Here is ford dissing our team again..this was in INSIDER on 8-5-02.
Q: Any reason why we are getting a daily Denver Nuggets update? Every day it seems they are either written about or featured in the peep show portion. This is one of the worst teams in the history of the league and I would dare say the least recognizable franchise in pro basketball. Are you from Denver or something? -- Matt Velthouse, Grand Rapids, Mich.
FORD: I'm not from Denver, but the point is well taken. The epic mini-series known as the Nuggets' coaching search has kept the team in the peeps for months. How bad have things gotten in Denver? Three NBA assistant coaches have withdrawn their name from consideration for the open head coaching position. When was the last time any NBA assistant coach passed up a chance to run his own show? It gets worse. On a popularity scale, the Nuggets rank somewhere below curling in Denver. A survey of ESPN.com users in Denver found that only four percent of sports fans in that city rank the Nuggets as their favorite local team. Only 40 percent of basketball fans in Denver rank the Nuggets as their favorite NBA team. That's right folks, a majority of NBA fans in Denver cheer for someone other than the Nuggets. Maybe we should take the hint?
Nuggets: Sorry Matt, another Nuggets update. Kentucky coach Tubby Smith became the latest to deny he has interest in the Nuggets' head coaching gig despite the fact that the Denver Post keeps naming him as a dark horse candidate. "I said I wasn't a candidate for any job; I'm still not a candidate," he told the Lexington Herald. "I don't know why they keep writing my name."
for one Tubby was never a real choice.....The only reason they are not staying in the race is they are getting better job offers at their current position...Donnie nelson being our #1 choice dropped out cuz he got a 100% increase on his pay, Jordan stayed with nets cuz he wants to coach there after scott is done from what he said, johnson dropped out cuz he has been in Utah to long and would rather rebuild there....

Maybe we should take the hint? I, for one, am quite happy that 40% of Denver apparently cheers for the Nuggets. It means that 60% are split (obviously not evenly) amongst 28 other teams. But we'll just ignore that fact to continue the nugget bashing. Chad Ford is an arseclown.

But we'll just ignore that fact to continue the nugget bashing. Chad Ford is an arseclown. That poll is garbage. I'm a basketball fan living in Denver and I never got polled. It's not accurate. And yes, I agree with you. Chad Ford is a major arseclown.

the stat i love the most is the one that reports that only 3% of people in colorado pick the nuggets as their favorite sports team (this stat is true) which obviously means 97% of people in colorado hate the nuggets ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)
