    One championship down, one to go. I'm not a seahawk fan but I knew they'd crush denver. I'm happy for our owner. Maybe now that he got a taste of winning he'll pay what ever it takes for an NBA title.

    There's a superbowl thread in the OT section.

    He's been paying whatever it takes for the Blazers for a long time.

    Without money greasing our trades, this would be a dried up prune of a team, like the impoverished Sonics were in their last decade.

    Seahawks won and Richard Sherman got hurt... so I guess it's win/win.

    I'm really happy for Paul Allen, you just know that he's going to get so excited after finally winning a title that he will go $200 million over the NBA salary cap, buy us Lebron and a few other players.

    I hope they have some type of brief acknowledgement for Paul at a Blazer game soon. It is nice that he experiences the ultimate success after all these years.

    Congratulations to Paul Allen for being both rich and lucky. Congratulations to Warren Buffett for the same reason.

    Just killed any chance the Blazers had to win the title this year.

    No way the league allows a billionaire to win 2 major sports titles in a year. It would look too shady.

    But us being in the finals would be great for them, with the media hype, as long as we lost.

    I bet a Paul Allen designed super bowl ring is going to be amazing. Probably have lasers that shoot out of it and will transform into a Smart car at the push of a button. "Super Bowl Ring... more than meets the eye"

    (BTW rasheedfan, I edited the title. Normally I don't care about spelling, but the dude deserves his name spelled right tonight. ;) )

    This is why he can't have nice things.

    I wonder if there's a support group for people like him.... it would have Michael Vick, Antoine Walker, and MC Hammer.
