What Pritchard must've done to deserve this

Keep calling people "chief" instead of by their name.

Do not care how good of a GM he was, that is annoying.

 

You're just a layman, though. Your word is cloaked with ignorance. Plus, he didn't toss out criticism about Nate, so you're also a liar.

Try harder?

 

Definitely worth firing him over. Odd that you would pick today to go on a posting binge...

 

7) Boinking Blazer cheerleaders.

 

They (management) didn't seem to mind when Kevin Duckworth was boinking her. She quit the squad at the time Duck was still playing (and a few years after he left the team) and did once again she got with KP.

 

The articles say that Pritchard was snickering to other GMs that he's worth more than McMillan, while complaining that he's underpaid at $800K. We already know that Nate makes $5M.

SMILE when you call me a liar. Where I come from, you lose your horse and I move onto your spread for that.

 

You lied, or at least stretched the known truth. Prove your claim that Prtichard badmouthed Nate, other than soem "articles" that I haven't read saying so.

Or, is the clown show your act here?

 

I think he counting the woj articles which is the only source pushing that view of kp.

 

It's just a weird thought that KP will only be associated with the Blazers for eight more days!

 

Well let's compare your evidence to mine over whether Pritchard criticized McMillan. Wojnarowski gives quotes from GMs and staff. Also, before the Penn firing, other writers had reported a rift. But your articles (which say Woj is wrong) admit that your articles are just opinion pieces. Actually, you have no articles--they are message board posts. In fact, when your writers try to get quotes from Blazer bosses to refute Woj's articles, all Blazer bosses refuse to contradict his articles. So Woj has quotes and you have none, despite your side's trying very hard to get some. Articles on your side admit they are just speculation. They try hard to get Blazer boss quotes to establish facts in order to launch themselves above mere conjecture, but they fail because obviously, Blazer bosses are saying through their silence that Woj is right. When Pritchard admits his job is up for grabs, he basically endorses the credibility of the Woj articles. Ed O, do you really want to stick to your story that this thing is Woj's invention? I just now checked in a search engine and saw a few like this from before Penn was fired.

Here is Wojnarowski himself, July 11.

Here is Woj, March 22. By now, many had been writing for a week that Pritchard was in trouble. Woj wasn't at all the first to say so. Even Canzano wrote a long editorial about it March 17.

For the sake of history I'll include one more key article, by Maxey, which isn't about McMillan. It was the first to verify message board observations that Pritchard wasn't sitting with Allen anymore.

In conclusion, I didn't lie or stretch the truth, as Papa says. There are articles which report a rift between Pritchard and McMillan, and there are none (despite great efforts to get Blazer bosses to do so) to back you up. As for Ed O, if you want to claim that most articles disagree with Woj, well, that's not what the rest of us are seeing. All articles agree with Woj that Pritchard is in trouble.

 

8.) KP spent a little too much time talking to one of the ladies Paul Allen brought to a game.

It explains why KP wasn't allowed to sit next to Allen anymore and why he would be fired for seemingly no reason.

9.) KP hit on Paul Allen.

This explains the above as well.
