Today, Jim Rome said of his visit to Portland yesterday, that no one made him hug a tree, buy a 15 dollar latte, cozy up to any granolas, and he didn't see any rain.  He enjoyed his visit to Portland.

I on the other hand, have tickets to Friday's game against the Spurs, but feel rather blah about it.  When I'm excited for the Blazers, I get out and hoop, run, hit the eliptical and exercise as much as I can.  Now that Bill Simmon's is a prophet and the Blazer's suck in their first 5 games (we'll ok, they don't suck, but they'll be very lucky to make the playoffs at this clip), I have lost all motivation to hoop.  You know, usually when you drive to the rim, you think you're Brandon or Rudy or LA in the back of your mind.  Well, I don't want to be any of those guys right now, so I'm going on an excercise STRIKE until the Blazers start winning.  I think a lot of people are like me and get their energy from team wins.  You hear that team?  U either need to start winning, or you'll have a very Fat Portland on your hands...and it will all be your fault.

Agree?

PS:  Start Miller, and get the adjusting period over now, so we don't play this back and forth who's the starter game all year.
