03.10.09 PORTLAND’S RUDY FERNANDEZ: FLOPTASTIC?
Portland’s Rudy Fernandez was carried off the floor in the third quarter of Portland’s win against the Lakers last night after taking an interesting foul from Trevor Ariza. After catching an elbow from behind, the Spaniard flailed and crashed to the floor. Fernandez’s salesmanship started a tussle between both teams, and Ariza was teed up and ejected. And just to ensure his cooter didn’t catch any more sand in it, Fernandez was hauled off on a stretcher wearing a neck brace. Wait, I thought the World Cup was next year.
Fernandez was conscious and alert when he left the court, and he had full movement of his extremities, the team said. But he was experiencing chest pain and was taken to a hospital overnight. X-rays were negative.
Trevor Ariza, who fouled Fernandez, said he hoped the rookie from Spain wasn’t seriously hurt.
“It wasn’t anything I was trying to do,” Ariza said. “I wasn’t trying to hurt him. I was just trying to make a play on the ball.” [Y! Deportes]
It was a tough foul, but hardly a neck-brace-worthy foul. Sparty and Friends dug up some video; Ariza makes contact with the head and possibly grabs the left arm on the way down. See for yourself after the jump. After the game, Fernandez underwent a CT scan, and the verdict was a soft-tissue injury to the upper chest and side. That differs slightly from Dr. Punte’s diagnosis: acute blubbering vaginosis. Sissy.

Fernendez said after the game, Bopity boopy, bopity, bipity, boopy, boopy, bobity boopy, which is Spanish for “my head hurts”
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
See the part when Fernandez gets his head hit from behind? Yeah I’m thinking that is what made them use the neck brace. The whole, neck getting destroyed by the arm of another man would make me want a neck brace too. Quit sucking off the Lakers.
This has to be the first time that someone named “Trevor” actually hurt somebody.
Hey OJ…nobody is sucking off the Lakers. Except for the blonde in the Colorado hotel, if she knows what’s good for her.
Also…Fernandez is a faking crybaby Eurocunt.
Quit sucking off the Lakers? Coming from a guy that’s apparently been sucking off OJ for the last 15 years. Must be one of his prison butt buddy’s. Just like OJ, Ariza didn’t do it.
BiggieLaing apparently doesn’t understand satire. SHOCKER!
I think he ruptured some ovaries.
Nope, the shocker is what I give to your wife when you’re stocking OJ for his juice.
so many laker dick riders in here. really this article should have been about how the lakers got their asses handed to them in this game. and its no fluke, check the lakers’ record playing in portland.
+1 Rudy Fernandez… the player, not you… that’s some good acting. Maybe he moonlights with the Italian soccer team in the offseason.
