    Calabro is a familiar voice to Seattle area fans. Getting ad and sponsorship revenue from two major markets is better than from just Portland.

    And I agree about Hurd. Not a fan.

    MM, responding to this dude is as useless as responding to JinxSpeed.

    I’m just saying nobody cares about ties to Seattle and the hidden meaning to it.

    I don’t blame the Blazers. There’s a market up north that’s HUGE with no NBA basketball I would do whatever it takes to cram our product down their throats to milk money out of it. Honestly they should do the same further north to Vancouver BC. And maybe even Boise. Saturate Blazer shit all over those cities and milk it.

    That’s what Mariners and Seahawks do down here..

    I would think this means that Jordan returns to the desk host and Brooke returns to the sidelines for next year.

    Kent had his opportunity, and he was bad

    according to Freeman, Kent is definitely out, but at this stage, it's only "mutual interest" in re-hiring Calabro

    I really wish the Blazers didn't have a massive institutional fetish for all things Seattle

    Why not? Seahawks and Mariners bombard us with their shit. Milk the market that’s near you that doesn’t have the sport

    I do not give a shit....I hate Seattle

    and frankly, there are better play-by-play guys than Calabro all around the country. Besides that, somebody is going to have to prove that having Calabro as the announcer is going to increase revenue from the Seattle area. I don't buy that BS for a second. LOL...yeah, Seattle is filled with Calabro groupies with open wallets...what a crock

    nobody has to prove anything....Calabro has a stellar rep as a broadcaster and there aren't many available as good as him....hating Seattle has nothing to do with it in my view...Calabro is a quality hire for the job.

    Wheels is great but I don't think he can travel anymore from the way he ended his last season. I'd give Wheels the Jordan Kent talkin' ball and courtside gigs though
