    I voted for Erik Gunderson, because I've never heard of him. That must mean he makes the story about the Blazers rather than himself.

    Or maybe he's just new.

    More easily is the correct adverb. Easier is a mere adjective. Raise yourself from the gutter.

    I think we should give SPD a Rippy award so he won't be so blue.

    I like Joel Freeland for the reporter and Mike Barrett as the announcer.

    Haynes.

    He broke more Blazer news in his short stint than any of the other guys combined.

    So, the Brit is so smart that he can devote spare time to writing articles covering the team and STILL beat out Meyers Leonard for playing time? Quite impressive...

    And he served as a mouthpiece for every agent that he spoke to while writing at maybe a 5th grade level (mistakes included).

    Breaking news (or more re-tweeting national writers) should not be the criteria to award someone beat writer of the year.
