Tweeted this: @magnifier661: Day 2 of "where is the celebration party for the retirement of @jwquick" I think I'll tweet every day. Portland will be a better place when that hack retires.
He insinuated this on a tweet, when he called me a boner. He said he is going to miss boners like me.
I don't read his stuff, but it bothers me that he keeps harassing Blazer players in order to look like he's legitimate.
Unlike Canzano, who is an egomaniac and transparent shit-stirrer, Jason Quick is a smart guy, knows his hoops, knows the Blazers, and is a good writer. I know, I know, the contrarian opinion.
I think he's gotten a lot better as the years have gone on.... plus he writes less since he stopped being the beat writer.
I haven't read him as much the past couple of years because there are so many easier and quicker ways to get Blazer news. It must be frustrating for him, however. Clearly he wants to move from beat writer to features or editorials, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards for him.
