I sail the seas of England in search of fair maiden and drink. My crew and I challenge the locals of any port to a game of basketball, few dare to accept fearing our beards and black and red attire. I hope to make my voyage to Portland soon, said to be the home of the best Basketball in Western America and players with facial hair to rival our own. It could be an old sea dogs home some day.

Commented That's good to see, the momentum changes and instead of shooting jump shots like we normally do in bail out mode, we go to the rack. on Gameday Open Thread: Bulls vs. Blazers--Second Half on Blazersedge - 11/23/09 11:29 PM EST

Commented Roy is a lazy defender who doesn't fight through screens, does not chase his man, plays little help defense and what is even worse is the fact that he is the leader. on Ego, Selfishness, Superstars, and Perspective on Blazersedge - 11/23/09 11:31 AM EST
