    The man never stops self promoting... if I liked him, it might not irritate me quite as much. I was listening to his show while I was sitting in traffic yesterday, and he was giving some speech about how he can accept mistakes from the people who work under him, but when HE makes mistakes, it makes him sick to the stomach. He was also listing off a bunch of other crap about working with him. Anyone else catch it?

    No. Canzano is a complete waste of time.

    Speaking of those trumpets and Canzano bringing them up, here's an old video of the TV opening. Ah, the memories... even that guy's voice in the end.

    edit: Rep to anyone who can ID the Blazers in the video.

    I can't decide which is worse, his column or his show ... too close to call.

    IIRC, I caught Ramsey, Coop, Natt, Culp, Paxson, Valentine, Carr, Bucky.... (Audie, as well?)

    Hate him though some of you may, I feel indebted to him for providing this mp3 so that I can have this theme on my phone. Canzano rocks!

    Somewhere between 1984-1986, I would guess,

    You would guess wrong then. Natt and Cooper were traded in 84 And as there is no footage of Clyde Drexler.

    I would guess 82-83, because of who looks Kenny Carr.

    I love the fanfare, but I'm not sold on the new alternate versions that they've been playing on the tv broadcasts. The "country Blazers theme" in particular made me wince.

    Yeah I agree... they're very lame. Why try to update or modernize something when it's not needed? I wish they would use the old theme with highlights of today, or blend old highlights into new using the theme.

    :check: It was the collection of Kenny, Coop, Calvin and Audie as well as Pax's porn stache that gave away the year.

    Do you have the link for the mp3? In that article, I never caught the original name of the song or who played it.

    How cool would it be for the Blazers to have a live horn performance of the song at the opening playoff game with some highlights rolling on the big screen.
