    This sucks, Jeff Curtin is a great person and a good friend of the forum.

    This sucks, especially since I can't watch the games.

    He was genuinely nice while in the throes of working a frantic situation. Says a lot about a person. Also barely knew him but that spoke to me a lot.

    wow...bet a lot of people are holdin' their breath after this. Hopefully they'll leave HCP and Casey alone.

    Sometimes this team is truly hard to root for.

    I don’t think The HCP works for the Blazers. I think he’s contracted, like a landscaper, for example

    I don't understand why firing employees with 30 years of tenure makes a franchise appealing to buy. Most organizations consider those people to be iconic assets.

    If Bert Kolde could find a way to fire himself this organization would be so much better off.

    This looks like shooting the messenger. It's not the broadcast team's fault the team was terrible.

    Bert Cold here.
    I decided to change the spelling of my name to give a better reflection of my true personality. I also would like to remind everyone that even though you all hate Jody and have given Paul much of the responsibility for Blazer failures over the years it has been me that has been making these decisions and will continue to make life miserable for Blazer fans everywhere.
    I have read many of your criticisms over the years and know that you need more of the "Ref Butt Cam" and breaks to replays during live ball action. These men were trying to change those tendencies and that would make us less likely to get more TNT and ESPN money.
    They also were leaning toward live streaming that might cut into our Comcast money pit action.

    Rest assured with my name change and the removal of these desperate individuals we will be right on track for next year and the years coming under the dark influences available to me under the murky ownership situation at hand due to the "Trust" issues. Blazer fans can be sure they will know it is me who is calling the shots as has been the case now for decades.

    Sincerely

    Bert Cold

    Bert has been running the show more than anyone realizes. Jody is a figure head and Bert is the hatchet man.
