Via HoopsHype, the Portland Tribune's Kerry Eggers updates us on Zach Randolph's latest visit to Rip City on May 31.Zach was out enjoying himself at Ohm nightclub when, at 1:30 a.m., police responded to a 911 call about a disturbance.Aah, Z-Bo. How the police officers of Portland missed you. How Portland has missed you. It seems worth nothing the reason why Z-Bo was in Portland: he had a May 30 court date for a January incident where a man alleged Zach and old buddy Qyntel Woods beat him up for snitching about Qyntel's dog situation. (Randolph settled, Eggers surmises.)
"We were told Zach showed up with an entourage and got into a disagreement with a known gang member and drug dealer," Mike Reese, central precinct commander for the Portland Police Bureau, tells the Portland Tribune's Nick Budnick.
When police arrived, the scene at Ohm "looked like an old western barroom brawl, with chairs and tables being thrown around ... the bar was trashed," Reese says. Police emptied out the remaining patrons and shut down the club.
No word on whether Z-Bo punched anyone in the airport terminal, the McDonald's drive-thru, in the hotel lobby, at the precinct, or anywhere else.

Maybe there is just something in the air in Portland that causes these problems. After all, these players leave and do fine in other cities.

Why doesn't Randolph show this kind of aggression and passion on the court?

yeah. no player (j.r. ahem) has been in trouble in l.a., no player (damon) ever got caught with herbs in another airport, no player (ahem kemp) ever was busted for weed in houston. it goes on. just sayin, don't blame the city for the idiots that were brought in a few years ago. nobody gets into trouble anymore. the thug crap just doesn't go down well in portland. they aren't in awe of 6'8 millionares who don't tip. call them realists.
