    Nah. I enjoyed Mike and Mike far more than any alternative the Blazers have offered us before or since. Snapper and the Schonz were better than the Mike's, but that's it. I preferred Kent to Calabro.

    Calabro is just phony.

    The difference with Dame's mood this season is having 3 kids wake you up in the middle of the night when you need to sleep.....my two cents....he's got his hands full. I'm glad he got a gold medal but with his abdomen he should've probably sat out the Olympics this year.

    He was new, finding his way. I'll accept that from a new person with room to develop. Not as a finished product.

    It was possibly his last chance, and he knew Olshey wasn't moving mountains to get him the help he needs to win a championship. I'm good with it.

    Now he just needs to be smart enough to take the rest of the season off in preparation for next season.

    Not sure how a simple observation, seen many times, is a slight. It's just what is. Was there anything inaccurate there?
    Still learning to dance around that so often measured, 'slighted/offended' meter. :cheers:

    Some fans are poor and rather have some easy money than Wins.

    waiting for easy money might be why they're poor....just sayin' ...if you're poor, gambling isn't going to solve your problems...but it might just become your problem

    It's not that. It was the wordage, and all I wanted was an explanation to confirm it. I guess I got it but it doesn't make sense.

    It's okay. We're allowed to disagree as well as I am to answer a question.

    As well, I dont think anyone was "offended" by what you said. I sure wasn't. So I don't know why you felt the need to say you're trying to dance around it when it's just my perception of a slight and I'm not offended lol. We don't need to make this into a societal thing when it isn't one, all I'm saying. Just wanted to clear that up real quick. I'm just talking about my perception of how it looked. No hard feelings, no antimosity. Just wanted a clarification lol.

    As a finished product it's more a matter of preference from the listener, in my opinion.

    Take Dave Sims, for instance. I hate listening to him. He seems phony.

    I also have a personal story with Calabro that makes me know he is authentic so that skews my perception a bit.

    That said, finished products are down to preference (i.e. Joe Buck). In my opinion again.

    Simons has already proven that’s a no. Little is not as offensive as I’d like but is definite role player capable.
