You must not travel. Every city’s local media does this. Trying to keep up with nationals! This has nothing to do with Portland
Did anyone say they don't talk about them enough? I think most of the complaints, myself included, is that when they DO talk about the Blazers they clearly know less than the people on this forum.
Most radio shows, no matter how many teams are in that city, wont know more than most people on a forum. They dont delve into everything, AND sports is ruled by the NFL and college football. And as much as I hate that, its the truth. That goes for any local sports radio shows. They will never know as much as people on a forum because they talk about everything else along with it, and it gets fallen by the wayside. And besides, the team hasn't done anytying in the last 4 years to do any consistent segments on it other than the major stuff. Lets be real.
You're right. I was too generous to them. They know less than the casual fan. They're like a fan from another city who only sees highlights on Sportscenter. That's how bad they are.
I find Isaac and Suke fun to listen to. Radio generally in this town sucks, and at least with them we get general talk, not just sports and more sports. Suke's riffs are sometimes crazy but always fun, and Issac knows his stuff and steers the ship. And so what if they don't do a lot of Blazer talk; the Blazers fired Issac and he has every right on his own show to diss them back with lack of interest. If you want yet more Blazer talk, go listen to Chad Doing and Dwight Jaynes.
On my way home from work last night, around 5:30, I tuned in Isuck and Suck (I know I'm the first one to use that..), and they were talking about Drones. Arguably the biggest Portland sports day in years, and they were talking about drones and politics. That is 100% why that show sucks. If I want politics and talks about drones, I'd listen to a news station, not a *sports* station.
I was at work listening to basically the whole show and they spent about an hour talking about Lillard coming back at the beginning of the show. Suke was pumped about it and loves it. They discussed whether it was the best free agent signing they’ve ever had. Suke was talking about how Lillard will be like Kersey and Porter and be a lifelong Portland staple after his playing career. They have a 4 hour show. So I’m not sure how talking in circles about the topic for the entire show is good for viewership. Casual Blazer fan far outweighs the diehards.
I had no idea Patrick Harris is the one filling in for Dusty. I might actually listen to the show now. I ran in the same circles in high school as Patrick. We partied pretty hard in those years. We were never close friends. But some of my good friends were friends with him. He’s a funny guy and even more funny when he gets some drinks in him.
Can he fight? A couple times Danny gave him a look the other day like he wanted to fight him over what he was saying lol.
I don’t remember him as a fighter. More just the guy that made everybody laugh a lot. I’m sure he could take Marang though
Its not filling in, he has that gig now. And I really enjoy him on the radio. I think hes funny and personable and doesnt take himself too seriously. A staple for Portland radio. (Marang is none of those things, takes himself waaaaay too seriously)
Its a 4 hour show dude. Go to the audacy app and it tells you all the segments. Like come on, be better than that. You really think they are going to talk about it for 2.5 hours straight? Flat embarrassing you would try that. You KNOW they led the show off with that just by common sense without hearing it and you still said it. Be better than that.
