Channing Frye Explains How the Weather Is Up There

The Blazers' Channing Frye, who, from all accounts, is a thoughtful dude, has been blogging for a couple of months. Yesterday he presented his list of the pros and cons of being tall (Frye's listed at 6-11). Among them:

PROS
--I don’t have to be picky about a girl’s height because none of them are taller than me.
--I get automatic shotgun at all times.

CONS
--No matter what I wear, unless it’s a basketball jersey, I feel like it’s just not made for people my size (I personally just make it look good).
--No matter what seat I have on an airplane, unless it’s the team plane, NOTHING is comfortable — absolutely nothing. It’s a mental battle the whole trip trying to keep my knees from the people in front of me smashing them with their seats. I mean, seriously, do you not see the 7-ft man behind you? Do you think it’s cool to slam your chair back on our 330-hr flight?

About that plane thing--Channing Frye is making $2.7 million this year...he isn't doing the charter jet thing? Actually, being a relatively smart guy, he's probably trying to save his basketball earnings so he'll never have to work again. According to his blog, he drives a Chevy Tahoe.

Between C.Frye, B.Roy and G.Oden, can you imagine three guys more antithetical to the Jailblazers? Awesome find.
