    Jeff Spicoli would be an amazing hire.

    "But he's so connected to the city."

    Bullshit, hated the hire from day 1. Never liked his attitude, how he presented himself. He's about money, and only money. He doesn't care about the city or it's fans. Fuck him.

    Barrett - certainly a homer but kind of the foundation part of the TV broadcast like Wheels was on the radio. Easy going, professional and certainly a 'Blazer' at heart. I did get a bit frustrated with his anticipation of calls in the Blazers favor over and over again when in just watching the refs hand signals, you knew he wasn't reporting the game correctly and soon there would be a correction followed by 'they say'. Still a big surprise.

    Rice - the crazy Uncle that made almost entertaining or frustrating depending on your vent. He couldn't pronounce player's names but yet would make some of the most hilarious comments that caused you to wonder what was in his water cup. Probably was nearing the end anyhow just due to longevity.

    Harvey - most fans seem to think this was the least objectionable and I've yet to see anyone come to a staunch defense of 'Tone'. Probably not too many losing sleep here.

    In his defense, that is just the business of the NBA today. Almost every arena has a sponsor and with the Blazers being smaller market, they need to make money any way they can. I still call it the Rose Garden anyhow.

    Nah, he's just boosting the resume to move on to the NFL. He'll be gone soon.

    Maybe we are the ones who are out of touch... Maybe the larger percentage of the fan base is tired of the old ways that we love.

    Well yeah; most CEOs are sociopaths. You can practically hear him giving a speech about Phil Cillins and late era Genesis just looking at him.
