After a few too many drinks one night I told him how I really felt about his writing on twitter and got blocked. Best thing that ever happened to me.
This is what you people don't get!!! They're not supposed to like or dislike the team they are covering! They are paid to be objective, not HOMERS like Rice and Barrett. Do people really not know this?
From Canzano's piece on Greg Oden from the first page of comments: ramsfan December 08, 2011 at 3:56PM Follow I agree btib. Why would Canzano start crap like this? I bet Oden stays in Portland longer than Canzano. jcanzano John Canzano, The Oregonian December 08, 2011 at 5:47PM Follow I would make that bet. http://www.oregonlive.com/sports/or...f/2011/12/canzano_greg_oden_will_be_in_p.html
Gee, no shit? This thread was directed at you for your own stupid thread, and you didn't even know it! Well played, Sly!
Chip Kelly is going to declare for the NFL draft and LaMichael James is going to coach the Miami Dolphins. Book it!
That line is so old and so stupid. We get it just fine. When you work for a newspaper covering the team, the fans expect them to be objective, and they also expect them to be professional. Unfortunately "journalists" these days think they need to be controversial, or break a story to get attention. Even if the story is false. The competition with the internet may be a factor, but regardless guys like Canzano are ruining their profession. Very few people respect them anymore. People are getting fed up. We simply want honest journalism, and we are not getting it.
And here's some news for you. Canzano isn't close to being objective. He has a HUGE negative bias against the Blazers and Ducks. Objective I can take, but Canzano has made a career out of using "unnamed sources" to generate false controversy and try to deliberately sway public opinion against the local teams. Do you really not know this? BNM
Cansuckoff is hardly objective. Read the last fucking article about Jamal Crawford being a prima donna for not picking us already. That sounds very opinionated and non-objective. In fact, it sounds like us in this forum and we are clearly Blazer fans. I will celebrate the day Cansuckmydickoff is let go. At least with Quick he tries to be somewhat objective. Clownzo is clearly just a pot stirrer.
I called out Canzano on the other forum board the first month he came into town. Said he was an ignorant, untrustworthy, rabble rouser and he should be ignored. Nothing in all these years has changed my first, poor, impressions of this guy.
He also has a daily talkshow where he interviews people about current topics and breaking stories. He uses "fucking columnist" as a cloak. He is a journalist, and a really shitty one.
If we're being honest he's really just a sensationalist. I will never forget the absurd hilarity of when he blamed Steve Patterson and John Nash for Jason Quick's improper reporting of Marc Iavaroni being the next coach. He said if they had been more open and accessible to the media they'd have better reporting, so it was their fault Quick's source was wrong. The kicker? Canzano was Quick's source for that little mishap.
