Back in March, Blazer Channing Frye used his blog to disparage the city of Sacramento and its entertainment opportunities for the discerning NBA player. The backlash was swift, but Frye kept a good spirit about it and offered to keep an open mind on his next visit.

His next visit reaffirmed his beliefs, as he told the Sacramento Bee he was appalled by his excursion into a downtown movieplex.

"For real, there was a rat and a homeless man (in the theater)," Frye said.

Frye will be no doubt pleased to know that Sacramento is addressing its film-buff rat problem, closing two theaters because of rodent infestations. These theaters are not near the area NBA teams usually stay ... which means there are anecdotally three Sactown theaters with rat problems.

Thanks for the heads up, Channing. Anything else we should look into? See any rabid squirrels in the hotel lobby? (Seriously, Channing's doing more politically for the city of Sacramento than Kevin Johnson!)
