Walt was apparently interviewed earlier this afternoon (like 5 hours ago, hehe). He said some VERY interesting things. His first comment was last year he came in with a bad attitude. He didn't want to come, and was handed the starting job so his attitude didn't change. He talked about he was disrespectful to Rudy and all the coaches last year. He said he never slumped last year, because he only took 4 and 5 shots a game. He wasn't happy until the end. He started being more assertive and got more shots coming his way, which is why he ended with a bang. He is looking forward to this year, and says he's being a man and respecting his team and staff. --------------- Wow, I didn't realize how unhappy Walt was most of last season. I thought he just didn't care. He apparently lost focus and is now rededicating. What's the world coming to, I complimented KT, and now have a greater respect for Walt? Who else can I bash? ------------------ The Serious Police are watching. Follow the rules or be assimilated. Shandon is underrated.
Surprising, to say the least. Well, what can i say? Though i could care less for his attitude, which could almost be labeled unprofessional, at least he has to take some credit for keeping his dislike of the situation private, and not voicing it like a whining baby (guess who). While i hope what he said is true, it's all a bit too easy for me. "Sure i slumped, i didn't want to be here." Let's hope he can keep the intensity he showed in the last few weeks of the season and erases all my doubts. I'll hold my judgment until then. ------------------ By moonlight, we RIDE ten THOUSAND side by side...!
Do you think he should give some of his money back from last year? After all, he didn't earn it until the end of the season. ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
Personally, I respect the guy for having the cojones to stand up and basically say, "I was wrong" It takes a man to do that. We shouldn't judge him for taking responsibility for his actions. We should commend him. ------------------ Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and pimp-slap the mother****** upside the head!
BobFinn*, Yes. He just admitted that he didn't try to "earn" his money in the beginning of the year. That's like Minnesota admitting they made an illegal side deal with Joe Smith, dumb. I respect him for being a professinal, and I really don't hate him that much, but I still think he's overpaid. ------------------ I have a dream.........his name's Hakeem. DREAMer's Rocket Page
Wow !!! this sure is surprising ! maybe being the gizzerd in the group did not help but seriously, I hope this yr. is a different story and he knows that he is needed. ------------------ Life moves pretty fast, If you don't stop and look once in a while you might miss it!! ... Ferris Bueler
Interesting to say the least I don't understand his attitude though I WANNA STAY IN PORTLAND AND BE A 5TH Stringer Rather than be in houston and start As a Player I'd rather play every night than Be Chuck Nevit with a championship [I guess it was economic] Rocket River ------------------
