    It's too bad this computer owner is more tech savvy than our computer owner.

    That's so funny - I read this as a "screaming service"

    Paul had streaming games a few years ago, as an option for those who couldn't get CSNNW.

    I hope that the Blazers do something like this for the next TV offer. Kind of like the WWE network, where the games are offered online for a monthly fee or something.

    For a moderate fee, 5-10 a month, you could have access the non national/KGW games, access to the teams "library" and maybe the team could make up new shows/player shows.

    If they get 50000 subscribers (just a WAG), and charge 10 per month, that's what, 6 million a year.

    Maybe those #'s are realistic, but I'd totally buy a "Blazer network" subscription for 10 bucks a month.

    Yeah, something like the WWE network would be great, I'd love to go back and watch old games from the 70-90s.

    This, there needs to be a Blazer Network app that is available to stream via any console, tablet and is chromecast/roku compatible.

    If Ballmer thinks he can sell more than $60 million in digital subscriptions, the number he turned down from Fox, he's delusional. There's a reason that Microsoft is running much better with him away from the helm.
