    Chris, Phats, Bones and myself were brought into the Blazer mothership and shown a bunch of slogans for the upcoming season and asked which one we liked best. We had to sign a confidentiality agreement not to say anything. I'm pretty sure we still can't disclose the slogans that weren't selected but the Rip City Runs Deep was one of them we were asked if we liked.

    I guess, “Rip City, Remember When” wouldn’t have had quite the vibe they were looking for.

    I wouldn’t mind if they mixed it up with the rip city thing in general. it’s a fun name and we love the shonz but the mark has gone from a secondary mark to something they use on almost everything. I wonder if it’s because they don’t think there are enough other legacy franchise elements worth marketing. back in the day rip city was one of a bunch of different ways the franchise talked about itself.

    Too bad “Rip a fart City” didn’t make the cut

    What do they do to you if you tell the secret?

    That's why they invited only Sly, Chris Craig, Phatguysrule, and BonesJones. The rest of us don't "cut" it.

    There were people there I didn't know so I assumed all of them were you and @barfo.

    Was there a guy there with hair down to his waist, sharp fingernails, teeth that haven't seen a dentist in 30 years, in a purple magician's cape with "jlprk" on his shiny cone hat?

    That would be Barfo.

    There are in fact a lot of similarities. But I'm still alive.

    Has he be called a "cancer"? I have nothing against Ayton, but don't understand big men that shy away from contact. LA had the same issue. Why would you wane to take jumpers at a 40% clip when you can dominate inside at a 70% clip
