You know what I love about these guys? Seems like every episode they find the most interesting things to focus on. At least in the past four episodes they certainly have.
It's actually a pretty good podcast. Personally, I'd rank them currently: 1. Locked On (best analysis of how the team is doing in a nice, concise style) 2. 3-on-3 (a bit more rumor-mill, but also good analysis) 3. Rip City Report (actual insider coverage, since it's Freeman and Holdahl, but jeez do they fill a lot of the show with "banter" that's pretty boring and irrelevant. Do I really give a shit about their favorite sandwich? Also, Freeman clearly doesn't say much critical of the team considering he works for the Oregonian, and Holdahl is literally employed by the team. So the takes are always lukewarm to cold.) 4. Blazers Edge (Marang and Biggs are the depressed cynic and the rah rah soccer mom.) 5. Pull Up with CJ McCollumn (obviously the most insider of the podcasts, but also really biased. I also feel like CJ gets a lot of credit for his "journalism" style, but really it's mostly really bland and forgettable cliche. If he weren't an NBA semi-star, he'd be podcasting some division AA college.) I'd rank a Woj or Lowe podcast with Blazers discussion as more interesting than any of them.
lol, yeah, everyone wants to be a you tube/ internet star now days. I guess it's like playing the lottery, every blue moon someone actually makes it. Guess to some it beats working for a living.
I barely know what a podcast is. Is that like going to the pot? Borrring unless I can hum it. Bob Dylan was criticized in the 60s because in some songs, he spoke words instead of singing. Later, rappers did the same. When podders sing for an hour, they'll finally earn an honest day's wage, like their whistling daddies.
