Jordan Kent out, Calabro in talks to come back

I didnt see the other threads and this thread is a out a new tv contract. Not Blazers announcers. I didnt click in here for my thread because they are two different topics?

Should have its own thread for those who want to discuss the Blazers announcers without sifting through tv contract negotiation conversations?

 

Kent can't do this

 

I challenge you to enter a thread and not make it about you/how you have been slighted/why you are misunderstood. Just one. Comeon, I know you can do it OB!

 

well lets see. Above are all the posts I made in the thread i created. Can you please point out where i made it about me, said how ive been slighted or miss understood?

please point out specifically where i did this. If not, well them i suppose the most recent thread should meet your request should it not?

sigh….


On the flipside, it sure would be nice to create a thread where you don't come at me like you just did. Just one. Since you know… you dont like conflict and all?
I know you can do it.

ill check back in a couple weeks and and maybe post some news i didnt think was posted yet and let you explain again how its all a out me and how ive been slighted….


Have a nice day….

 

He belongs to the same masonic temple as Koldie and Softy

 

ESPN's Mark Jones called all Kings games this year (while also working nationally televised games on ESPN/ABC). He would be my top choice. Easily my favorite announcer in the league right now. Doris and Hubie would be excellent as well, but I don't think Hubie calls as many games as he used to.

 

Not gonna let you derail another thread OB. Whatever you say is right.

Carry on.

I like Calabaro OK, and at least I won't have to hear Kent's insistence on saying, every damn time, "Derrick Jones JR" " Gary Trent JR" for another year.

 

It's so funny watching that again now.... no team would give Dame that much room from that distance now. No chance.

 

Kinda funny how it went from "a bad shot" to now something that every team has to gameplan for.

 

I wasn't in love with Kent either but Calabro bugs me. He's too in love with the sound of his voice and periodically goes on weird tangents that he thinks are amusing but are in fact painful to listen to.

 

Yup.... I don't know... I think Dame's range took a hit after some of his injuries after the all-star game. He didn't seem to have the same power on the deep deep shots.

 

Yeah to that point McGowan is making a good move here.
Strengthening the Blazers fan base can only help get better free agents as well.

 

Just how is it that you feel alienated? I sure don't. It seems to me that it's fans that are doing the alienating of things....the moving schtick about Seattle....the front office valet parking...on and on....Stotts coached McMillan in Seattle and McMillan played for the Sonics....didn't see all this stuff back then....hiring from the PNW is a local hire in my view...all the rest of this is just gossip fodder....comparing Kevin Calabro to Sarah Palin? Really? Jordan Kent is a local...that doesn't make me want to listen to him and hiring him isn't building a bigger fanbase.. If I'm really needing to see a game I can always go to a sports bar as well.
