    I just told my wife we can finally go internet-only. No need to watch the Blazers next season; with Tone out, I can listen to Wheels and save $1200 a year to buy a 1/4 season pack!

    I would, but 1080 The FAN is garbage, so they probably love the whole change.

    I feel like gathering the munchkins to skip around in circles singing "Ding song the warlock's dead!"

    This was a terrible decision made by a bunch of suits who thought change was needed. Wrong. You don't fire one of the best in the business, and even if you're stupid enough to let them go, you don't treat their departure like this. Terrible.

    I wouldn't call Mike Barrett "one of the best in the business" by any means, but his style worked in this market as a long-time home-grown fan who called the games passionately and fairly. He left most of the homerisms to Mike Rice. That said, this is a very dark day for the Blazer organization.

    They're getting a year long paid vacation to make up for it.

    I also find it interesting that the CEO is going on 1080am rather than "Rip City Radio" to explain the situation. Maybe this is a further foretelling.

    1080 has a local show from 12-3. Rip City Radio broadcasts a national guy during that time slot.

    Yeah, that seems really ass-backwards.

    Then again, Mcgowan is a complete idiot on common sense, so.

    He was no Pat Lafferty, that's for sure. And I hated Pat Lafferty.
