Anyone listen to the Kenny vs Wheels stuff today on the game? Wheels is sounding like a company PR man...
I have another rule which is much more accurate than any of them I have seen posted above. Rule: Too much of any intoxicants will make you sick.
Henry at TrueHoop has him as Paul Canzano. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/14378/first-cup-thursday-98 That whole national visibility thing ain't workin' out so good when one of the biggest Blazer fans in the world doesn't even get your name right. "John who? Oh you mean that Paul douche."
It must be frustrating to be Jason Quick. He clearly wants to be a feature writer or even an editorial columnist. Yet he's stuck as the beat writer. How many people stay so long on one beat?
It was just more irritating to me than it ever has been in the past. Most of the time I kind of get a feeling whether people believe the crap they're peddling for their employer...today it sounded defensive...
Remember, Canzano hung Quick out to dry with the whole "Coach Iavaroni" thing. JC convinced JQ that it was true, and JQ ran with the untrue story. It occurs to me that the reason behind Canzano "scooping" this whole thing rather than Quick might be Quick no longer trusting JC as an independent source...
I only heard 10 minutes of it and it was most definitely NOT worth your time. Basically it was just them debating the perceived legitimacy of all the random theories about TP that everyone already has said 100 times...I didn't hear anything interesting.
You're right. I listened to the podcast and he was being a complete knob about things with KV -- very dismissive and belittling to somebody who used to cover the team on a daily basis for the O
The thing most irritating to me was Wheels digging into who the anonymous sources were... I thought that would be a definite "no-go" zone amongst journalists because they know how valuable sources are and how important it is to not "out" them... I got what he was going for, essentially that KV/Canzano's sources weren't close enough to the situation to know exactly what happened...but still it was irritating... I think all this intrigue has created some fun tension between the various local columnists / announcers / etc. that would be best solved in a no holds barred steel cage match.
