    I just find talk radio boring. How often do you hear a local guy talk about something original or actually break news? I would rather talk to the "zeros" on this forum about Blazers basketball, quite frankly. I was an intern at 910 The FAN many many moons ago, and if you could see how these guys operate, you would know that they're really no different than any of the guys on this forum. Hell, I think you guys probably dress better.

    Isn't this what we have Canzano for? Do we really need a low rent clone.....?

    Its hard to come up with original content based on someone no one's listened to before.

    We should provide an open invitation to Mr danforth to the game we "Zeroes"attend in the suite. So he feels bad about himself when he realizes we aren't the "zeroes"

    Danforth is

    Fair enough. I fear referring to Danforth as even the homeless version of Canzano is still giving dude too much credit.

    If Danforth wanted to comprehend the size of his radio audience, he'd come to the meet-and-greet and divide the number of people that show up by three, and voila!

    Unoriginal and unfunny?

    Unoriginal? Dude is correct here - it is unoriginal that we have no idea who he is. To be fair, he's in a long line of unknown sports radio hosts from Portland that last all of 4-6 months before they disappear (can you disappear when nobody knows you're there?), left to die in oblivion and never to return.

    Unfunny? Fair enough, dude is spot on here again. It is unfunny that a message board of Blazers fans have no idea who this radio host is. I mean, I'd be pretty worried if I were a sports radio host in a one-sport city, and nobody had any inkling of who I was. I'd consider that unfunny for sure.

    Danforth FTW. Consider ourselves owned. He spoke the truth, and it's completely matter-of-fact.

    Just quoting this for those that missed it, especially Danforth.

    Learn the game, then post (or do sports talk).

    Mychal and Kermit were rad back in the day. I remember listening to those guys all summer long. Especially the summer of 1996, when we made a ton of moves to freshen up the roster and go young.

    Things have changed so much since then. Talk Radio is like blogs before the internet. But now we're practically post-internet, and talk radio is tedious. I can read more opinions, more informed opinions, and more varied opinions, in a tenth of the three hours it takes for Talk Radio to play an hour of ads and half an hour of bumper music.

    you'd think with 9 new players, "face of the franchise" gone, a new assistant coach, and position battles all over--you'd have stuff to talk about. If you have "credentials", why aren't you getting sound bites from Cliff Alexander or Montero on what they've been told their chances are of sticking? Why is it Casey and Quick who're getting the interviews with Kaman and Dame et al.?

    Exactly.

    But let's be honest.... I don't think either Kermit or Mychal were doing it for money, either. They were having fun, talking about the Blazers, their time in the NBA - they talked sports for the love of sports and they were real, genuine, and entertaining. They had their own stories to tell and they were engaging. It was like sitting in on a conversation between two friends and listening to their memories, their INFORMED perspectives, etc.

    Everyone does blogs, written or in video format these days. Most of these guys are a dime-a-dozen. They're mostly a dying breed, just like print.

    Because that's original content and these brohams don't know how to do original content.

    In case Taylor continues reading, perhaps you could elaborate on "original" and "content". Let's try to be constructive here.
