Greg Oden - ESPN Outside the Lines

[jlprk]

I didn't say she didn't contribute to his problems...You think she had it coming and got what she deserved?

You deny that you said the implication of what you explicitly said, then you do the same...imagine an implication of what I explicitly said. I said you have no info behind your categoric denial that his longtime girlfriend wasn't part of his personal problems over the years.

So, you think she deserved getting punched in the face three times and getting her nose broken?

You did it again. I won't belabor us all with a long explanation post which begins...

I didn't say

You're trying REALLY hard to avoid answering the question I asked repeatedly. It's a simple yes or no question.

Do you think she deserved to be punched in the face three times?

[jlprk]

No, but then we don't know how many times over the years she had punched him in drunken brawls. That's what I have said...We don't know anything. You, on the other hand, say categorically that the situation was 100% his fault, she had not contributed to it, and he is an evil person who deserves to be locked up and the key thrown away. You are trying really hard to avoid retracting your quasi-religious, absolutist condemnation to the fires of Hell. As my quote of HCP said, the real world is shades of gray, not all black and white. You always post in that fashion...coming down hard on one sentence cherrypicked from a post.

She doesn't mention that he solved the problem by dumping the drunk bitch who constantly fought with him.

Ouch dude. That's fucked up.

Isn't she a daughter of a former Blazer player?

 

[jlprk]

Ouch dude. That's fucked up.

What's fucked up? You notice that he has no problem with his new girlfriend. No overdrinking. Already has a baby in domestic bliss, according to the feminist writer of the article.

Blazer fans should watch it. Made me think a little differently about Greg & his situation. I hope nothing but the best for him. He wanted to be great, his knees didn't allow it.

Blazer fans should watch it.

Is that a threat?

He's gonna be on the Dan Patrick Show today in the 8:00 hour.

Who? Never heard of him.

Something must have snapped in him after all the shit he went thru that changed him or something...... when he was with us I would never think he was capable of something like that. I grew up with quite a few people who had very good hearts..... went on later in life to make horrendous decisions.... As I get older I'm understanding and trying not to judge. You look at somebody and have no clue their past or trail they've taken to get where they are. Things happen that can sour your soul...... seen it too many times. I wish him the best.

Let's make an excuse for the inexcusable....

You know that's what Mike Tyson said about biting Holyfield's ear. "I snapped"....

Ironically, I'm at the same hotel I was staying at the night Oden's knee exploded against the Rockets.

I hadn't been back to this hotel since that night.

Gotta go to the hourly hotel that your "john" will take ya. Do what you have to.

He's treating me right. Salishan.

He is candid. He speaks with clarity. He was screwed by fate and the worst situation: the domestic charge against him when he punched his fiancée. Instead of being a coward and committing suicide like some rock music losers, he choose to educate himself through a pplanned degree and the OS basketball program. Got to respect his efforts to better rather than to darken himself.

ok....my creep out move as a youngster with no fillings or teeth issues until I grew up and moved was to chew on tinfoil gum wrappers and freak out my sister who had a mouth full of metal fillings
