While I applaud the end game, I fear that the Timbers fans would end up suffering the same fate the Blazers fans do.... argh!!
Sometimes I like watching Blazer Basketball and be proud of my Gardener and his replay ability. I trained him well
And that's why networks are dinosaurs - you have to fill air time with crap nobody wants to watch. Hopefully the Blazers will implement a direct-to-fans streaming service and bypass all the crappy networks/providers entirely. That's the only way I'll ever pay to watch the Blazers again (aside from a few game tickets each year). Back when the Comcast deal was struck I was still willing to pay Dish to get Blazer games - but not anymore!
and you think us as Blazer fans are obnoxious about it. Timbers fans are just as vocal but also organized
Hear I go again to bat for Comcast. Root covers Seattle/Washington based sports teams. You must be from Washington? Comcast is 100% Portland and Oregon. Good for them.
No, I don't live in Washington. And I don't care if it's from Toledo. The fact remains that Root plays Timbers, Beavers, and Mariners games. All teams that are apart of the NW. If Blazers were on the channel to, then that is a huge win for DTV subscribers. Comcast isn't 100% Portland and Oregon. The Sports NW division of whatever the fuck its parent company is though, and they currently have a monopoly on the Blazers, so fuck em.
ooh that makes me think of a fun idea. Lets play "Who was in the Blazers rotation the last time most of us could watch games"
Hmmmm ZBo for sure... Juan Dixon, Martell Webster, Jarrett Jack... Sebastian Telfair, Ha, Kryapa, Monia... Good times
LOL! Give me a break. If Comcast buys the rights to the Timbers broadcasts you guys would immediately be wanting the Comcast logo on the "kits".
I know you are giving me crap here, but I'll pretend its serious anyway.. Look up what happened when MLS tried to put a trademark to sponsor The Cascadia Cup, when it was owned by all 3 cascadia groups. We were dicks to them!
I have one great memory of Vik......... We had on off day in Cleveland and a bunch of people were at this fancy steakhouse. He walked in, sat down and said, (in and Ivan Drago accent) "If I sit with you.....I buy food and drink!" Great guy.
