    Why have it during a TNT game? Hmmmm, wouldnt fans without Comcast want to actually watch the game on TV when they have the opportunity?
    I heart Comcast... fuck the Dish's! :)

    It doesn't affect me, but I empathasize with those who are in the dark, by choice or otherwise. I wonder what will happen if this season starts to spiral down the drain and the advertising dollars start to go away for Comcast.

    Agree! The rest of the shows on CSNNW suck! Trail Blazer games and the occasional college football game is all I watch. They need to step it up and have more local high school football on.

    Comcast is fucking awful compared to DirecTv its not even really comparable. I feel like a cheap whore when I'm forced to watch that garbage.

    I disagree. Comcast is not "fucking awful". In fact, I'm very happy with my TV, phone, and internet service.
    The only time I feel like a whore is when HCP's wife makes me rush out of the house because THE is coming home soon.

    Overpriced for lousy service and not nearly as many options. The only, and I mean only good thing about Comcast is the fact they have the Blazers. I phish the games online anyway so it doesn't really matter to me.

    Get over it.

    Get Comcast.

    If fans would have cared at the time the contract was done, this wouldn't be an issue. But, 99% of the viewers out there didn't give a rat's ass about the TrailBlazers and that's why the TrailBlazers had to beg Comcast to even televise their games.

    You've got idiots on this site bitching about this player or that player or that coach or this owner or G.M., and it's every idiot that's ever complained about any player/coach/owner/General Manager who is to blame for the Comcast/Trailblazer contract.

    If any of you who bitch about Comcast claim to have never complained about anything having anything to do with an employee of the Blazers, then you're just lying. If you cared that much and are that much of a positive person you wouldn't be bitching about Comcast. You can't have it both ways. So, just shut up and have your satellite Dish/whatever, or get Comcast and get over it.

    All of these whiners were the same people who were whining about the Blazers when they were the JailBlazers and refused to watch their games on TV back then or go to the games and pay to attend. Just a bunch of hypocrites.

    They had to "beg" Comcast to give them 120 million over 10 years?

    Yeah...ok.

    What the EFF is Kingspoint talking about anyway??? Comcast and the Blazers are being greedy little bastards. Anybody can recognize that. The regular fan that prefers the superior DirecTV system is getting screwed in this. DirecTV > Comcast

    I'm not whining I just think Comcast is a horrible product.

    I'd rather keep my DirecTv and just watch the games online from HD feeds, thank you very much.

    You can have fun with your lame ass comcast if thats what floats your boat.

    Sorry, I refuse to protest in the streets unless my civil liberties are threatened ... and even then it depends on the civil liberty ... and only if the protest doesn't conflict with my work schedule or my days off.
