I was second team all-state tourney as a junior, and I missed a layup at the end of regulation in the semi-finals game that year that would have won it for us, and we ended up losing in OT. Anything else you wanna know? Ed O.
I could for LITERALLY one week as a freshman in college. I turned my ankle in IMs and was never able to again. I could dunk a volleyball before and after that week for about a year on either side, but a men's basketball, I only had a week. Sad but true That, needless to say, was a long time ago. Ed O.
To make this more legit, you have to name drop atleast two pseudo-celebrities that you've rubbed elbows with during your tumultuous basketball career. Justin Bieber doesn't count
I heard that The Game will soon air Dan Patrick live from 6-9 and move Chad to the mid day/afternoon.
I just happened to stumble upon this thread. I miss listening to Dan Patrick, but to reiterate what was stated earlier, beginning in September, Dan Patrick will be aired live on 750 followed by Rome, then Canzano moves to 12-3, then Chad will go against Ropp and Suke. From what I hear, The Fan wanted to renew with DP, keep him in his time slot and add a new local show from 1-3, but DP's people wanted 3x the money from the last contract, hamstringing the fan. A friend of mine who works at entercom was telling me that when the PD at the fan said they couldn't do it DP's people (now directv) said they were a tv show, and didn't care if they were on in Portland anymore. I'm curious to know what 750 ended up paying DP, they certainly have the money for it after cutting half their staff, and losing the Blazers. As far as Travis and Wilcox are concerned, sometimes it's really tough to listen to Josh. He is getting better, and I just hope for their sake that he gets better... he has to, right? Travis is great to listen to, he's not a homer for any of the local teams, and I like his perspective. They could use a little more entertainment, and be a little less sportsy sometimes. I do like Chad a lot in the mornings, even if he tries too hard to be Jim Rome Jr. I'm disappointed there won't be local mornings anymore.
Interesting. I think it's hilarious if Canzano gets moved to the 12-3 time slot. That can't be a move up. Hopefully it means the beginning of the end for the bald faced douche.
It's interesting to see this thread again. I will gladly admit that Wilcox is getting better, and the chemistry between he and Travis has improved as well. I was mortified at first but they have made some significant strides. I still think Wilcox is definitely an improving poor man Suke, but as solid and professional Travis is - he aint Ropp. Putting CIP against Primetime is a very interesting move. I actually have a lot of respect for CIP. Think about all the different versions and variations of that show. All the different hosts, co-hosts, formats. The only thing that remained the same is CIP. Now he does the show basically by himself and has done so for quite some time. He's laid off the Rome schtick quite a bit and he gets pretty personal with regard to his son who has autism and isn't afraid to take the show in a non-sports direction. That will make him ideal against Primetime. I fucking love radio.
^ I agree, T & W have gotten better. I think Travis is good. I'll have to give CIP a listen. I gave up on him over a year ago and havent listened since.
When I heard the new 750 lineup, I thought of this post... exactly what we were all expecting. DP Live, then Rome, Canzano and then Chad. I've stopped listening to berger, and lately Travis and Wilcox sound MUCH better, but Josh didn't sound very educated when breaking down this weekend's football games outside of the ducks. I may go against my better judgement and flip over to JC from time to time.
I don't think Chad stands a chance against Primetime unless they decide to bring Matt Brock in full-time. Chad and Brock could give Primetime a run, but chad by himself, sadly, cannot IMO. And I like Chad. He's gotten much better. Primetime are my boys. Tough to beat. Put Brock next to Chad and they have a chance.....
I agree, Chad is fine, but his wacky fm dj schtick won't work in pm drive. I think Brock does a great job with football, but I don't think he can keep up when it comes to the NBA and the Blazers. Come December the first head to head book with the new lineups should be interesting, that's for sure.
