Starts at 9am-2pm at the Toyota Center. Players will be there as well. First 300 get a "Give Red, Get Red" t-shirt and you can buy pre-season tix for $2. Limit two. More info. Go to www.houstonrockets.com I'll be there.
300 = the 300 Spartans who sacraficed their lives to save their home. Which means if they give shirts to everyone its going to waste a lot of money when they could use the shirt money for more food. See the resemblence?
I agree. I have gotten 3 or 4 blood-donor shirts, and it wasn't because I got there early. I can only remember 1 donation I gave that I didn't get some kind of freebie for my trouble. And, a drawing for a preseason game? Weak. The article made me wonder, on a different topic, if NBA players are allowed to give blood. I kinda suspect they have clauses in their contract to disallow them to. I think seeing Rockets players give blood would be better PR than 300 free t-shirts.
not sure what you're being such a condescending smart-ass for, but you do realize that the heroes in this are the men and women who get a needle jammed into their veins and donate a pint of their blood for the purpose of saving other people's lives, not the $500 million organization who commissions a truck and technicians to come take it, right?? saying "we'll give the first 300 of you a free t-shirt" is a slap in the face, imo. if you are a donor, you go when your schedule allows it. advertising incentives to get there earlier than everybody else seems to miss the entire point and spirit of donating blood.
That $500 million organization is also getting its staff and players to donate their blood and time as well, so they're also the heros. I just heard it on the radio and people like you always want stuff for free. Every consider doing something to just to do it? It's a slap in the face to people who need it and people like you who cry casue they're not getting a shirt. Just do it and quit crying. I'll buy you a shirt if you need one that bad.
Oh, here's what the cheapstake organization did the other day too: Team owner Leslie Alexander and the Rockets organization, working with Feed the Children, have purchased three semi trucks loaded with pre-packaged, non-perishable food and essential toiletry supplies that will be distributed to area residents.
They said it will be posted on the podcast page, but it was pretty basic. Said he was healthy and that the Rockets made good moves in the off season. Asked him about facing the Jazz (because of the SLT article on here) and he replied that he thinks everything depends on health. Wasn't long, just a couple of minutes.
Sources say they are doing the blood drive because Daryl Morey is a vampire and he's hungry. Is it true?
