    I bet she has a job waiting for her at Nike.

    She may already have something in the works. Otherwise, why resign?

    Maybe Zags can help me on this, is she the chick that was always walking around in the knee high boots and the sexy outfits?

    Nope... not her.

    Because she can. Maybe she doesn't feel the need to work right now. There's a lot more to our brief lives than work, especially if you're making the kind of money she made. Maybe she'll "get a life". :dunno:

    Lagging ticket sales compared to what - an 195 game sellout streak? All but one game has been at or near capacity, and even that was a larger crowd than most of the other 29 teams can hope to draw. Chicken Little at Blazersedge is being his usual over-the-top self.

    To test out Ben's theory we can just go staright to a source on this site:

    Hey HCP, is this a scary time to be a Blazer employee? Any scarier than last year or previous years?

    I know not everything has to be sent to me with a rose colored tint, I am fine hearing negative things about the Blazers, hearing comments on fixing, whatever. I just feel like Ben tweets far more negative comments than positive, and as a fan, just annoys me, personally. I dunno if it is in an attempt to become bigger by looking unbiased, could very easily be the way he feels. And that's fine, I suppose. It's just not for me. It's almost the same as Dwight. There's pisutuve stuff you COULD write, tweet, etc. But they tend to focus primarily on the negative. I can think critically about my team, but I don;t generally follow a team as a fan to root against them.

    Blazers in finals in '90 and '92. Mensah joins team in '93. 17 of 19 years of futility since. Why is nobody making this connection?

    Mark my words. The jinx is gone; the rebuild can now be successful.

    After 19 years her figure was gone, so she's a goner. I saw a capable replacement walking down the street just yesterday. If the organization needs a referral, just ask me.

    Huh? She'll be a waitress for who at Nike?
