I argued with a woman who was claiming covid-19 was less deadly than the flu. Only to find out later that her father died of covid-19 a couple weeks prior. But she was adamant.
I don't know how I feel about the hire. Xs and Os wise, hasn't coached before, how can I judge good or bad. Leader and personality wise, there have been some VERY successful players who went on to be not so good coaches. His resume as a player should demand instant respect. On the flip side, there have been journeymen and some who barely made the league who ended up crushing it. All a crap shoot if you ask me. I've always said, Coaches get too much blame and too much credit.
I was thinking the exact same thing. The same people that are outraged are probably the same people that believe the judicial/legal system is broken and want a more progressive/rehabilitative system where actual criminals are given the ability to reform and have a 2nd chance to reintegrate to society. Yet they have come with their pitchforks and want to cancel a man that was never even charged with a crime.
Depends on what you use it for. I share my photography with family on Instagram. We are able to stay in touch with family all over the world with facebook. And shit, my daughter might just get a college soccer scholarship because of twitter.
Been there, done that FAMS!
you forgot the larry brown connection.
No. I highly doubt they’re similar. Mo Cheeks was a worthless coach. He would just sit there during practice while his assistants did all the work. He was a total fraud. McMillan at least would get in there and teach the players. He was extremely involved in practice. Based on what we know about Billups, he seems more of a teacher.
I had no idea you were this cool?
I’m out of the area as well, but lived in Portland my first 40 years and still have a ton of friends and family there. It’s a bit of both to be honest. But I think the Twitter Warriors definitely outweigh the community.
Maybe we should start with hoping for 1 1/2 way players?
I’ll bet most fans have no idea about that. They are starting to because other fans are throwing it in their angry faces though. What kills me is our media not banging that drum. If you wanna try and bury Billups , which I don’t agree with, fine, but where is the same passion towards the owner? She settled just like Billups.
The writing is on the wall.
I think there is a lot of truth to this
This is a good combination of "whataboutism" and obfuscation. It's the old "she's no angel" tactic. You're also implying that Portlanders regard accused rapists and Christians as on a par, which subscribes to an absurd right-wing caricature of liberals.
The good news is, it's not about you.
To be fair, I don't think Mo could. But he could remember the words, at least.
