    Combine all of those things and it looks like you are trimming down in preparation for a sale of the team, but Jody says the team is not for sale.

    Yeah, it makes the organization look like a bit of a circus.

    This reminds me of the scene in "Moneyball" where the players have to pay for their own soda in the clubhouse.

    Sadly, a good many sports team owners are people of dubious values. I don't defend bad behavior when a woman does it, but I do think women's behavior is more scrutinized.

    Yeah....i don't think that matters in a lot of these cases. I think it is just as much about power and selfishness.

    It's because she's listening to the advice of Vulcan and Kolde, and this is what Vulcan and Kolde do.

    Could be? I don’t know her at all and I won’t know her so I’m gonna leave the judgement to those that do.

    If folks are going to boycott wealthy playboys and cougars and sugar daddies they will have to stop watching a lot of movies, listening to a lot of music and cheering for most sports franchises....I think Jody not being stereotypical beauty doesn't get the pass that May West or Madonna get in the aggressive women category. Warren Beatty, The Beatles, Elvis, hell a lot of folks who entertain you all throughout your life have histories of sexually active private lives....until they rape someone against their will or cross a line without consent...then that's a part of life that always has been prevalent amongst privileged celebrities. I read that her two head of security guards claims of smuggling, bribery and sexual harrasment were unsubstantiated by the courts. She was never convicted of a crime....the two security guards got a sizeable bankroll to go away. Paul paid them off...not Jody.

    And at a point in my life I was wanting to slow down a bit actually. Frustrating part of being a freelancer.

    It's bullshit sir! You put together great replays and shouldn't have to piece yourself out. Fuck this organization and what it's forcing you to do. At the same time, keep fighting because in a world that lacks any simbalance of balance (I'm not any sort of Marxist) you have to fight. Good luck and I'm sorry that capitalism isn't rewarding you for your merits the way it should. True free market capitalism rewards hard work, expertise and value to the public. These frivolous decisions don't seem to regard those principles.

    If you hadn’t gathered already, your FAMS are worried about you.

    We don’t like the decision but it makes it even worse when it hurts family.

    I gotta hear this interview. Chad isn’t going to soft ball him either.

    At this point with all this negative publicity. It’s pretty clear the Blazers will not go through with these changes imo

    I'd wager that you are in the minority around here especially. I think Blazer fans in general have historically been comprised of more "die hards" than "casuals" which is what makes this fanbase different than a lot of teams.
