    I want drones following the opposing team's players that we on this board can control. "Durant goes up for an alley-oop! Wait, what's that coming up behind him? Oh, my god!!"

    Any deal that allows you to keep your job.

    I'm in the minority, aside from many fans not having access to games due to the current contract, Comcast I think will give you the most in depth coverage on not only the Blazers. But in depth on most local sports if they are able to keep contract with Blazers. They have built their network for this particular area. They are already established and they will continue to grow. Do you think you will get Talking Ball or that other corny show after each and every game on root or on a streaming service? The reason you are getting that coverage is because they have nothing else to show and they built their network around this contract.

    With that said, if they can't get Comcast to move in negotiations, they need to walk away from a deal and sign with Root or maybe even stream it. Fans need access to the team. And not just some of them.

    Those corny shows are terrible and need to go. Count me OUT for keeping those around. The production quality is abysmal and resemble some B-rate movie/show.

    I want a streaming option without needing to have a subscription to a cable/satellite provider. That's it.

    Same, but could do without it if the team offered a streaming option without blackouts for cheaper.

    You just want to up your thread count in fear of someone else might pass you.

    That would be out-freakin-standing! We could be the Cubs/Braves of the 80's in terms of access to a broader audience. Having a national voice like Calabro's would go well with that option as well.

    There's nothing that tells us that. So, it makes no sense.

    Exactly, they bring nothing to the table of value. Plus, if they left CSN, we could finally be rid of dwight jaynes once and for all.

    I want all game televised and accessible to as many people as possible.

    I chose Comcast because of them televising Blazers games. But am OK/fine with Root or Fox Sports too, as I can also watch that channel on Comcast cable tv.

    I hope for others, that all games would also be able to be streamed live. Why not?
