    Yep. Love dusty, hated his past like 3 cohosts. He definitely gets the short end of the stick with cohosts going back to his morning days with Cam lol. Oh and wilcox.

    Kenny Vance was the best Blazer insider. He covered the team and had relationships with the players. Him and Kenny Anderson actually became good friends.

    I know this because my younger brother is best friends with Vance’s son and I’ve drank with Kenny on a few occasions and he can tell you so many great stories about the late 90’s early 2000’s Blazers.

    The Blazers obviously don't feel that way. He not my favorite commentator for sure, but all the ones Ive listened to have something informative.

    He has nothing to do with the Blazers. Not an employee, nothing.

    Didnt think he did, but doesn't he have credentials as a reporter or whatever he is?

    Everyone game I watch Kevin always promotes some after game show and evens mentions their names.

    Hey, if the Blazers were right all the time we would have multiple championships.

    They are wrong about Marang. He's the worst. Fact, not opinion.

    I don’t wanna pile on Marang too hard. He seems like a good dude. But we’re a poorly ran franchise. I’ve never heard him say a critical word and he acts like Simons is a top 5 PG.

    Ugh.

    Thats a show ran out of KATU studios. Run by them. They are hired by them. They simply talk about the team. They pay the team to promote, or it’s in the contract to promote. EXACTLY like the old Talking Blazers show on Comcast or whatever it was. Not team employees whatsoever, just so happen to be on right after us. Like the Chad guy postgame on the radio. Radio station employee, not team.
