Beer and Kickball- That’s What Portland Does

Underage girls need not apply

Portland Trailblazer Channing Frye has lost plenty of playing time this season with Greg Oden healthy.  So much, in fact, that he’s been able to plan a charity kickball game for the summer. 

Ed. Note: Channing fancies himself a blogger but I didn’t notice a single sex joke or picture of Marisa Miller.

For folks in the Portland area, be sure to tell Frye what the one thing you would need at a kickball game is.  He suggests food, beer or a roller coaster.  I suggest liquor, ecstacy and Megan Fox in a cheerleader uniform… and maybe some privacy. 

It sounds like Channing has one of the best gigs around.  He’s getting paid millions to sit on the bench at NBA games, travel with the team and isn’t expected to win them games… he’s just like Vinny Del Negro.

Now there’s talk that Frye’s kickball game could merge with a Portland area group’s attempt at breaking the world’s record for longest kickball game.  The current record is 25 hours, which is apparently shared by many people, including Utah Jazz small forward Kyle Korver.  So, an innocent, leisurely kickball game is turning into a way to compete against other NBA players.  Could kickball games be the new cars and houses… pro athletes all trying to make theirs bigger, more expensive and crazier than everyone else’s? 

Wait until Kobe Bryant gets wind of this.  He’ll be the greatest kickball player who has ever lived.  He’ll probably kick the ball over the Pacific Ocean.
