surely there are better people out there for the Blazers to hire. Why oh why don't they hold people responsible for their behavior and get rid of the criminal thugs? And I am not just talking basketball-but ALL sports.

Anytime you Houze-up, it's for a reason.

tsk, tsk, Jack. Hiring a criminal defense lawyer isn't evidence (let alone proof) of guilt. Remember the presumption of innocence? (You may be out of practice with the concept of "presumption on innocence" -- thinking about the IRS as much as you do.)
If someone falsely accused you of a crime, who would you hire, a labor lawyer?

re: that previous comment. I ran into Darius at the Safari (strip) club just two weeks after the previous commenter. He whipped out his Amex black card and outfitted his entourage with $2,200 in one dollar bills. They were throwing them by the handful. Teh man himself sat back in the corner, having his shoulders rubbed and talking to one of the girls there - reportedly exchange for a wrapped stack of ones. All the rest of us chose to step back and let the girls make their "tuition" money. The basketball, it pays well.

I think there still hoping his knee forces him to retire which means they get some of his cap space back.
Note this isn't about them trying to save money, they are stuck paying him no matter what, but if he retires the freed up cap space can be usefull for signing other players, or more likley making a trade. Having some cap space to sweeten the pot could be usefull for another of Prithard's patented draft day trades.

But he hasn't been accused of anything yet, and already he's, as one commenter brilliantly put it, "Houzing up." Of course, he's innocent in the eyes of the law. But fortunately for everyone, I'm not the law.

So why is it that people can comment on unsubstantiated rumors about Darius Miles, but I can't do the same regarding coke-using chefs?
Posted by CH | October 24, 2007 4:24 PM
Relieved to see Bernie has not "Houzed up!"

Darius has absolutely no influence on the current Blazers roster of outstanding athletes and characters. James Jones for example, double degrees in real estae and finance. You really think he gives a rat's behind about Darius? Or any of the other guys? Please.
Posted by Alexander | October 24, 2007 5:44 PM
One of the first things Oden said after his surgery was that he was getting lots of advice from Darius. When Darius is on the bench in street clothes, guys like Aldridge are yukking it up with him all through the game.
Who's James Jones? And what team will he be on in March?

Because (a) truth is a defense to defamation, and (b) this is my site.
Posted by Jack Bog | October 24, 2007 11:21 PM
And so he must be guilty of something.
So if that isn't the truth, it's defamation?
Regarding it being your site, that's fair. But next time, I'd rather you simply not post the comment. If it doesn't pass your stringent test of legality, trash it rather than editing it for content.
