    yeah, I don't think Olshey has to intentionally do anything...I'm sure the man gives it more than his all...Not sure what goes into this Canzano take.

    The Blazers can fix this problem and silence him by 'giving him' something. I don't know why they don't.

    It's a fucking stupid theory. You get future jobs by not stinking. Canzano is a dolt who can't figure out how to get attention in any way other than being an inflammatory asshat. I've never been one to boycot his crap, I just never read it cause it holds zero value.

    I'm impressed. JC has managed to turn shit-posting into a full and a part-time job. Good on him.

    That impresses you? I could post a thread on here about popsicle sticks and three months later people would be on Sports Two arguing about wood density. Canzano is a hack at best in a "cut and paste" editorial column. If your going to idolize a sports journalist, idolize greats like Dick Schaap, Peter Gammons or Thomas Boswell. Writers like that have chunks guys like Canzano in their stool.

    I've never heard anyone connect Walt Whitman to drunken Republicans...he was about as far from conservatism as a poet could get

    Eh. Don't know much about Whitman to tell you the truth. As far as American poetry goes, I like Hart Crane and Hart Crane..... and Hart Crane.

    I think John Nash and Steve Patterson intentionally sucked at their jobs so they could leave and get better jobs.

    I think Nash and Patterson sucked at their jobs because they don't know anything different. Getting another job was just a bonus.

    I think PatterNash was hired to tear down the Blazers. Which they did. Once accomplished, it was time to find someone to build the team back up.

    Labeling the Clown’s job description as columnist is not a good fit. Plus, it insults every legitimate columnist.

    After comparing the Clowns behavior to every known psychological disorder, the best label appears to be troll. However, he has taken normal trolling far beyond the internet into radio and newspaper trolling. Plus since he is paid to troll, that makes him a Professional Troll. I did a search for images of trolls, and sure enough, up popped this image of the bald clown.

    Troll.jpg

    However, there is more to the Clown’s talents than just Professional Troll. He uses very elite and advanced baiting techniques. He can bait anyone into a senseless argument, on any subject, and take any side of the issue, and always declare himself right. The only requirement he uses is, any trolling topic he starts must increase his ratings, no matter whose lives he disrupts. The only defense against his elite baiting skills is to completely ignore him.

    Clownznao’s correct job title should be: Professional Master Baiter Troll.

    Patterson is the AD at Texas. Debatable whether or not that's a better job than NBA GM.

    "Neil Olshey (No. 3 in 2014): Awful summer for the Trail Blazers GM costs him on this list. Olshey got nothing for three big expiring contracts (LaMarcus Aldridge, Wesley Matthews and Robin Lopez) and is trying to spin the failure this summer as a natural part of building a winner. The Blazers roster strength is how the GM will ultimately be judged, and the roster is at its weakest point in some time. Olshey has drafted well, but feels like the first GM in league history to begin tanking a season in the previous July"

    Note to John: Just because you aren't smart enough to understand a plan doesn't mean that there isn't one.

    Are you on medication or something? That summation is so far off it's mind-boggling that as competent an arguer like you would say it's hard to argue with.
