    I’m a big Isaac and Suke fan. I find them relatable and funny. Their bread and butter is college football.

    I miss Wheels a lot on the radio. He was my favorite voice for the Blazers probably ever..

    Wheels got really mad at me for saying that the Blazers were right to fire Bobby Medina. Basically soured our relationship. I used to be on really good terms with him.

    I personally thought he mismanaged Oden. We had a lot of knee injuries under Medina. I was a little surprised that Wheels got so offended when I posted an opinion about the team on a forum for the team.

    Back in Sac, when I was there and Wheels was there, he had a great afternoon sports talk show. "Wheels After Work." You would have loved it! Miss that guy ❤️.

    Ah gotcha. I like that Steven brings different opinions and a different voice, everyone has their tastes, being trying to diversify content a bit with him and Crushables.

    Bobby was very well liked and respected. A really nice guy.

    Yeah that's all fine. I'm sure he was great. I just didn't think he did a great job.

    Here is what I posted in that Medina thread.

    I was apparently not welcome at the next meet and greet with Wheels after that.

    I don't know... I think it would have been really hard on Wheels during the last three years with all the tanking. He took losses REALLY hard. It would be like if I was calling the games..... shit would be dark. And they'd have to censor at least half of what I said.

    Any chance she gets through the season without hooking up with one of his teammates?

    For those who say Isaac & Suke don't talk about the Blazers enough. They talk about what gets ratings, what people want to hear about. And that's the NFL and college football. A regular NFL game, not a sexy matchup, not a Seahawks game, will still get a TV ratings # 4x higher here in Portland than a Trail Blazers game will. That's the facts. All of us here are diehard Blazer fans, obviously or else we wouldn't be here. But the average Portland sports fan is not.

    Of course he did. He probably will say he knew all about it and thought about sharing it weeks ago too.

    On their show, at about 2:45, Danny did read a text exchange he had with Dame today. I don't think he'd lie about that. Dame said he wont come back until he's 100% and he loves how this team is constructed.

    I think he knows Dame...... but clearly Dame isn't helping him break news.

    He can try as hard as he wants but he is no Chris Haynes.
