    This is true. Schonz at least had an opportunity to say goodbye. The Blazers may have forced an early retirement on Bill, but at least he was allowed to finish out his last year. We'll never get that closure from Wheels.

    I hope they gave Wheels at least the same one year parachute they gave Mike and Mike. He earned it.

    I almost never listened to games on the radio so I honestly didn't have a huge attachment to Wheels, but this is reminding me how pissed I was, and still am, about Mike and Mike.

    This is the ultimate compliment I can give an announcer:

    Other than Chick Hearn, Brian Wheeler is the best basketball play-by-play announcer ever.

    You will be sorely missed, my friend.

    I think that's called "projecting".

    I liked his voice and his style as an announcer you could not have gotten a better replacement for Schonley. These are some pretty big shoes to fill Blazers better not fuck it up

    It was nice to meet your (insert correct female relative here) there. #ConjugalHookups



    HA...see what I did there? It's a double innuendo.

    I have no doubts about your implied "conjugal-like" activities.

    I do have significant doubts about your implied "partner" and your implied "role" in said activities.
