    because (at least for me) it kind of validates them waiving him and we won't hear from a couple posters how it was a big mistake he was waived and that he can still dominate.

    I have same feelings. I feel bad for GO, but at the same time somewhat relieved. (And how bad can you feel for someone who made multi millions of dollars in professional basketball even though he has a body that can't play at the NBA level for a long period of time.)

    I don't feel bad at all for Greg. Sure he had unfortunate injuries, but the dude had the world in his hands, made .millions and decided to become an alcoholic. Waste of talent and an idiot.

    And he'll become much more than an alcoholic if he goes down again.

    When know (or atleast I think we do) that if he did just stay healthy. He would be awesome. So I agree this is tough that this problem is going to stop him from leaving a mark on the history of the game. Feel for him.

    He left a mark on the history of the game, just not the good kind.

    You're a bit unclear on what an alcoholic is, I see.

    You are underage and an elite athlete making millions. You're a dumb Fuck for even drinking alcohol in that position.

    Will anyone be watching the Miami Heat\Chicago Bulls game tonight? I'm sure Greg Oden will be playing. 5PM on TNT.

    What?!

    I love Greg more than just about anyone outside his momma, but if he gets 10 minutes I'll be scared for his knee. If he gets 25, he's getting 10 boards.

    3 minutes. 2 pts. 2 reb.

    If all he can is 3 minutes he probably shouldn't be playing at all. I realize it's just the first game but at some point he's got to get up to 20-25 minutes. He's had what......2 in a half years now?

    I agree, but I was playing along.

    I expect DNP-CDs until the All-Star break, then breaking him in slowly, based on how his knees are responding.
