Mike and Mike are OUT? Same with 'Tone.

Fuck bringing in a Seattle guy

 

Maybe Kevin Durant wants to bring his own guys in.

 

What is everything though? Rose Garden to the Moda Center? That is about the only thing I know of. I'm asking.


So, I just spent an hour on the road tuned into Travis and the interview he got with Chris. I did not listen to the one at 2:45 or the first one. after listening to them, I am swayed a bit.
Yes it is disappointing, but these guys have had their time here. It would be nice to have a final goodbye game, but I also understand Chris when he says he doesn't like making decisions during the season when emotions run high. Makes sense and is logical to me. Assess the season, the long term direction they are trying to take the team and upgrade the broadcasting to match that direction.

I LOVE Mike and Mike, but I am willing to bet , they also understand it is a business and nothing lasts forever and they had a good stint here.

The real key is how the Blazers move forward.

 

I'm against a Seattle guy too, but if that's the path they're trying to go by bringing in Seattle fans then at least bring in a legend like him.

 

Might be a smart business move on some level, but part of me says "fuck that, we don't want Sonics leftovers and we don't need to cater to them." Maybe that's just me.

I live near Seattle and we had nearly every Blazer game on Comcast up here already. I hope whatever new deal is struck can still be something I can still watch up here. They need to get the dish stuff sorted out first though. My dad who lives in the Willamette Valley can only watch games that are on KGW, which is pretty shitty, because where he lives cable is not an option even if he wanted it.

 

Does Rice retire?

He's at that age...

 

Depends on who they get..... the ENTIRE WORLD views Portland as small and provincial. It's like one of those unwritten truths the fabric the the country is written on. What are they supposed to say?

"I ran into Fred Armisten at Voodoo Donuts the other day and Gus Van Zant was there...."

 

Yes please. We can make up for the loss of one Beaver (MB) with another.

Fuck Seattle fans too

 

The entire world sees San Antonio as a "large" market. If we keep winning I'm hoping we can be SA lite.

 

I'm wondering the same. I keep reading how awful he is, and what terrible things he has done. And I know of no "bad" thing other than stadium naming. Would love to hear more. The whining over this just sounds a lot to me like the whining of a lot of long time Portlanders over their city growing, and them not willing to accept it. Like the people that live near Division on the east side and cry about lack of parking. Like their home was so much better when it was just run down store fronts and porn theaters there.

 

don't forget Houston fans

 

I would have no problem with Calabro. He's a great commentator. If that's the plan then I understand why they did it, but I'm still not too thrilled.

 

I'd love to see Monty Williams doing Rice's job...he's got a lot of kids, single dad and just gave up an assistant coaching job. He's in a position where coming home to Portland and raising his family might be appealing.

 

I wonder if they asked Rice to go back to radio with Wheels but he declined.

 

He will join the TNT crew.

 

Id love it if @HCP put together a bittersweet video montage for Mike and Mike. I think we all would.

 

Based on?
