    Unfortunate. Put him on radio and promote Travis.

    Hmmmm. It's almost like an older guy didn't want to take chances during a global pandemic?

    He said the time off was due to covid. Apparently he has some preexisting conditions that put him at high risk.

    Fuck yes. I kind of liked Calabro. Or maybe it was just having to listen to Kent for an entire year.

    Kent sucks. Calabro I was always a big fan of.
    Has that raspy smoking voice and always smooth calling the game. Need to get rid of Hurd now. He’s awful

    Hmmmm... Blazers sign with a Seattle TV network and rehire a Seattle broadcaster.

    I predict the Blazers will play a preseason game in Seattle this year.

    Booooooooooooo. Fuck Seattle. Also, I thought Kent was fine.

    why can’t we be our own deal? Why do we constantly have to have these asinine ties to the city of Seattle?

    Because it truly is best for the financial health of the franchise. McGowen has done a very good job of making a small market franchise profitable. Hopefully this will encourage Jody Allen to continue staying in luxury tax area.

    I’m not sure how a play by play guy helps revenue, but if that’s the case then Hurd needs to go. He’s awful
