    I hope this is exactly what he's doing, swinging for the fences in a way no one expects but we will love.

    Ya Morey is driving one of those Tundras right into Bosh's living room and replacing his brain with a floppy disk. Give Adelman his monocle and get Morey to start rockin a cape.

    the thing that i dont get is if the rockets are on this road trip to lure bosh wouldn't they have to cross the border which requires each person to have a passport...so do you think the rowdies actually do know where they are going

    Bosh is not in Toronto. He's done there. He said he'll be home in Dallas last week on the M&M show.

    Free agency caravan day 2

    http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/on_the_road_the_official_blog_2010_06_28.html



    A new day.


    The sun is shining, the Tundras are packed and we’re headed someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen.


    OK, not really. We’re actually on our way to Rayville, Louisiana, birthplace of the first great center in Rockets’ history: man by the name of Elvin Hayes. Hall of Famer, class of 1990. Daryl has assigned us the task of snapping a picture of the big man’s boyhood home. So we’re on the case.


    After that? Who knows? I’ll check in with more this afternoon. In the meantime, be sure to check out our first videos from the trip: the first shines the spotlight as the Rowdies discuss what it means to have the fans involved in the Rockets’ pursuit of free agents, while the second takes a look at our ill-fated trip to the Waffle House in Hope.

    P.S. Erasure's "Respect" is currently playing on the stereo. I swear I'm not at the controls. Seriously.

    JCF

    Are the rocketsgoing after bosh because it looks to me like they that maybe they aren't going after bosh

    i seriously doubt they'd consider driving all the way to canada....they really dont need to go far, they are positioned perfectly to go meet bosh, johnson and james.

    Just saw the vids....anyone catch what was said when the vid ended, at the gas station?

    Second video was alright, but not a lot of rockets stuff going on...

    I'm sure they are reading this thread along their way and i want to make a suggestion:

    At every stop y'all make to eat, convert someone from that place into a rockets fan. Try to get the waiter/waitress to say "go rockets", maybe even put a rockets cap on them....try to get as many locals to support the Rockets in your vids

    Isn't is Clutch's idea? I swear I saw Clutch either post or twitt what he suggested after Morey asked for ideas...

    Come on, someone tell me I'm not dreaming this up! :)

    actually Bosh just bought a house in Miami this week and him and Wade met up last night in Miami and are staying in a hotel for now(bosh is)

    Its a sign sealed and tampered deal to Miami. If dumbass me know this why doesnt Morey? You'd think Bosh's agent would be telling Morey to quit stalking Bosh because Bosh is going to Miami. I dont get it. Maybe Morey doesnt take no for an answer? Um,When a FA buys a house at the last minute in the same city he is rumored to sign with, its doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

    Unless this caravan is just sum sick ploy to boost ticket sales? Waste of time. Who else is out there? Are they doing this caravan to get Foyle? LOL. Please no Joe Johnson. I only wanted him to get Johnson to bring Bosh as a tandem.

    Amare just flat out hates us. Maybe because of 2002 draft. Rumor is Spurs are after Amare, yet the Rockets arent rumored. Im convinced its Bosh or Bust and there is NO plan B. The reason I say this is because since Bosh just bought a house in Miami ,there wouldnt be a caravan,they would be having Al Jefferson or Amare fly into Houston (by plane,not by stalking them outside their homes with 3 trucks) .

    Knocking on Rashards door didnt work, knocking on Gordats door didnt work,why doesnt Morey get the hint that these players dont like to be woken up at midnight with a red painted face rowdie screaming at them at midnight while they are in pajamas?

    http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/06/29/1706417/wade-reps-dispute-espn-report.html


    "Two of Dwyane Wade's representatives on Tuesday disputed an ESPN report that Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh held a mini-summit in Miami this past weekend to discuss their plans for free agency, which begins Thursday.

    Wade's representatives said the report was untrue, and that Wade spent the weekend in Chicago. Bosh spent the weekend in Miami and told The Miami Herald that the Heat is in ``top contention'' to sign him."

    Great reporting chapman!

    whenever i go out of town i usually stay at a hotel too....

    Chuck is coming back from retirement?

    Wonder if they'll drive to Nigeria at some point to visit Hakeem's birthplace.

    I've said it many times, morey is the master of the p.r. machine. Its great advertising for toyota and it seems like great fan interaction, but all a free agent has to do is look at the paid attendence by the rockets being in the middle or watch a game minus a big time team and see the lower bowl being empty. Houston has always been a front runner type of coty. If you're not serious about winning a ring, fans find other things to do.

    Someone forgot to tell them sex sells. Over fill those Tundras with the hottest RPD and maybe a couple of those girls that do crazy ass flips at halftime and watch the media follow. Show up Bosh's house with them and see if he is not a little bit tickled. But if instead you show up with a unch of crazed looking rowdies he may call the police when you show up.
