    What direction are the winds blowing?

    Trade up, down, stay put?

    Using the TPE?

    I'm wondering if we are hearing some of the same things. Based on what you have hinted at around the edges, it seems to be along the same vein. I would say, in almost all of those discussions, the Blazers are not in the position of having leverage. It is either about even, or they seem in a position of weakness. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

    Is there a January 6 hearing at the same time? If so I will have that on TV and draft on phone.

    It’s WHY they’re in a position of weakness that pisses me off

    as it should piss us all off, something smells a bit rotten here. The GM/head negotiator has to be in full control or its gets bad, what worries me is that is not the case

    Cliffs notes.

    they are all guilty and nothing will happen to any of them, allowing a big red wave to take a giant shit on this country once and for all. Then the government will be overthrown and we will have a ruler and not a president, any longer

    ps

    Canada will be lovely

    Yeah makes sense, after considering what happened at the deadline, sucks this is happening - new ownership can't happen fast enough

    It’s so infuriating because “not having leverage” is such a made-up, self-inflicted disadvantage to give yourself.

    We always have the option of picking BPA. We don’t “have” to do anything. Sure, that may make Dame mad, but so what? If he wants to leave I’m happy to blow it up and get a haul for him.

    Not ownership for what it’s worth

    Gotcha and actually was what I thought, Berty boy has got to go, thought that is likely very wishful thinking

    Getting? I think he has been for awhile. People blame NO for keeping the CJ/Dame experiment together for so long but I really believe Dame was putting pressure on the organization to keep it together.

    Why do you keep pretending like you know anything?

    I believe you're wrong about that

    if anything, I think Dame was putting pressure on the Blazers to fire Olshey, which is why Olshey tried to torpedo Dame on his way out of town
