    How about he buys an Nhl/Nfl/Mlb team and moves them here?

    How about he kidnaps Jed York and doesn't let him go until he sells him the Niners?

    If people would just stop reading him/listening to him, he would go away.

    Nobody buys the Oregonian anymore. Does anyone listen to him? I remember his ratings were far below the 1080 station shows. With 620 being Blazers can't imagine he's improved since then.

    A couple of years ago while Paul Allen fought for his life, Canzano ran a hate campaign against Allen, claiming a secret group had told Canzano that they wanted to buy the Blazers. Did Paulson pay Canzano to do that?

    In a separate story, the Oregonian's parent company, Conde Nasty, had a little bad publicity months ago, about not paying interns.

    I think people still read his crap on Oregonlive. I have no idea how they make money though.

    I'd be interested, too. That's not quite the same as saying I'll buy the team, though.

    Who is Merritt Paulson?
    And why should I care if he wants to buy the Blazers?

    Paulson doesn't have the kind of scratch it takes to buy the Blazers.

    Canzano literally has nothing to write about.

    Who gives of flying fuck if he'd hypothetically buy the Blazers.

    I would be interested in buying the Blazers too.

    Would Paul Allen be willing to take payments?

    Pretty much this, he'd need other big name investors and/or go Green Bay with it.

    I'm down with this.

    In all seriousness, I don't think Merritt could afford the Blazers. I could be wrong though.

    Ummm no. But if he did, the potential torrent of words to the fans and media would put Mark Cuban to shame. This is a guy who DOES NOT like being called out in public.
