http://www.draftexpress.com/blog/Jared-Reiner/Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:19:01 EST I have always been told to keep things in perspective and realize that sometimes the good times aren’t that great and the bad times aren’t really that bad. Sure hope the latter is true for our situation here in Germany. http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Just-part-of-the-Journey-3179/ http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Just-part-of-the-Journey-3179/ Tue, 14 Apr 2009 10:13:20 EST On a Monday the 15th I found out that my services were needed in Europe. On that Tuesday afternoon I traveled for roughly twenty hours to Germany. On that Friday, I went through two fun-filled practices with some serious jetlag. On Saturday, I played surprisingly well against my former team considering I had the biggest case of noodle-legs ever. On Sunday morning, I boarded another flight back to the states for a four day Christmas break. On Christmas Day, I flew back to Germany. http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Awake-or-Not-3069/ http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Awake-or-Not-3069/ Tue, 30 Dec 2008 23:34:27 EST Hunting with firepower out in South Dakota is what I did after Philadelphia released me. I had called my brother Matt to inform him that my wandering in Philadelphia was over, so he offered his condolences in the form of a hunting trip. He did warn me that there wouldn’t be a Starbucks within a hundred miles, though. Much obliged, I headed west. http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Not-a-Starbucks-within-a-hundred-miles---3040/ http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Not-a-Starbucks-within-a-hundred-miles---3040/ Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:40:29 EST Explaining what it is like trying to make a NBA roster on a non-guaranteed contract produced the aforementioned comment from one of my friends. http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Hey-Guys,-Can-I-Play-3007/ http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Hey-Guys,-Can-I-Play-3007/ Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:12:27 EST Walking out of the gym after a playoff game, I heard the traditional pounding of the Freak’s drums. At least 100 ‘Freaks’ had formed a tunnel leading up to our team bus, and were waiting for autographs and pictures. The weird thing is that we had just got upset and we were headed home for good. They were still there acting like we had hung the moon. http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Jared-Reiner-Tribute-to-The-Freaks-of-Freak-City-2907/ http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Jared-Reiner-Tribute-to-The-Freaks-of-Freak-City-2907/ Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:47:18 EST (Jared Reiner's Blog) If any one out there knows Hulk Hogan please tell him that I found the only other person worldwide that still wears Zubaz pants. This cat also has a mullet but I will let that go since he wears it well. http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Say-Your-Prayers.--Eat-Your-Vitamins,-and-Throw-Away-Your-Zubaz/ http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Say-Your-Prayers.--Eat-Your-Vitamins,-and-Throw-Away-Your-Zubaz/ Fri, 09 May 2008 10:36:00 EST A lot has changed since my last blog. I am now playing for Brose Baskets in Bamberg, Germany, and enjoying basketball again. To say it without saying it, a change of scenery was definitely needed… http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Jared-Reiner-A-Much-Needed-Change,-and-NO-need-for-the-Police…/ http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Jared-Reiner-A-Much-Needed-Change,-and-NO-need-for-the-Police…/ Mon, 10 Mar 2008 03:30:19 EST Imagine that you are sitting at a restaurant in an old boat on the Mediterranean Sea, enjoying a relaxing meal of Paella, a traditional Spanish dish. You are taking in the seventy-degree weather while catching up on old times. The moment is suddenly broken by the sound of a piece of octopus being spit across the table. You look at your wife, who looks to your mom, who then scolds the laughing culprit. No, a toddler wasn’t trying a new food, it just means that one of your brothers is in town. http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Jared-Reiner-Big-Dog-Goes-Global-2434/ http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Jared-Reiner-Big-Dog-Goes-Global-2434/ Sat, 05 Jan 2008 01:41:41 EST So I am in Leon, Spain and I walk up to the hotel clerk. I ask if I can buy Internet for my room and swear that I hear him say my name. The rat gets on the wheel in my head and I realize that we just checked in and he doesn’t know what room I am in. How can he know my name? http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Jared-Reiner-Blog-Part-Two-2379/ http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Jared-Reiner-Blog-Part-Two-2379/ Thu, 06 Dec 2007 19:17:11 EST OK, let?s be honest. I am from South Dakota, and went to the University of Iowa, so you probably don?t know who I am. If you do, you are family, a close friend, or you chose me in a NBA Fantasy Draft and then finished last in your pool. http://www.draftexpress.com/article/An-Introduction...-2278/ http://www.draftexpress.com/article/An-Introduction...-2278/ Tue, 23 Oct 2007 00:19:32 EST
