    This shtick is getting as old as Mike Rice. And it's gotten to the point where I'm not sure if you know that horse is dead or not. :deadhorse:

    I'll go out on a ledge and say I'm probably the only one in here that's glad the super homer and the old drunk are gone. Whether or not the new team is better or not remains to be seen. I'll give them a chance with a skeptic's eye.

    Wow, that old drunk was instrumental in you and your son going to a game last year.

    That was just rude.

    No that was you. You did that. Thanks John, but I've never had an affinity for Mike Rice.

    I'm actually glad I got to meet Mike Rice at that game....I think it was time for a change but appreciate Rice for his knowledge of the game. He was better at answering basketball questions than asking them

    I love Rice. I liked him on the telecasts. I liked him the times I met him in person, and just randomly stood around and shot the breeze. He's had a long career, so I don't necessarily feel badly for him that the team made a change. It happens.

    :cheers:

    That's right, HCP. Get busy mowing or get busy dying.

    Look, HCP says some bad jokes that might be illegal, but I'm pretty sure he's born and raised in Portland proper. I think he's got more credit than anyone else in this forum.

    Lamar is a smart man. He's already figured out that if he wants his face on TV at all, he has to to suck up to HCP. I hope they're paying him enough for that unforgettable aftertaste......

    Adam is a hell of a nice guy! When Mags and his wife came to town Adam gave us a tour of the Blazer broadcasting facilities and Blazer locker room. Also when Adam had his own show on Blazer.TV he hooked me up with a ton of swag. Very sad to see him go.
