    He really sounded like he's just plain tired of Paul Allen's shenanigans.

    It takes about four Mark Cuban's to = one Paul Allen in net worth but he knows how to spend his money wisely and isn't afraid to make big, bold moves.

    I don't blame him for taking the new job if he's getting beat at his old one.

    Sad attempt... I'm not worthy of Barfo. :smiley-hailxin:

    Wow, I heard a little bit of his interview on the Bald Face Truth. He said that in the past he has used unnamed sources but from now on he's not going to. It's not very good journalism. Canzano started having a hissy fit, saying that you can't always do that. He said that if he only used named sources he wouldn't have been able to report that Cho wanted to suspend Roy during the playoffs.

    If he follows it up by stepping down as a columnist, then I'm all in favor.

    (Hey - I'm about to click on "Post Quick Reply" - how appropriate.)

    As a beat reporter you can't get 2nd jobs in radio and TV like Canzano and Jaynes.

    I'd like to see the Oregonian hire Ben from BlazersEdge to be their next beat reporter.

    Or the guy who used to be with the Columbian and then took a job covering the Jazz in Utah.

    I hope The Oregonian hires Brian T. Smith from Salt Lake City, dude was great for The Columbian. I have a feeling Freeman will be promoted, though.

    Ah, columnist-land... where old sportswriters go to die, but never "quick"ly enough.

    So now the O is going to have 3 washed-up bitter old sports-farts as columnists? Duin, Canzano, and Quick? Surely they can save some money by just making one of them write all 3 columns. It's all the same anyway. "Everything sucks nowadays, not like back when I was young."

    At least now he doesn't have to pretend to be peeking through the blinds when he makes shit up.

    I liked his Behind the Locker room door reports.

    Writing game recaps and being lied to by Vulcans probably gets old after 10+ years.

    Now we'll get to see the next beat writer trashed by the Message Board Experts.

    I thought the Blazers were upset at him for doing that?

    Investigative reporting is only admirable if the poster likes the reporter.

    That thread reminds me of what a joke Hap/Dan was, btw. How that guy ever made 'mod' is baffling, isn't it?
