    Wow. I've been watching 1080 the Fan today with Isaac and Suke. Honestly, I love these guys. Its a great show, and they call it as they see it. Anyways, they get into a discussion about how Isaac used to work for CSN and he made some Twitter comments on his PERSONAL ACCOUNT about the team and how they were doing. Not everything was so positive (kinda like us here, huh?). Isaac even said that his boss admitted that he had done nothing wrong. Anyways, he ends up getting fired by CSN. Obviously, even though CSN is not a part of the organization, the Blazers have quite a control of content put out by them. That really sucks. From a fan standpoint, we should be able to hear all views on what's going on with the team. Be able to discuss both the positive, AND the negative. SO, it makes me wonder, how long until the hammer gets dropped here? How long until they move on to a more "candy coated" site like Blazers Edge? (IMHO-that place sucks just because of this....).

    As a side note- they discussed Jason Quick, and how they feel bad because he is getting throttled now that he is with CSN. Personally, I have never cared for Quick, and his negativity. He went overboard, to ruffle everyone and get those clicks. Well, not anymore.....

    I just watched the show, so I will see if I can find a link to post.

    Lol. Yeah, that's probably a good answer. I won't hold it against you, if you have to ban me....

    Denny has been working overtime lately, defending Olshey's signings from last summer. When S2 became the official Blazer board, he was ordered to change his allegiance from the Bulls. Kind of like when Hitler hoped that England would take his side. Makes you think of the Orwellian big picture around here. Is S2 a holographic swamp?

    I mentioned this a week or so ago and Ropp isn't the only one that has mentioned this....just the only one to do it this publicly. I completely believe that when Olshey's time here is up, you will hear a number of people with a suddenly different view then they are 'allowed' to give out now. Right not, the Blazers want a certain narrative and put vast pressure on those who don't fall in line.

    Neil also is one who holds a grudge I've been told and never lets anything go.

    Sounds like a soap opera....

    I noticed that Mike Barrett lost all of his commercial gigs after getting axed by the Blazers. I wonder if the Blazers had anything to do with that.

    When the time is right, SlyPokerDog will go in, clean up the FO mess, and save the day.

    Not sure if Denny is fixable?

    I mean, the only reason he had them was because he was the voice of the Blazers. It would seem odd to have "former play by play of the Blazers" as your spokesperson.

    You may not be able to say anything...but I'm going to make it clear...

    Neil needs to go. He has been here for 6 years and the team is worse off then when he took it over. I've been on record with much disagreement by a lot of you that he is very incompetent at what he does. His do things by default has hurt this team in many ways.

    And that comment is separate from the rest of this discussion, but a commentator getting let go and not getting commercial gigs in the city shouldn't be an issue.

    Go read about the mess that the Bulls are in. Neil is a prick to many people but is a total bro to the players. I don't have a problem with that.

    Sure. And that's like comparing Harry Carray to...whoever does Cubs games now.

    Calabro's agent would have written into the contract that Calabro gets any sponsorships that the Blazers had directed toward Barrett. Barrett's agent is on his own now, to get new commercial money for his client.

    After Bob Whitsitt replaced the great Bob Blackburn with Calabro, Blackburn showed up in a Seattle TV ad maybe once every 8 years.

    Could it be, maybe, that Ropp sucked?

    I wonder if it will be an Indianapolis Colts type situation. They just fired their GM, Ryan Grigson, and current and former players started talking shit about him and how horrible he was to work with. I had never really seen anything like it, and the more I hear about Neil on here and other places like Twitter, the more he sounds like a Ryan Grigson.
