    Almost every NBA draftee, for example, has some injury history. (And those medical histories are carefully reviewed by our topnotch medical team.)

    PA is straight up trolling with that quote.

    I like the letter, and in a way, wish he'd go on the radio (even, puke, Canzano). Hearing him be candid is nice, even if it's sometimes spin. and, sorry to hear HCP is no longer on the payroll.

    The dude could cut a replay like no ones business. Without him, the highlights will suck. HCP IS HCP after all.

    If Paul Allen had said, "We will follow a juicy and supple path going forward" you'd know he's been bangin' your wife like the rest of us have been.

    You'd think PA would have found a way to keep Patty on the team.

    It's amazing how different the Seahawks and Blazers are

    When it comes to the Blazers PA doesn't say a word, hardly shows any emotion during games, is basically a robot.

    Seahawks?

    Doing youtube interviews with Pete Carroll

    Paul Allen loves him some Pete Carroll

    You'd think he would have learned his lesson.

    Armon Johnson?
    Patty Mills?
    Sergio Rodriguez?

    Evaluating PG's just isn't his thing.

    I wouldn't even recognize Pauls voice if I heard it, he just doesn't like to do interviews. He also has some bad blood with our local press. It's ok though, it's nice to see him say something about the team. I think the guy is trying to build a successful franchise, so that's all good.

    Dear Mr Allen,

    Thank you for your thoughtful letter. It said everything I had wanted to hear you say. But when I got to the end of it I couldn't help but feel there was one thing missing. You are the leader of this band Paul. Get out your guitar. It's time to rock!

    Sincerely,
    Ucatchtrout

    I'm encouraged by his statement. He has his issues, but it's good to have an owner who cares about the team and has deep pockets.

    The letter was candid, not just politically correct P.R. fluff. There are nuggets of information in there. He directly addressed some things that we've speculated about.

    He might love Carroll, but he spent most of his time in that video talking about the Blazers. :lol:
