Happy Father's Day to all Blazers who are dads and all dads of the Blazers. Also Happy Father's Day to all Blazer fans who are Dads, and all Dads of Blazer fans. And lets' not leave out anyone in the front office or anyone who works for the Blazers in any way. Happy Father's Day to all dads who work for the Blazers and all dads of people who work for the Blazers. Happy Father's Day to Nate McMillan especially, because he is like a dad to all the players and he sets a great example of what it means to be a  father and a man.

Father's Day was probably invented by the Hallmark Company because it's a great excuse to sell more greeting cards. But you know what? Father's Day is really really important because we need to honor our fathers. Fathers are really really important. I'm a coach of kids soccer teams and I can always tell when a kid is missing her dad, when a kid doesn't have her dad in her life. I can also tell when a kid is growing up with a lot of love and attention from her dad. It makes all the difference in the world. It's a constant affirmation that is truly necessary to growing up healthy and confident and strong.

So I say hurray to all fathers. Your love keeps the world going round.
