I don't hate Canzano as much as some, I listen to his show a lot while driving, but his piece on KP in Sunday's O was not a good one. He quotes some bitter bottom-feeding Western Conference GM, saying basically "fuck KP and his moves". It was a terrible piece trying to squash what KP has done for this franchise.
I found it interesting that his article basically gave credence to the Blazers point, and contradicts what Canzano was saying earlier. So, par for the course I guess.
I think we should send him an email explaining his ethical duties as a journalist and if he crosses them this board will take him to court. That should shut him up . . .
That's because Harlan Ellison is an angry old man. Also, Canzano gets paid WAY too much for his hackery. If someone paid me six figures to write about local sports, I would do a way better job. I have a feeling the same could be said about many people on this board.
The problem with Canzano is that he actually has some talent. That said, his forte is to either kick people when they're down (even if he just praised them a week before) or to out & out lie. So he'l go article after article being a liar and kicking people and then, poof, he will write an excellent article. About one per month. It's a shame that he totally wastes his talent.
Canzano would be a good human interest columnist if he stuck to that and only that. The problem is when he tries to write articles about the NBA with actual NBA facts but butchers those facts then doesn't own up to them (or discreetly changes his blog without admitting his mistakes).
I saw it as an indictment on the level of business acumen that KP's competitors possess compared to the Blazer GM.
I want him to get out of town he is bad for the BLAZERS and a negative image to good reporters everywere
The angriest little man in literature. My neighbor across the street from me looks and sounds exactly like him.
