    He tried it in small spurt in the game and he found out it to painful to continue in the rest of the series. So what the argument it up to the player in this case.

    It's like the shit that William Randolph Hurst would allow his hacks to write. I just don't get it. Next he's going to tell us about grieving war widow who sold all her hair to buy a Blazer ticket for her retarded kid. But this IS the Oregonian we are talking about.

    That's the shit that really burns me up.

    "I realize that a lot of people like to use sports as an escape to get away from their real life problems..... so here is an article about how cancer is more important than sports. Just to make you all feel like a piece of shit for being passionate about a silly game."

    You know, it would be one thing if it was coming from a truly inspirational writer, but Canzano is a chode. He's doesn't give a rats ass about that cancer kid. He does it for the exposure. He does it for the awards. He writes those articles for the same reason that he trolls Trail Blazer fans and Duck fans with his antagonistic contrarian viewpoints. It's all about exposure and money.

    You know exactly where his priorities are when his first response to direct criticism is to invite you to his office to "compare paychecks" (this is an actual thing he did when I roasted him on Twitter a couple of years ago)

    It's interesting because I watched him for three seasons in the locker room. The guy really is an egomaniac. He's the guy that ruined it for the rest of us with Rasheed. He would walk up to Sheed after a loss and ask him, "Hey Sheed, did both teams play hard?" What other reason would someone have to ask that question other than to create a scene? Quick wasn't perfect, but at least he was an actual journalist. Not some shock jock columnist that doesn't seem to really know that much about sports. Just enough to get by.

    You know the stories then (I heard them from my friend when he was a producer for the local sports radio station). The best conversations always came in line for the catered meal. :ghoti:

    I like how half his "articles" are just him promoting his shitty radio show.

    I don't live in Oregon, so I'm not as exposed, so I'll ask you guys instead; who's worse, Clownzano or Jaynes?

    Canzano. Jaynes is an cranky blowhard but at least gives two shits about sports. Canzano is a troll, pure and simple.

    Jaynes is a pretty nice guy actually. I talked to him on a number of occasions and he was always friendly. Canzano......... not so much.

    Canzano is an ass, but he's a much better writer than Jaynes.
