@Mediocre Man be nice to @HCP, picking on him is about as difficult as Barry Bonds swinging at a pinata.
Well I definitely wouldn't call him a journalist. That's for sure. He's as far away removed from Thomas Boswell or T.J. Simmers as you could fucking get. But, maybe mediocrity sees nothing above itself, so in that case, Canzano sees all.
I'm always nice to The HCP. Just not as nice as I am to Mrs HCP. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Just not for me.
How did this thread become about Clownzano? He's entitled to write his opinions, no matter how unsupported by anything other than his opinion they may be. We're now 24 pages into a thread discussing what's going to happen to the Blazers now that Paul Allen is gone. We have absolutely no idea what provisions he may have made for the handling of the transfer of ownership after his death, but given his love for the team and his knowledge of how serious his health situation was, I have a hard time believing that there isn't a plan in place and wheels in motion to execute it. Given how much commitment he made to keeping the Blazers in Portland when it would have been so much to his personal advantage to have them in Seattle while he was alive, I have an equally hard time thinking that he didn't have that consideration covered as well. I guess we're just going to have to wait and see how things pan out in the next few weeks.
I am guessing that Silver will address the league's current position on the Portland ownership situation along with somebody representing the team. Probably within the next couple of days. It really doesn't make any sense why they wouldn't. It's a hot stove issue at the current time.
Agree. However, the ownership rules of the NFL prohibited him from moving the Blazers to Seattle even if he wanted to. It was never an option for PA.
Probably. But I'm guessing they want to give his passing a little more time than 30 hours before bringing up the Blazers and Seahawks.
Is it really a hot stove issue or are there just a few people freaking out about something that isn't going to happen?
The press is probably going to try to make it one even if it isn't. He'll get asked about it at some point.
Hmm, excellent point. I guess my theory doesn't hold up to the light of day. I'll pass that off as a result of a late flight last night and lack of sleep.
