    One I just heard on 95.5 is that PA's health is not good and the franchise is in a WIN NOW! mode.

    Ideas that come to my mind are:

    The leaked info about Cho wanting to suspend Roy...maybe Cho was the one who leaked it?

    Disagreement with what to do with Oden - offer him a long term deal, just the qualifying offer, or nothing at all.

    Disagreement with what to do with Roy - use a possible amnesty clause?

    Most likely the Vulacans realized that Cho has a mind of his own and are looking for a puppet instead.

    Well the Seahawks sure aren't in a win now mode, so the Blazers are the best bet for him. I've been paying close attention to people reacting out of desperation and this kind of feels like one of those situations. The old saying goes, "If you panic, you will find a way to get yourself killed". As a fan I hope that isn't what's going on here.

    Cho was involved in a steroids scandal and the feds were closing in. It was time to cut ties.

    I'm hearing from reliable sources that it has something to do with snooki, 3,000 gallons of Tapioca pudding, and a nude Angry Birds tournament. I'll keep you informed.

    Are you saying that Cho is Hedo's wife's husband?

    I don't want to say too much, but let's just say that I have a source who contends that this lead to much friction ... not that I actually have a source, but let's just say it anyway.

    It's got to be the Canzano article. My guess is Cho leaked it. Heck, he may have wanted to get fired. What better way than to expose Allen/Miller as having their fingers in day-to-day operations and player discipline issues.

    Only other possibility that makes sense is that they are bringing in someone like Adleman and simply needed to make room.

    Paul Allen was pissed that Cho didn't swallow.

    Cho was tabbed as the next leader of Al Qaeda. They requested the chance to meet with Cho and, since it was a superior position in a more stable organization, the Blazers agreed. Cho ultimately took their offer.

    Al Qaeda believes that Cho's quantitative analysis will revolutionary their terror evaluations. Of course, some feel al-Zawahiri will exert a great deal of influence over the new, putative leader.

    Cho told Paul Allen to suck on his little chinese nuts after he accidentally took his purse.
