    At night when the bars close down
    Brandon walks through a silent town
    And loves a team that's not around
    He still can hear it say

    He hears it say, "Brandon, you're a fine guard" (you're a fine guard)
    "What an all-star you would be" (such a fine guard)
    "But my life, my lover, my lady is CJ"
    It is, yes it is
    He said, "Brandon, you're a fine guard" (you're a fine guard)
    "What an all-star you would be" (such a fine guard)
    "But my life, my lover, my lady is CJ"

    Where would you pay just $5 for it?

    I signed up for a free trial and immediately cancelled it so I'm not gonna pay anything, but the only payment option I saw was to be billed $59.99 annually.

    Guys, Quick was on primetime this afternoon and they spent two full segments on the article. A great listen. Pod below

    https://www.radio.com/media/audio-channel/primetime-11620-hour-1

    EDIT: pod is the full first hour of the show. Quick came on at 3:30 so he probably starts somewhere in the middle of the episode.....you'll figure it out :)

    Also, I've never understood the Quick slander on this board. I know he's had his moments (blinds and all), but by in large the guy has been really good during his time here. I'm probably going to subscribe to the Athletic now.

    He has yet to apologize to me for all of the shit he threw at the team over the years, all in the name of getting his "hit counts". Imho, the only local writer worse than him is Crapzano.

    Wow. There is a galactic divide between Clownzano and Quick, IMO. Either way. The interview with him on primetime was great and worth the listen if you haven't read the article.

    Exactly. Now. He didn't used to be, all in the name of his self promotion. I guess it worked....

    I agree, imho, Crapzano is in a whole league of his own. I just can't think of any local writer that I would put in the middle of them.

    I will take your advice, and give it a listen. He's not getting any of my money though.... Lol

    Thanks for the link - good to hear he's doing better. I certainly enjoyed his time on the court for the Blazers. I still am unsure of the idea of retiring his jersey number, but damn he was fun to watch.

    it was very Interesting dealing with Roys massive contract because it wasn’t insured by the league. The insurance company gets to exclude a very small group of players and Roy was one of them. So the team was on the hook in case his knees turned into paper mache.

    Someone needs to walk up to JQ in the RG and call him "Slats."

    When he looks confused, say "You know, venetian blinds slats."

    It's not worth paying anything to read a Quick article. What is Roy thinking? Never a reason to ever say another word to Jason Quick.
