd be curious to know what kind of looks/remarks/flak do you get down there when you don various Blazer gear?

    I get some when I rock my blazers gear..mostly...

    "Blazers?"

    like they're confused or something about it. when I go to games at Staples, people just yell from their cars (unprovoked) "Blazers fucking suck".

    he'd be too recognizable for that role. people would wonder why the guy from bones is giving an NBA tour. Should have hired Travis Outlaw!

    Generally speaking, when stars begin down the road of doing commercial spots and promos, it's signaling the downward slide of their respective careers.

    Yeah, in this day and age (and viewing variety), that old adage may not be true anymore.

    Not much reaction of any sort. I wore my Oden jersey when I was playing ball at LA Fitness yesterday and the defense would say stuff like "Who's got Portland?" or "Guard Oden." But no comment on the jersey itself.

    seriously, you're better off without it. No Blazer fan as dedicated as you are should ever be forced to participate in a commercial praising Kobe Bryant's "appreciation" of teammates. Besides, judging by the guy they chose, they obviously wanted someone decidedly uncool. No way that guy could pull off rocking an outfit like this

    LOL, I was crazy that day. I just threw on every shiny thing I had. Got a helluva lot more attention on the red carpet that day.
