    Because, they are changing TV networks to bend over backwards for possible fans in Washington and Alaska and now local Oregon fans like me can't watch the games unless we go back to Comcast. That feels pretty alienating.

    I love the idea of Calabro and Hurd again. But I want to thank Jordan For stepping in and giving it his all. Great professionalism and spirit during the Blazer Broadcast made for a lot of fun. I wish him, and his family all the best, and hope he gets a new gig soon. Blessings Jordan.

    Hulu has live sports. You can get Root with any firestick or Roku.

    Calabro is a HoF broadcaster. If he wants to come back to Portland, I think it makes a lot of sense.

    I thought Kent actually did pretty well, and given his lack of experience doing play by play, I think he did exceptionally well. With that being said, cutting one's teeth at the highest level is rough, and I get why the Blazers would make the move (even if it surprises me).

    As a quick aside: I'm delighted the Blazers are going to ROOT. I needed to pay extra for Comcast Sports NW, for some reason, and don't need to for ROOT, so it'll make it more likely (and cheaper) that I'll be able to watch games without streaming them from shady websites :)

    I agree Calabro is more suited for radio IMO

    i never heard word but that makes sense.

    like many have said of Kent, standup respectable person, but KC is much better.

    Since i moved back to Colorado, i'm going to have to get League Pass, but i would love to get Root here. I have Hulu, but can't access watching the Rockies. I know some would say, that's a lucky break, but i love watching them anyway. Still hope to finally get back to the Rose City. Eugene was a dead end for me, both financially & health wise as a severe allergy induced asthmatic.

    Seattle fans were more important when they fired both mikes. MB should still be our dude.
