    But could there be a buyout with Comast and the Trail Blazers if the Blazers choose a new TV partner and the new partner wants to start this season? That's what I'm hoping for. Then I can cancel my Comcast ASAP and sign up with DirectTV.

    If a nationally-known voice like Calabro was hired as a transitional voice to a non-traditional carrier model, I could get behind this.

    I'm hoping that Netflix will finally take the jump into live sports.

    This sucks.

    Anyway, who might be the replacements? I hope the color commentators are former Blazers. Are there any former blazers providing color commentary anywhere right now?

    Why would Calabro come here? Would he give up his NBA/ESPN radio job for Portland? I'm not sure that's a realistic option.

    When we're down big, Wheels sounds like the world is about to end. I'm already bummed that we're losing, I don't need to hear Wheels say "Aminu takes a three.... *sigh*..... miss."

    Yup. It's extremely frustrating to listen to.

    Yes, the Mike's were "imbedded" with the team, and so not "impartial". That's a good thing, for the fans.

    Despite their partiality, The Mikes showed far less actual "bias" than most broadcast teams I've seen. They were actually willing to laugh and admit when the replay showed they were wrong. And I like that.

    I will miss them.

    They? As in the fans who haven't seen a Blazer game since the Bush administration?

    Sad to see Mike Rice leave. He was a nice bridge back to Schonz. MB and Tone, I think they can probably find better.
