    More armchair quarterbacking, McGowan gets paid a bonus based on how profitable the team is. This move takes the cost of producing Blazer games and puts it on Comcast. Comcast is not going to hire some big name broadcasters. Everything will be done on the cheap.

    I think it's more the way it was done, and what the cause of it might entail.

    If it's because the trio made too much money, that doesn't bode well for things imho. Not that they need to spend big bucks on the guys, but who is calling the games can make a difference if someone watches it or not (that and being able to actually watch it).

    This just smacks of all the other annoying people that are moving to Portland and telling the locals what Portland is and what it is not.

    This was a great city before you elitist bastards moved here. We don't need transplants to tell us what Portland needs.

    I seriously doubt that the interview will really answer any questions and be a lot of fluff talk

    thats what I fear. I respect the need to be profitable, but at what expense?

    Opportunity missed!

    Should have posted, "I told you guys that McCollum is better than the Mikes and Lillard."

    Exactly. Logic. Common sense. Surprised some are missing this.

    Perhaps. I believe the person that told me the info, but it very well could have been a moment in time they were just having a spat. Happens all the time.

    Yep. Count the number of phone calls the show takes during his interview. I'm calling the under on ZERO.

    Just like how the Ducks got rid of their guys when PAC 12 Network took over.

    I still hate that move.

    Can you imagine if the Ducks let Jerry Allen and Mike Jorgensen go like this? There would be riots.

    On a selfish note this really bums me out because I already hate this time of year waiting for the draft and free agency to start and now it has an even more negative undertone to it. I dont like the idea of something like this kicking off what should be a great summer.

    Contact the Blazers and let them know how fucking stupid they are. Please don't respond to this post with "it won't change anything", I know, but it felt good.

    So the ominous question that has yet to be answered - were those three the only guys to lose their jobs?

    HCP has been MIA since this news broke.
