Report: Oden out for season, broken left knee cap

No Offense · Post #151 » by **No Offense** » Sun Dec 6, 2009 5:18 am

This is terrible news. I think that Big Z should reach out to him. I doubt he will, but it would be a nice gesture coming from a guy who broke a franchise record for games played and who had missed entire seasons in his early career.

150 million Americans are without a job? WTF... That's like 50% of our population which simply isn't true.

It is 50% of the population and it is true.

Actually, as he specified 'under the age of 50', it would mean 65-75% unemployment.

No it's not. It's more like 10% if you take out kids and seniors.

moral of the story:
DONT DRAFT PEOPLE WHO ARE **** DEFORMED
Blazers must have been arrogant as **** to think they could keep him healthy.

Would you be the same ignorant hater if Oklahoma took Greg at 2 instead?
Would they be arrogant too if they took him?
What a moron.

Well I searched "150 million Americans without a job" and the 6th search option was this thread. That settles it.

Extremely sad and unfortunate for Oden and the Blazers, hopefully this is the last time he gets injured, although very unlikely...get well soon Greg.

he's done

what he needs is internal fixation to put the knee cap back. He is going to have ridiculous arthritis for the rest of his playing life. He won't be able to jump at all.

I just think it makes more sense that if there are 304,000,000 people in the United States, and 139,000,000 have jobs, then unemployment is at 50+%

Why would you count people under 18 and above 60 though? It doesn't make sense to count 12 year old kids or 75 year old seniors.

Total labor force is 153 million. 15 million people in the labor force don't have jobs. 15/150 = .1 = 10% unemployment.

I would count everyone else because they don't pay for themselves. The entire weight of the country is on the backs of nearly a f*cking third of us.

Or people who have to no desire to get a job.

Didn't Blake Griffin fracture his patella and he's only missing 6-8 weeks? Oden must have had a serious fracture if he's going to be out the whole year..

Blazer fans are quickly becoming amongst the most annoying at RealGM (some of them anyway) but this sucks, especially for Greg. People talk about money and whatever but think about how much pain this guy will be in while he recovers day to day, and probably for the rest of his life. His life doesn't stop when he walks off the basketball court. Hope he recovers quickly.

It sucks to see a player of Oden's ability go down because he's a guy you want to see succeed no matter what team you're a fan of. Hope he returns healthy.
