    I notice MB's blogs and any comments are gone and was wondering if HCP as a Blazer's employee can post anything about players.

    He's around. I saw him standing on the corner at 5 am waiting for the truck to the orange grove.

    One more good thing coming from the lockout.....whohoo


    Actually, is HCP an actual Blazer employee, or is he contracted by the team?

    He does those on the road videos, but they are still up so maybe you're right.

    He signs an annual contract with the team, like Nate did. I don't know whether he's an independent contractor, with social security tax not deducted from his paycheck. He talks about his boss posting on this board, so he sounds like he's on employee status, not independent contractor.

    I would think that a couple of years on this board would be enough time to firmly establish that, no, HCP cannot post, but unfortunately, does. ;)

    with that physique I would think he could do well down low, but he is soft and prefers playing on the perimeter.

    You can't blink.
    You have to be wired
    In a way of being
    So committed to the mission,

    The mission that we're on,
    Reform of this country,
    And victory in the war,
    You can't blink.

    So HCP didn't blink.

    HCP is a freelancer. I believe he signs a new contract at the start of every season. Right now, he can probably post about players but my guess is that he wont just to play it safe. Trail Blazers (same for all teams) employees arent allowed to comment on players or the lock out situation.

    Wow, this is a deepening mystery. Is he legal? Either the Feds picked him up or the Mexican Mafia got him. Maybe they wanted respect money each month and now that he's been laid off, he couldn't pay, so they corkscrewed his thumb and now he can't post. Just like on Rocky I, where Sylvester Stallone is employed as such but won't twist the guy's thumb when he can't pay. That movie is a goldmine of information.

    I'm here NERDS, no need to worry. I can post, just told I was supposed to be careful. Guess David Stern reads S2?

    If you notice they are only putting the ones with no players in them back on the site.

    You're welcome everyone for bringing HCP back. Or I'm sorry, I'm not sure which oen.
