    Left click his user name, then select "view user profile" and it'll take you to his profile. On the middle left side there will be a "users list" and select the drop down of "add user to your ignore list."

    The only way you will see him now is if someone quotes him or you select to view his post. I believe there is a firefox plugin that allows you to block anything he does - but it'd include blocking/hiding his created threads so you may miss some good commentary from other users.

    I don't think any of us know except the like two people who alluded to it. We'll have to wait for them to have time or them to stop enjoying the mystique of making cryptic comments. :devilwink:

    I feel like there is a lot we don't know, and I wish someone would let us in.

    Doesn't that suck when you come back from your vacation more tired than when you left? Wherever you went, I hope you and your family had a good time.

    Something happened, and we will probably never know what it was. We will however get some interesting speculation from our local media I am sure.

    From http://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA

    Two officials who spent time in last 10 days with Port GM Kevin Pritchard and fired No 2 guy, Tom Penn, spoke of "awkwardness" and "tension"

    League sources have been describing unrest in front office for months, centered on Pritchard's inability to get new contract after Penn did.

    Pritchard helped Penn leverage Port with Minny job, and sources say GM expected he could get new deal too. Ownership declined, emphatically.

    Many believed Penn was destined to run team, but clearly something caused momentum to change lately and Penn lost favor. And his job.

    Well, if it was KP versus TP, I'll take KP.

    I distrust Woj when he says anything about KP, or Portland for that matter.

    It just wouldn't seem right without any drama.

    Indeed! He "could have been the GM for the Wolves" but the Blazers no doubt begged him to stay? This "after" not playing Raef's expiring contract to the benefit of the team.

    So what does this leave us to assume?

    I say, he was (again?) meeting secretly with another team - which is no doubt against his contract. There was evidence or proof of this taking place...and he got fired over it!

    Which means, we have not heard the end of the tale!

    Fuck it.... Let's make Woj the new GM, Canzano the new President of Operations, and Dwight Jaynes the coach. See how long the team stays afloat. We could take bets.
