Spring Break

It's going to be a collector's item soon.

You may find yourself asking, "Where has all of the playoff analysis gone?"—or probably, more appropriately, "What am I doing here reading about basketball? I was looking for Monica Potter photos!" Well, I'll give you a quick and simple answer: Darius Miles. The outspoken forward, who absolutely refuses to let the Trail Blazers clean up their image, made some very candid remarks recently while speaking with the local paper in town, The Oregonian. Here's a small sampling:

"Yeah, you probably smelled liquor on me before. But it’s not like I’m at practice drunk. I’m totally focused."

"I was late to a shootaround and I missed a shootaround. But I accept that. I overslept. I got up early, laid back down, and watched TV, because there was an hour until the bus, and I fell asleep."

"It’s like you are telling me I’m this franchise player, but hey…once I noticed it, and I was like, 'Dang, I don’t have no bobble-head?' They tried to get me one at the last minute, and I was like, ‘No, I’m fine.’"

If a multimillionaire can coast through a season while complaining the whole time, why can't I take a week off here and there? I sure as hell don't have no bobble-head. See you in the second round.
