Greg has a new dog, Charles Barkley McLovin.... Link

He does of course pee in the house, making me mad. I know it takes time to train a dog, but don't you wish that a dog can just be born knowing to go to the restroom outside and to eat his food out of the dish?

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Top NBA draft pick Greg Oden doesn't remember much from immediately after knee surgery. He was with his mother at home when he found out how serious it was.
"I kinda looked at my mom and said, 'I'm out for the season? You kidding me?' " he said.
Oden will be on crutches for six more weeks. Full recovery likely will take six to 12 months. He has started swimming, and a machine gently bends his knee for six hours a day.
Oden was at the Trail Blazers' practice facility on Thursday on crutches and with his surgically repaired left knee wrapped in ice.
Except for a videotaped blog entry, it was the 7-footer's first public appearance since undergoing microfracture surgery on Sept. 13. He will miss the season rehabbing.
Oden was in good spirits, although he said the full impact of missing the season probably won't hit him until Tuesday, when the Blazers start fall practice for the season.
"You know, it is a setback, but I'm excited to be able to scout the NBA for the whole year, and just know that next year when I come in I'm going to be 20 years old, I'm going to be very mature, and I'm going to be ready to play.''
He even predicted he'd be better than he was before: "I'm hoping for a 40-inch vertical.''

His name is Charles Barkley McLovin and he is my new dog. He is a Boston/Beagle. He is not too big because i cant have a big dog while im renting my house. He is very quiet, hasnt even barked since i had him so far. He does of course pee in the house, making me mad. I know it takes time to train a dog, but don't you wish that a dog can just be born knowing to go to the restroom outside and to eat his food out of the dish?

Sorry if this is old, but I just saw it today...

Oden's ESPN the Magazine commercial is great! I couldn't find a version to post, but its great dead-pan humor.

Hooray for YouTube. I'd say Greg's is the second best ESPN The Magazine commercial.

I don't think it tops the one Jeff Kent did back around the time The Magazine launched, though.
