    The Ghosts should look a little more Afrocentric in order to be Historically Accurate. Ice Cream Sandwiches& Rock Band sounds like fun. The Days of the irresponsible Manchild are tiresome.

    That's awesome......the early JBlazers were an awesome, but dysfunctional bunch. It was hard to watch, but fun because we won. The later editions of the JBLazers were painful to even think about. Dumb as a rock and bad at basketball is a bad combination. My fanhood trudged on, receiving blow after blow.......JR Rider smoking kush out of a pop can, Qyntel Woods giving the po po his trading card as ID, Damon and Sheed smoking down the 5 in the yellow hummer, Damon trying to trick the metal detectors at the airport by wrapping his dope in tinfoil. You know, a real clever bunch. Then we had ZBo and his Hoop Family rockin' the P, his favorite haunt, the Greek Cuisina.
    It's hard to even describe the corporate washing we've been through, and what it means to the city of Portland. Rip City is back and crazier than ever. Every game is a sellout, and a playoff atmosphere......LOUD. We even sold out the first pre-season game.......against the Kings!
    Being a fan is fun again.

    Kingpinhead, it's a comic, and he's drawing skeleton skulls. There is nothing ethnocentric about skeletons.

    You're no stripper if you wrote that whole sentence sans grammatical errors! I'm on to you.

    We all know Sabas was the real problem, he probably killed dozens of hookers.

    No, Sabas' wife ran over them when she was driving drunk.
