    I wonder if Paul Allen is developing early-onset dementia. He'll probably fire Olshey days before the draft and replace him with a wax figure of Elvis (citing a desire to connect with the fans), then be found in the bowels of the Moda Center, drooling in his undies and talking to a mop. Scary stuff. I hope his handlers get him help before he converts the Rose Quarter into a Microsoft themed art gallery or Seahawk nature reserve. Maybe an auto body shop as well, who knows. Cause he's c-c-crazy! Hopefully his next move is relatively harmless, like insisting they serve only kale and milk at all concession stands, or not allowing anyone with an age divisible by 10 to attend home-games.

    I can see PA moving the team to Vegas and going all Howard Hughes, living in the top floor of Circus Circus.

    First it sounded like they are still interviewing. Now McGowan claiming we will approve. Who they hell can they bring in that will have better banter than the Mikes?

    Brandon Roy?

    Chris Kaman?

    Dikembe Mutumbo?

    This makes that meet and greet with Rice and Schonz all the more memorable. We are lucky to have gotten to hear two of the Blazers great announcers speaking together like that.

    If this Chris fucker thinks we are gonna like the new guys then who could it be? Honestly. Mike and mike set the bar, they will have to bring in Brandon Roy and Rasheed Wallace for me to care. Mike and mike being fired is depressing man. Gonna miss them

    Getting laid off/fired sucks. Especially when there is no logical reason for it for you to lean on. They did a good job, were popular and seemed to be good company men. That would be tough for anyone

    I just really hope it's not a Seattle guy. Portland is not a south Seattle suburb. I really hope the front office has enough of a clue to get the pulse of this city

    Was thinking the same thing

    He'd be on the road too much to care for his kids.

    Dude. We still have each other. Come over. I'll make you feel better.

    And I'm with MM. Why Roy?

    Brandon Roy. LOL.

    Have you heard his voice? I'd end up sticking six inch spikes through my ear canals.

    I'm not sure why most people bring up Roy's name (although I have my theories as to why BGD does...and it involves medications). Roy would be a horrible choice for anything. He showed no real skill for being an on air talent. None.

    Same with Rasheed.

    If the team is just pandering to fans and brings back Brandon Roy (or something similar) then they've shown they have no real clue as to what the fans want or makes them fans. It would feel as though John Nash and Patterson are back running things.

    Maybe we should give them a chance to hire new people before we burn our memorabilia and watch the team move to Seattle or Vegas.
