Hello, They had to respond. The press would hound them until they did and the longer they didn't, the more extreme hypotheticals get tossed out their by satirical reporters with nothing else to say because the team hasn't commented and then the public runs with it. Jody is ill The Allens and the Knights don't get along Jody plans on keeping the team and making all the calls forever Etc Etc Etc Blazers had to respond. Whether a smokescreen or not. Too big of news to just wither away.
Has anyone but Canzano and his anonymous sources reported the trust's requirement to sell? Until I see it reported by someone more credible, and not just referencing his story, I find it sadly plausible that the team really is not for sale.
I don't want that woman near this team. Period. I will drop it on that note and thanks for acknowledging the severity of the issue. As a former social worker who worked with trafficked women I take it very seriously indeed hence my vehemence. Cheers and lets end there.
82? He could give us 5 coherent years I bet. The Dodgers don’t hesitate to spend so I like that. What about Phil’s kids? Any worth passing the team to?
Phil's son, Travis, who graduated from Portland State. He runs a stop-motion animation movie studio (Laika) in Hillsboro and also directed the last Transformers movie, Bumblebee, which was released in 2018.
Jake Fischer called it imminent a few months ago. Not necessarily referring to any requirement in the trust but just from noise he heard from league offices of a vetting process. Brian Berger from SportsBusinessRadio also has echoed much of Canzanos reporting and even threw out names of potential suitors.
Travis Knight, Portland State University's 2012 Alumni Achievement award recipient - "It was a really interesting place with just a lot of different kinds of people. That's one of the things I found so stimulating about it. To me it was the perfect kind of place for me to be in. If I had just gone off to a college in this kind of perfectly manicured environment where basically everyone was the same fundamentally in the same moment in their lives I don't think I would have got the richness of the experience that I ended up getting at Portland State. " It looks like Laika's next movie will be Wildwood, set in Portland, based on the book by Colin Meloy. This article is from September 2021. "“As a deep-dyed native son of Oregon, I have rainwater, microbrew, and fair-trade coffee coursing through my veins,” said Knight. Laika has begun production on its sixth stop-motion feature, “Wildwood,” the studio’s first fantasy adventure set in the natural beauty of hometown Portland, Oregon. Laika President & CEO Travis Knight (“Bumblebee,” “Kubo and the Two Strings”) directs, and legendary cinematographer Caleb Deschanel (“The Right Stuff”) makes his first foray into stop-motion. The six-time Oscar nominee brings his naturalistic style to handcrafted animation after lensing the virtual world of Jon Favreau’s “The Lion King.” “Wildwood” is based on the first in a trilogy of YA fantasy novels by Colin Meloy, lead singer and songwriter for Portland-based The Decemberists, and illustrated by artist Carson Ellis. The project about a secret forest has been in development at Laika for a decade. No distribution has been announced, though there are obviously several streaming opportunities available at Neflix, Amazon, and Apple. https://www.indiewire.com/2021/09/laika-announces-new-stop-motion-wildwood-portland-1234664769/
