    Yes it is. When you own a company and someone rubs you the wrong way.......you are gone.
    It happened to me. .....I am sure that is no surprise to some of you. LOL

    I like KP, and this feels very wrong. Him getting fired would fucking suck I think.

    Re: 2pm KP and Larry Miller Press Conference

    I'm with you on this one.

    KP got wrapped up in this mess because of his agent and Canzano. Rumors fly. KP comes out says rumors are wrong, I'm happy to be here, Tom was a good friend who was fired for philisophical differences, these things happen, don'tknow if I'll be here next year, let's focus on the team.

    I think he said all the right things to save his job . . . but maybe I heard something different . . . only heard it on the radio.

    he said the things he'd obviously have to say to have any chance of saving his job...but it sounded clear to me that unless something very unexpected happens he's gone...

    Camby for Outlaw/Blake is an example of bringing Pritchard down? They need to band together tighter, 'cause what they're doing now isn't working.

    Re: 2pm KP and Larry Miller Press Conference

    Why? I mean that seriously, what did I miss. I didn't catch Miller's interview, something he said indicates KP is gone.

    All I heard from the interview is a GM who has been humbled. He didn't like the Penn move. He pouted. Then he came to his senses and gave an interview he had to give to save his job.

    So what did I miss?

    Re: 2pm KP and Larry Miller Press Conference

    Penn and Pritchard were so close that they even shared an agent. If Pritchard was so upset about being dragged into this out of the blue (which I find preposterous, anyhow), then he should have already fired LaGarie. That didn't happen. Somebody in the organization wants Pritchard out, and firing Penn could have been done to make Pritchard resign instead of having to pay him for next season.

    What a fucking mess.

    Re: 2pm KP and Larry Miller Press Conference

    Quick on 95.5 just said that he thinks if KP is fired Nate quits on the spot. That's something pretty big to assert, especially from Quick.

    Re: 2pm KP and Larry Miller Press Conference

    Why? He wasn't "dragged" into anything, obviously. This rift didn't just happen out of the blue, and the fact that the Blazers tried to smear Penn by saying he lied about a Minnesota offer, and then never acknowledging that they were not telling the truth, confirms it in my mind.

    A power play is going on right now in this organization. Paul Allen needs to step up and tell those assholes in Seattle to go play golf or something.

    Re: 2pm KP and Larry Miller Press Conference

    So the Blazers try to play hardball with Roy's extension and Pritchard tries to help the guy out??? Sounds like a stand up move by KP. You don't fuck with your franchise player. How many businesses do you know where you're paid more than your boss? There is no fucking reason in hell that Mcmoron should be getting paid more than KP. I'd be pissed too. Unless there are some other huge details that haven't been said, I think he's getting the shaft with no lube.
