Mike and Mike are OUT? Same with 'Tone.

I had to walk around for a good hour. I'm fucking pissed.

 

Shit dude, I'm still in denial.

WTF just happened?? Did it happen?!? Is this real life!?!?!?!

 

I know a couple handfuls of seattle nba fans. They still follow okc from afar (even though they are still fucking pissed about it) but most of them just became "nba" fans. They dont give a shit about the blazers and still talk mad shit about them.

 

Allen's thinking has got to be "look there's not NFL franchise in Portland, but there are Seahawks fans there!". He's hoping for the same magic with the Blazers and Seattle. I mean their fans are pretty fucking non-commital and bandwagon.

 

I'm willing to bet (not literally Kingspeeed) that the Blazers "Corporate jersey sponsor" is going to be a Seattle Company.

 

Starbucks?

 

If the Blazers front office had a problem with commemorating two beloved, long time announcers then fuck them.

 

Boeing

 

They just upgraded everything in Portland...they're not moving to Seattle..I'm glad to see fans from Alaska to China make the Blazers their team. I know it's a weird day with them making a big sweep of long time personalities but let's not sell the farm quite yet, eh?

 

Starbucks, Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, Nordstrom who the hell knows. The Nordstrom dude tried to bring a team back to Seattle, might be saving a place in line if Allen sells the team in the future.

 

adidas

 

Coffee People?

 

I just hope the replacements are known, high energy, and fun to listen to (aka homerish).

 

Paul Allen does have a good relationship with the Nordstrom brothers.

 

Sure. If the goal is to appeal to the California transplants, and turn their back on the life-long Blazers fans, it's possible McGowen is well on his way to accomplishing that.

 

I don't think the NBA will allow that. Maybe Portlands largest dispensary?

 

McGowan mis-pronounced "sycophants".

 

I really don't understand this decision. Being 24 and basically going my whole life listening to these guys and out of no where, no warning or nothing, they just get thrown out as if they did nothing for this franchise. Mike and mike aren't the best out there but for the real people who love Portland and the team, this is devastating. I just don't understand it. Makes no sense. Doesn't help that this Chris dude looks like a dude straight from the purge, dumb little fuck. Now this all depends on who they get. If they get two lames, I will be even more upset. I'm not gonna overreact though. It is what it is, it's just a shitty decision though in my opinion. To quote mike rice on this one, "my tooth hurts!"

 

Ron Tonken

 

He passed away and famously jumped off the bandwagon too during the jailblazer era.
