Either Kevon Looney REALLY hates New Orleans or he's totally washed. Which might explain why he's no longer a Warrior?

THEY DID IT! THOSE CRAZY BASTARDS DID IT! Season saved!

They could converse in rapid -fire Spanish and it would just be cool to have another international player on the team. Especially from South of the border. Way, way South? Not sure where Jose is from or if he is American born or not. Haven't researched, yet.

I wasn't talking about them becoming a couple. Settle down.

If I’m not mistaken, our current head coach is Brazilian. The official language of Brazil is currently Portuguese.

I read that he’s also fluent in Spanish after playing in Spain earlier in his career.

Portuguese Spanish pretty much the same right?

Ahh, yes, I once knew that but forgot!

Does Tiago speak Spanish? Brazilians speak Portuguese, but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

I had forgotten this about Brazil, but heard that he also spoke Spanish, so that was the connection in mind.

To think what one could do if one learned serviceable Portuguese and one mingled with the thong-strutting birds of the beaches of Rio with one's wife's assistance and approval??!? Does the dollar go incredibly far there like other S.A. countries? If so, with a few hundred dollars, one could live like a KING and QUEEN for a month! Perhaps armed with a daily course of penicillin, but still!

The language might not be necessary, but would be better to be able to say colorful things in the native tongue.

What would it take to get Alvarado NOW?? He would be a great fit on our team.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Baby steps. (Alvarado is PUMPED!)

man I worked in Rio for a month a couple summers ago. I learned a few phrases in Portuguese, but i would continue to try Spanish out of habit and man I was lost. It’s so different. It’s like a mixture of Spanish and French kinda.
