Mike and Mike are OUT? Same with 'Tone.

With his partying and solo boozing ways, I bet he's well on his way to being one of those broke former athletes our parents warned us about.

Now this idiot writes something on it. It's not a terrible article but I'm tired of this dude flip flopping. He's with the fans all of a sudden

 

Pretty much. The first changes they should of made should of been trying to get media dudes like John out of the city, not getting rid of mike and mike.

 

X__X

This feels like the Steve Patterson era.

 

Pretty crazy that this happened today. Was just talking about this possibility with my brother recently. I'm excited for whoever they choose as replacements as I was never all that fond of Mike and Mike. Funny bunch though, don't get me wrong! Change isn't a bad thing!

 

I was always like, "it's gonna be sad when mike rice retires" thinking mb would carry on without him with somebody else one day and here they are both getting fired out of no where. Weird

 

Boycott the Fan Fest. No posts about it. They don't give a shit about the fans. Its all about the money.

I'm going to engage less and less with the Blazers on social media and with their fan outreach. I'm just seeing them for what they are, a company selling a product. There is no family. There is no community. All of it is for the mighty dollar. Fuck this shit.

 

It's just wrong to treat mike and mike how they did. Now this is all about who they bring in because if they bring in two idiots and it feels fake, real Portland fans aren't gonna like it one bit. I feel like they are really trying to change the culture in a way and I'm not sure yet if this will be negative or positive. It's the way this was handled. Doesn't seem like mb or rice were warned of this or anything. Mb said he was blindsided by this. That's not how you treat these dudes who have been here for years and years. They really loved what they did too and they could tell. I loved the combination of them. It was perfect and yeah they weren't the best broadcasters but something about them to me as a Portland fan made them perfect to me. They deserve at least their own show or something. Give them something

 

Tone was solid.

I wonder who the candidates are.

 

The Mike's and Tone are canned days before the television deal is supposed to be settled.

What if the provider said that they would not pull the BS of the last contract by providing Blazer games to all outlets at a fair price but requested new guys in exchange?

 

Antonio Harvey was the worst. Cocky dude who never achieved shit in the NBA but talked like he did.... Feel bad for mike and mike though. They will be missed

 

As they say...

If it's not broke don't fix it.

 

"I hope our fans understand that we are trying to do this to improve this aspect of our organization," McGowan said. "We'll work hard to bring someone in that they can connect with and develop a relationship with. Hopefully they'll be open to a new perspective and new voice as they're watching our games."

Gee, Chris, I can almost hear similar words being said by the team in a few years about your job. Nothing personal. Just trying to improve that aspect of the team.

Doubt many people will care though.

 

Lol

It's a business dude. Seattle sports been overwhelming us with fucking Seahawks and Mariners crap for god knows how many years now. Let's expand our brand what's wrong with that

 

They fired Mike and Mike.

 

And Fuck Seattle.

 

I'm in the minority, but I've never been a big Barrett fan. I loved Rice though. At least we still have Wheels.

 

McGowan reminds me of Martin Shkreli.
