Me and Ronald McDonald

I just got these pictures back from when i helped McDonalds with the launch of their new McCafe espresso drinks. I got to go to the McDonalds in Vancouver and i learned how to make the drinks myself. Its harder than i thought it would be though. Theres alot of flavors to choose from and theres alot you have to remember to make sure you make them right. Ronald was there and i got to work behind the cash register and they even gave me a brown McDonalds apron to wear which I kept and wore around the house. For real i did. For every coffee they sell McDonalds donates a portion to the Ronald McDonald House Charity here in Oregon. they said there tryin to raise $100,000 this year so hopefully everyone will go out and drink their coffee. The best part of the day was when they made me my favorite oreo mcflurry. I wish i could have one right now.

Greg, what a rout of the Suns! Great job! It's probably nice to look over at The Great Aristotle, sitting silently on the bench, during garbage time... IN THE THIRD QUARTER! You're right on track to help lead this team into the playoffs!

You're a class act, and you make Blazer Nation proud! Keep it up!

Ummm Ronald is a little scary looking. Besides that, it's nice to see you out and about in the community helping others. The Ronald McDonald House has a special place in my heart so I hope they go above and beyond their goal of $100,000.

  Yeah, it's not like only a tiny portion of the revenue goes to the children and a large one to the stockowners... People talking about a good cause? Promoting a new product for one of the largest companies in the world? Come on, promote something real, not new coffee from the company that is one of the major causes of bad nutrition around the world and is exploiting young people with few job options for sub-par wages. You've gotta see past the corporation talking about how much they care for children, and into the profitability of it all.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, clowns are scary. Ol' Ronnie is no exception. Regardless, you've lent your celebrity to a good cause and for that I salute you. Just stay clear of that clown lest he turn on you!

Good stuff G.O. You seem like such a good kid (I know you're 21 now & not a kid, but, in NBA years you're still a pup), Portland is very lucky to have good hearted players like yourself and many of your teammates. Keep up the good work G.O. and good luck against Mr. Conley tonight.

Greg, you've been playing well & carrying yourself like a man. Another asset to the club--not just on the court.
You have the luxury of not being called upon to try to carry the team. Just bide your time, focus on D, boards, and blocks, and the rest will come. You change games already, man, guys SCARED of the paint when you're in there.
Oh, and take some notes on Joel's textbook defensive positioning!

Lmao Greg! The last thing I expected was for you to be in a Mckie D's apron. It's for a good cause so that's what counts. You've been lookin good recently big guy. You have really been waiting in the weeds recently slapping floaters off the glass is a thing of beauty my man, a thing of beauty.

Greg you're a great guy, I'm proud that you are a Portland Trailblazer. Glad to see you are getting healthy. Get that baby hook down and you got a double double every game. Looking forward in the years ahead to see you not only dominate on defense, but what moves you develope on the offensive end. You make a huge difference when you're in the game. We need you to play well against Utah. I like seeing that smile on your face.

Greg, you're a great guy and an excellent addition to the portland community. I hope you NEVER know how it feels to wear a NBA uniform that doesn't say Blazers on it.

Greg your looking good on the court and at Mickey D's. I know some of the fans and media has been frustrated that you aren't a Patrick Ewing quite yet. But don't listen to them and hang in there. I think most of the blazer nation are very optimistic and very thankful to have you on the team. Take your time and keep working hard and we will always have your back.

Hey Greg, I saw the video where you hit that 3/4 court shot at that hoops camp...wow! Was that on the first try?!?

spiderface said April 01, 2009

YEah Greg that shot was great. Those kids were so excited! Lebron aint got nothing on you. Nice job on the 12 8 and 2 in 11 the other night and I like that your not afraid to punish guys in the lane though it would be nice to see you get more minutes. I cant wait for the Laker game. THey got Denver the night before so if you guys come out strong right of the bat it could be a slaughter. Good luck for the rest of the season and I will be trying my best to get playoff tickets!

Looking back at all those old videos from when you first got to Portland and couldn't play, that long wait and no it has all payed off. The team is doing great, Blazers going to the playoffs and you've helped us so much being out there. Thanks for working hard and helping this team back to the playoffs. Keep swatting those shots to half court lol.

Greg. This (the McDonalds thing) and because you are just a great guy, is why we love you, not because you are going to bring us a championship. You and the rest of the team are like our children and we want the best for you. We want you to be succesfull. A championship would really be nice for the fans but it is really for the team. We (the fans) have what we have wanted (a team of a great bunch of guys). We are so proud of all of you. Don't pay attention to the ones that debate wheather you are going to be great or a flop. You are great (a great person). I hope you do get a ring or rings to show your grand children someday and that they will be as proud of you as we are now. You will always be loved by the real Blazer fans.
