    Someone could believe in the statement that said poster had said "anyone who thinks so and so is right is an uninformed fan"... thus it could be construed as a personal attack.

    I'm just jumping ahead of the curve and trying to remind people to say that "the posts" are uninformed fans... not the people. That's within the confines of S2.

    Ah. I appreciate your concern. However in the event someone actually uses that argument, I do think they're an uninformed fan and so it's absolutely meant as a personal attack and is in no way meant to appear to be within the confines of S2. I should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

    Wow!
    That's the first confession I've ever read here! Turning yourself in took some courage

    A lot of babble in this thread over a paid voice for the Blazers.

    It's too bad the Blazers beat writers suck so we have to get our info from Rice. :lol:

    Blazer news is so slow I have to amuse myself somehow. If I go to time-out that's okay since it's August.

    I lobbied for Tas Melas to become the Blazers beat reporter/writer 2 years ago. He was a huge fan and his favorite player was Wes. Rice I only listen to if it's early in the day. By gametime he's starting to slur. I think MB would be much improved with a younger, more articulate partner calling games. Even when games are televised, I listen to Wheels and Tone. I actually agree with most of Rice's analysis if it's taped early..he knows a lot about the team and the game. I just think it's time for him to pass on the torch. Rice wants CJ to make the leap. He's projecting that and I'm hoping he's right.

    I just like listening to Rice, and the inevitable countless times MB has to correct him. It's great.

    But, for the actual game? I agree with you.

    I love Mike and Mike. Mike Rice entertains me. I know he's a homer, don't care. I may not believe everything he says or tweets but he's my man. I grew up listening to him and the Schonz.

    To be fair, Wheels calls Marco Bellnelli "Belly-Nelly"... Every. Time. It's Bell-a-nell-e.

    I'd love to hear Boomhauer try to say it.
