Up in Blazes. Can anything change the pernicious culture that reigns in Portland?

There are a few NBA coaches you wouldn't want to be right now. You wouldn't want to be Cleveland's Paul Silas, who can't figure out what to do with Ricky Davis or how to break the Cavs' almost surreal inability to win on the road. (Tuesday night's loss at Denver being their 32nd in a row over two seasons.) You wouldn't want to be Eddie Jordan, who (like Doug Collins before him) can't figure out how to get through to Kwame Brown, who now blames his mediocre play on his not "getting noticed" by his teammates. Let's not even get into whether you'd want to be Johnny Davis, recently appointed to rescue the sinking ship that is the Orlando Magic, or Mike Dunleavy, stuck in the sloggy mess that is the Los Angeles Clippers.

Portland citizens for the most part will tolerant any behavior except that of Christians, real Jews and conservatives.

Portland sports fans are so desperate for a pro franchise, they will tolerate any behavior by the Blazer players.

This is just another example of what happens when liberals control the government and media in a city for Decades. Anything goes.

Michael Jackson will probably move to Portland and be appointed the city's ambassador to young males by Mayor Katz.

Maybe management has begun to clean it up. They traded Bonzi Wells to the Memphis Grizzles for Wesley Person.

Two things: This means Bonzi will be working for Jerry West, who won't put up with his crap...and may be able to turn him around. If not, the coach, Hubie Brown will.

This also means Portland has Wesley Person, who is a class act...a veteran player who comes to work everyday, and does what he's asked. He can be a positive influence.

Portland needs Rasheed Wallace's talent, but I think he makes about $16,000,000. and they don't need that.

Oh, the joys of professional sports!! :o)
