    Last year my mom was on hospice about to pass from cancer. She was the one who got me into Blazer fandom. As fate would have it I won this ball from Slys drawing. Ran into Jeff in the elevator going to pick it up (had never met), his smile and friendliness was really heartwarming when I needed it most.

    Are they eliminating our broadcast department?

    Sounds like Bert was reading all the posts here that slammed the Blazer broadcasts.
    Way to go guys......you got them fired.

    It was even worse on Reddit. Fans did not like the weird angles that they would choose on fast breaks.

    You didn’t know? We have like several different podcasts running from Slys basement.

    And of course Sly has his onlyfans.

    Wow! Cool! A doghouse with a basement.

    I think in Sly’s case it is Only Fan.

    Well they have a choice. They either have to neuter him or rehome him because he won’t stop humping Jody’s leg.

    The sickening, gut-wrenching irony of it all is letting Chad Doing, the absolute worst Blazers media person in history, leak the news...

    Starting to feel like we might be rooting for Darth Vader and the Empire, instead of the rebels...

    They didn't even let Adam "Don't You Know Who I Am" Bjarnson, a former employee of the broadcasting team, break the news!

    We know you are lurking on this thread @HCP and wisely staying quiet. As much as some of you give you shit (and rightfully so for being a laker fan) hoping all this doesn't affect you personally. Pretty shitty situation over there and hoping the best for you!

    Well, now if I were the president of this land
    You know, I'd declare total war on The Hatchet man
    I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd ran
    Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun

    God damn The Hatchet man
    God damn The Hatchet man
    I said God damn, God damn The hatchet man

    Well, I once sat next to Bert Kolde when Blazers were playing in Oakland and he was nice. It was late in the year, during timeouts we talked playoff matchups.

    Just because someone can be nice doesn't mean they are good at their job.

    Employees with that much tenure tend to be salary weights. They can usually be replaced by cheaper, younger, or outsourced.
