    MB was always super nice to me. He was a huge Blazer fan. I refuse to dislike someone simply because of their political beliefs. I have friends and family on both sides of the aisle.

    I always liked him....to the point I wish I hadn't known his politics actually.

    I would agree with you if it wasn't explicitly about Trump and his family

    Unfortunately my parents are Trumpers so I'm faced with either ignoring it or cutting them off. :dunno:

    Did you ever consider taking a picture of yourself with an airsoft rifle, and saying hello to them?

    I would literally have to cut off 90% of friends, coworkers, and family. Almost everyone I know likes some politician I find to be a hypocritical moron.

    Personally I'm more likely to cut off people that are willing to cut off people over politics (because it indicates close-mindedness and/or zealotry) than people who support (and are even vocal about) politicians and policies that I disagree with.

    That's not a shot at anyone here--I don't know any of you--but a way I live in real life.

    I don't even watch blazer broadcasting games because he annoys me. I much prefer Mike Barrett.

    Disagreement is one thing. Worshipping one who tried to overthrow democracy is another.

    I actually think Calabro is one of the best in the biz. I like his interactions with Hurd. My disdain for anything Sonics died off like almost 20 years ago when the Sonics actually existed.

    Damn I remember when those George Karl teams used to spank us. Even when we were really good, it always seemed like those Sonics teams blew us out.

    Anybody that supports or promotes hate…. No room in my life for that. My mom, or a stranger on the street…. No time for that.

    Said it before. I have friends with whom I disagree in some issue but I can never be friends with someone who considers me a lesser being unworthy of basic civil and human rights. Friendship has to be between equals.

    Good point, yeah the see you on the plane line was stupid, not professional.

    I do wish the excitement Mike and Mike had though... wish there was some way they could come back on courtside. Maybe Blazers Uprise should try to get some specials with them.

    Barrett doesn't watch the Blazers anymore and only talks about them now to trash them. Rice's analysis has seen better days. Would be fun to have them both on together though!

    I always thought Mike and Mike were amateurish and felt like a minor league baseball broadcast team. I prefer Calabro and Hurd to them.

    I would really love it if we had a young play by play announcer who was really dynamic and I wouldn't give a shit about his or her connection to the area... just a dynamic professional. I would also love to have a Blazers vet as our analyst/color commentator; Blazers anecdotes and real NBA experience would go a long way for me... obviously some Xs and Os and charisma would be a prerequisite.

    Neither is the half court circle a Cyclops. Neither do you lick the brindle in the middle.
