    I already feel like we'll be overpaying for the free OTA broadcasts this year.

    At least last year I was excited to see what Brogdon and Williams would bring…

    I don’t think we’re coincidentally injured every year. We’ve milked injuries for years

    I was not. They were never going to help us compete except for the draft capital they could bring in trade.

    I was a Brogdon fan long before he was a blazer and knew we’d suck anyways

    Traded for another good player that I don't think we'll be able to compete with. Not because he's incapable but because we won't have enough talent around him in time.

    If the athletic staff has changed, the coaches has changed... what hasn't changed? The replay dude!

    If I'm not mistaken, it was a new staff after the Oden/Roy debacle, and they did quite well for several years and then were replaced? The current staff doesn't seem to be doing particularly well.

    I find 215 for Jabari Walker hard to believe.

    In other pictures this week, they look more normal.

    My instant reaction was the same, about who to replace to stop the injuries. After you, we get to the assistant moderators, then the big tuna, Sly himself!

    Just to make it official…. @THE HCP is down to his lowest weight in 23 years. Still got along way to go. See pics of myself and I don’t see much difference (goes to show how heavy I was). Have had 4 or 5 people this summer ask me if I’ve lost a bunch of weight. That and my clothes fitting different is a pretty good feeling. Didn’t become Big John really until the kids were born. Nowhere near happy, so gonna keep grinding.
