On: Chad Ford Link = ESPN Insider The last sentence is huge insult to injure for the Magic fans. If Rockets make it to the NBA Finals, against either Miami or Detroit, then it'd be a former Magic party. Orlando can be crowned as the criddle of NBA Champions.
So many articles about a team nobody cares about. ESPN & Chad Ford....fan or not, nobody cares about the Orlando Magic right now. You can't find a signle other NBA topic to write about at this point in the season??
The Chad Ford comedy continues. “On paper, the McGrady-for-Francis swap has the potential to be a disaster for the Magic. … Francis has as much baggage as McGrady, and possibly more.” -- Chad Ford, June 22, 2004 “This is what happens when you let a hockey guy run an NBA team.” -- Chad Ford, June 23, 2004 “A number of NBA GMs snickered [at] Weisbrod, whose only real experience to date had been running a minor-league hockey franchise … When word leaked [about the Francis-for-McGrady] deal … just about everyone in the league shook their head and said, off the record, of course, ‘I told you so.’ Now it might be Weisbrod who is having the last laugh.” -- Chad Ford, Oct. 20, 2004 "Put together Weisbrod's scouting report on McGrady with Francis' take on Van Gundy, and it's not a stretch to wonder how well the two are going to get along this season." -- Chad Ford, Oct. 25, 2004 “John Weisbrod would consider trading ANYONE on the Magic if he didn't believe they were pulling their weight. He's been unhappy with Francis' effort, leadership and defense.” -- Chad Ford, Feb. 16, 2005 “TMac looks Jordan-esque for the Rockets. … [The Magic] never should've traded T-Mac … Why didn't the Magic fix the culture of losing in Orlando instead of scapegoating one superstar?” -- Chad Ford, April 27, 2005
That might be a bit too long to stick on a classic moments banner, but frankly, nobody does it like Chad Ford.
It's not that tough to be a ESPN writer like Chad Ford, I swear most of us here can do a better job than this guy. At least Chad Ford from time to time would give a little prop to the Rox.
