"Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now! Cause when the going gets tough.. The tough get goin'. Who's with me?"

12/14 Junk Drawer: Snow (Yay! Yippee! Skippee!) Edition

dougall5505 — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 18:05:04 -0000

How many inches of the white stuff does everyone have at their house? Something about these days of snow brings out the kid in me, well I'm already a kid but you get the idea.

But I've always wondered one thing: What do the Blazers do on a snow day? I can see Rudy and Sergio wearing matching sweaters going around the neighborhood singing christmas carols in spanish. I like to imagine Greg Oden sledding down The Hill that he rehabbed on all last year. I can see Coach Dean holed up in his basement inventing a new zone defense. I can see Jerryd racing the neighborhood kids and then smashing their sleds when he loses.

What do you like to do on snow days? Hot chocolate? Snowmen? And what do you think the Blazers do with a snow day?

Trade Reaction From Pickaxe and Roll (Nuggets Blog)

As THE official ambassador for Pickaxe and Roll blog It is my honor, privilege, and duty to pass along this interesting information on how our division rivals think they will fare following the acquisition of Chauncey Billups. I'll give you a hint: they are pretty confident that they will make the playoffs leaving a certain team in Portland free to vacation in Jamacia.

Paul Allen Undergoes Medical Procedure

Don't know if anyone saw this but in the notes section of the game story today there was a note about Paul Allen: "Blazers owner Paul Allen was unable to attend Friday's home opener after undergoing an undisclosed medical procedure. On Thursday, Allen appeared in a video to accept the Seattle King County Realtor' First Citizen award, during which he said he couldn't attend 'due to the face I'm recovering from a medical procedure."

Paul doesn't have any next of kin right? I know he's relatively young but I wonder what would happen to the team if something happens...

Forgive Me Pritchard, For I Have Sinned

dougall5505 — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 20:18:08 -0000

I lifted this idea from California Golden Blogs via EDSBS: Think of this as Blazers fans' own confessional booth, where you can talk to KP and all of you sins will be forgiven. I don't want to accuse anyone of being unfaithful to our Trail Blazers but with the GO's recent ankle injury and the operations on Brandon, Channing, Martell, and don't forget Paul Allen, this is as good a time as any for the consciousness' of all BEers to be purged. If there is anything that you have done or said that is giving the Blazer's and their individual bones, joints, and organs bad karma, this is the place to get that monkey off your back and get rid of any bad juju that was not dispersed in Dave's infamous bonfire.

Here goes:

I sometimes enjoy watching K*be Bryant.
I own a J.R. Rider jersey.
I used a vulgar word in questioning KP's intelligence in forgoing picking any three of Chris Douglas Roberts, Mario Chalmers and Donte Green in his brilliant acquisition of Nicolas Batum.
Once, I spit on the Rose Garden's sidewalk.
If I had a second favorite team it would be the Celtics.
I agreed with Shaq last night when he said "Przybilla can't guard when I'm 27, 37 or 47." (although even KP knows this is true)
I wave every time I see a yellow Hummer just in case Damon Stoudamire is inside.

Open Thread: Ducks vs. Sun Devils

dougall5505 — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 01:08:14 -0000

Sun Devil Stadium

7:00 PM, no TV (I hate Tom Hansen when's he retiring?)

If no one is going to start a thread a start one myself. I'm hoping a lot of people will be here at ATQ since the games not on TV. Everyone should listen to the radio and post at the same time. Rudy should be in for a long night with Nick and Will coming at him all night and ASU's below average defensive line. This should be a good game, I'm pumped!

prediction: Oregon 38 ASU 21

First Bush Now O.J. Who's Next?

dougall5505 — Sun, 11 May 2008 17:29:41 -0000

Is is possible for USC's stars to stay out of trouble? On ESPN's outside the lines it is revealed that O.J. Mayo recieved gifts and money from a booster. I wonder if the NCAA will take action, with these two high-profile violations at USC you'd think they would at least lose scholarships. Anyway this should help the ducks out.

Did Kobe Flip Off the Refs?

dougall5505 — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:36:24 -0000

This might be old news by now but when I was watching the game the other day I noticed what looked like Kobe flipping off the refs. It happened right after the infamous Odom foul on Broy. Kobe was pleading the refs not to give Lamar a flagrant foul. But, I think it was Delaney, turned his back and promptly Kobe "scratched his head." It might be nothing, but if he really flipped him off he deserves a suspension, at least because he would be over the technical foul limit. I can't figure out how to post pictures in diaries so I just am going to link the photo on my flickr page.

So what do you guys think? Did he or didn't he?
