I know what his birth certificate says, but. . .

. . . he's got the knees of a 40-year-old, too! (not just the face)


So, I'm a day or two late on this news, but I think it's worth mentioning that ESPN's two-year-and-change (if not more) hype of Greg Oden is going to have to continue even longer, as he's out for the season after knee surgery yesterday; it's always enjoyable to see those overzealous bastards squirm.

It's really a shame for Oden, though, because he's a great player and a good kid with a seemingly jovial character (always refreshing in professional sports, with people always acting like they're at war or something). I wish him the best, and hopefully for very few reporters beating down his door while he recovers.
