The guy who sits next to me sometimes at Blazers games is a rabid and irrational Rudy Fernandez supporter and bleats all over the place moaning that Rudy isn't getting as many minutes as Travis Outlaw. Last night Travis had 19 pts in 23 minutes, Rudy 3 in 17. But all night this moist-lipped waterhead was yelling "Nate! What are you doing!" and my arm was covered in a spray of spit.
Then right at the end he said to his friend, "Rudy never gets enough minutes and Nate will play any jigaboo off the street!" and I was too stunned to respond beyond wondering what the fuck town I was in to hear this shit.
That's all. Fuck that guy.
90 total free throws in the game.
The Blazers lost the game fair and square, I am not blaming the refs, but jesus they sure do love blowing their whistles. So many phantom calls on both ends all night. Makes it really really difficult to enjoy a game.
Yeah LaMarcus and Oden missing from the line in the last minute doesn't help either.
That can't be right, I'm pretty sure Matt Davis is staunchly against the use of public money for anything like a private sports venture.
Heater Allen is making some great beers. The Isar Weizen and Common beer are really delicious on a hot day. Haven't tried the Pilsner yet but will do soon, thanks for the tip!
I like this bit:
“We are excited to have an opportunity to host a ‘turn-back-the-clock’ game at the Memorial Coliseum,” Trail Blazers President Larry Miller said. “It will be very nostalgic for many Trail Blazers fans, and for others a chance to see the team play in its original venue for the first time.”
...before we blow that fucking thing up and build us a couple shitty theme bars and a Carls Jr.!!!
If we advance beyond Kitsap and whichever So Cal side, we'll probably play seattle in the third round of the USOC on June 30 or thereabouts, and the game will probably be in Tukwila.
R.I.P. Howie - a class act and a good friend, he is missed terribly. Thanks for the report, Mark.
