    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't think anyone's freaking out. I think the Blazers either doing something stupid now or else admitting they did something stupid last year is significant news and bad news. Having a largely negative thread about this significant and bad news seems appropriate.

    Pretty sure this belongs in the "history rewritten" isle.

    I'm pretty sure he's criticizing others for acting like experts when we don't have all the facts, not criticizing you for being measured with your response...

    I've read your posts for many years. My strength is getting to the point, so I thought I'd lend a hand. :)

    Randy Pfund and Danny Ferry. You know, the cream of the crop.

    Fuck, at this point we'd be turned down by John Nash.

    With all of this rapid firing/hiring and contract issues, the Blazers front office is making themselves look like a joke.

    GM's, players, and agents will be hesitant to select Portland as a destination.

    Except that Al Davis won 3 Super Bowls and went to a 4th.

    Yes. And because some people here kept attacking him about things until he snapped and got banned.

    That's not what will be said why, but it is. Everyone did the same shit to Mixum as he did to them, but they are all still here

    He didn't really even snap, though. He simply went along with a Smoky and the Bandit analogy that somebody (NateBishop?) offered up, and then that poster used it as evidence of MIXUM's "schtick" so to speak.

    There are two versions of Al Davis, the sixties visionary and the 1990's, 2000's guy that is still stuck in the sixties.

    I'm referring to the crazy Al Davis of the past decade. He used to be a genius.

    This job will go to 1 of two people. Buchanan or Nate in the Popovich way.
