Re: Greg Oden pickup game

I would like to think that I've earned the right to post news without it being categorized as a "rumor" though. That kind of irritated me when Quick labeled it that way.

I think a big reason why he did such is because it WAS on a message board (and let's be honest about our track record as a message board..we're a bunch of loons who come up with all sorts of ****)...and he didn't see it. So it's a much safer bet for him to say it was a rumor instead of reporting it as truth.

Imagine if him or Canzano did report something as truth, and then it turned out to be false. I know thats hard to believe that both fo those guys might do something dumb like that (esp Canzano), but if they did, they'd look bad. Of course, being the outstanding columnists they are, they'd automatically print up a retraction and apology.

Oh by the way, I saw Greg buying meth downtown today. ESPN better get on that quickly.

Re: Greg Oden pickup game

I always wanted one of my articles to make it to ESPN... just didn't think it would be this one.

You dirty *******!

I just reported this to Jason Quick. Hopefully, he gets to writing an article on this injustice right away!

Don't hate the player, hate the Pythagoras Theorem.

Re: Greg Oden pickup game

Crazy stuff that something on this board actually made it to ESPN.com. Luckily Greg didn't injure himself out there or have some goofy, uncoordinated guy fall on his leg awkwardly.

I think he was either saying that I:

A) ruined the franchise by playing in a basketball game with Greg Oden and possibly hurting his knee in the process.

or

B) ruined the franchise by making this public and possibly disenfranchising Greg with the team and thus leading to his immediate departure by trade demand...

or

C) He's just trolling and he has no idea what he's talking about. He just wanted to post in a legendary thread.
