Here is a stunningly inept report that describes Patrick O'Bryant as being "out of Rhode Island"-

QUESTION (Re: the article that says POB is from Rhode Island):

How come these guys use the word "LONG" so much?
In the paragraph about LaMarcus Aldridge, they use the word "long" about twice in every sentence, but...
whatever criteria you use, Patrick O'Bryant is longer (but they don't call him long). He is taller, he has a longer wingspan, a higher reach, and longer arms and legs. So tell me why they seem to only use the word "long" in reference to severely skinny tall kids?

Instead of "long" what they should be saying is "skinny".
