Huh? Who uses an axe? I actually use a sword and sharpen it with medically precise slices, which I never get tired of because the pool that forms on the ground is like a never ending Rorschach test of red. And do you know what it tells me about my personality? I am a ninja! Ben Golliver pirates from the internet. I'm a ninja, therefor I ninja things to the internet.

LOL! Go Ninja! [video=youtube;uEUaE2pUR_U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEUaE2pUR_U[/video] And Ben's job on Blazersedge is to (you call it pirate, I call it collect, compile, and compress) any and all things Blazers on the internet. That's exactly what he's paid to do. If you want to criticize his writing, criticize his articles on SI, or his Media Row Reports. Holding his blog entries to the same standard as a sports column is unfair, and forgive me for being blunt, a little silly.
Well, I guess that the benefit of being a woman. I can walk AND chew gum at the same time. I don't have to choose.
My main problem with Ben is that he never tweets about Blazer games when they are on the road (but he will still tweet about other teams that are playing that night). Blazer's Edge is a fan site first and foremost. That means they should comment on the team when they are on the road too, not just only comment on the games when there are free tickets to the game at home. If he only wants to write about the home games, that is fine I enjoy the media row report. But give the twitter account to someone that watches all the games, not just the home games from media row.
Get a job at Blazer's Edge and Sports Illustrated, then you will get some free tickets aka a press pass.
