haha just flipping ya crap. I've already given up hope of ever actually being able to watch my favorite team. (comcast isnt an option in Hood River) so only thing I can do is let my interest wane in the Blazers to where they get less and less of my disposable income (1 game total in 4 years now, when it was 15-20 per year before) and teams like the Timbers gets thousands from me
Some of your complaints are starting to sound like a bad country song. "Comcast wrecked my truck.." "Then stole my dog..." "When I came home my wife was gone..."
They probably view it as something trivial as that.. then talk like something can happen, while in reality all that happens is a 7 year circle jerk at headquarters.
The blame for the Comcast contract falls on Larry Miller. Comcast negotiated themselves a really good deal. If you can have a monopoly on all the taco trucks that worked the Columbia gorge you'd take it. And when HCP came to wanting to run a taco truck you'd laugh and then tell him to get lost. But... this thread is about trying to see if CSNNW and RC2 can team up for somethings.
* I live just an hour outside Portland and Comcast is not available where I live even if I wanted to switch from DirectTV. * Nevertheless, League Pass blacks out Blazer games to me, because of my proximity to Portland, even though I cannot get Comcast. I have been screwed. I cannot watch most Blazer games even if I was willing to pay for them. I didn't even know what Lillard looked like for most of his first season! I'm not gonna move, I live in paradise suckas! But yeah, I don't see many games and I sort of lost interest in bothering - I do follow the results daily as well as this forum (better to be a lurker than a troll). I was a 100-level season ticket holder for several years and when the blazers reps call to try to get me to sign up again, I tell them that I lost interest when I could no longer see their games, due to the Comscast fiasco - and I see that in the public in general. Sure there's hard-core fans, the best in the world, but outside the hard-core there's much less interest. Ask an average guy in Portland if they saw the Blazer game last night and they'll say "huh?" WTF is up with that when you can't follow your home team's games? And the Blazer reps always say "yeah, we hear that a lot. That Comcast contract really hurt." Well, honestly, I don't know if it hurt the Blazers - they are counting their millions of dollars and might do it all over again given the chance. But it sure hurt the level of Blazermania in the general public.
BRO, THE CABLE AT MY PARENTS HOUSE IS CUTTING IN AND OUT INTERMITTENTLY. COME ON OVER AND FIX IT, POSTHASTE.
lol, if we're like that with comcast, imagine how hard we'll go at Dwight Jaynes. haha only kidding though, I think most of the shots will be more argumentative than attacking him. It'll be interesting to humanize the interaction with beat writers.
I'd trade Canzano for Jaynes any day. The last decent Oregonian sports columnist was Kerry Eggers. How he keeps his job I will never know.
He can breathe his air just fine.. [video=youtube;SiabeNR_q0U]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiabeNR_q0U[/video]
