    Okay, it's not huge but it is really nice and very cool. As you know our level of press credential doesn't give us access to the press room. Because of that we can't get in to hear Stott's post game press conference. CSNNW has agreed to provide us with a live feed embedded in the forum after every home game. That means you will now be able to watch the press conference live in the forum.

    This is a great example of the Blazers and CSNNW working together to bring us better and more in depth coverage of the team we love.

    Unless the announcement is they've come to an agreement with Dish and Direct, who gives a flying fuck.

    I just dropped my blood feud with Comcast!

    Not really. I'm still not going to pay them any money.

    Really?

    This is incredibly nice and gracious of them. They don't have to give us shit. I'm actually very appreciative and think it's great.

    Exactly! It would be sooooo cool to watch entire video feeds instead of clips

    It'll be a good addition to the board. I'll watch. But I've found free options to replace Comcast cable. Constantly changing my monthly bill lost me.

    I'm feeling some negative waves in this thread. Speaking of negative waves...

    Yes, really. It's been 7 years (this being the 8th) without having a "deal" struck. That means it's been 7 years where the Blazers haven't been on my TV because comcast doesn't even try to sign a contract with dish or direct.

    It's been 7 years people, with the vast majority of the games not being on my TV, and doubtful that anything will change once this contract is up. So pardon me if I'm not super excited about trinkets.

    Question: Does that mean we will be able to watch Talkin'Ball in this forum?

    Glad to know what we can say and can't say now. I'll do better, booker man.

    Nice to be able to get the whole interview versus the edited version if we want to see it.
