    I watched a few of his clips on youtube and the guy is fearless and confident..I think we upgraded the broadcast team bigtime...and I liked Mike and Mike for many years.

    He can have his own sports talk show in the afternoon. Call it "The Hurd".

    I'm going to try to be open minded about it, but I'm really going to miss the camaraderie of the two Mikes. I'm afraid watching the Blazers could be kind of dry for a while.

    I've never heard of him. Anything is gonna suck compared to Mike and Mike, at least for the first 4 years or so.

    It'll take half a season for them to get comfortable and not overthink the game in my view...and I'm fine with that..Brian Grant will be an ugrade with Wheels from the first sentence out of his mouth
