Neil had to work in concert with Vulcan legal with regards to any background check/thorough and they would set the criteria, Im sure. I believe that Jody would want a thorough enough report for her & Bert to sign off on. I really don't think this is Neil lying and deceiving his ownership in something so important.
Its amazing to me that the Dallas pres simply said she did her research herself and talked to Kidd directly, and its accepted with no apparent backlash, that Ive heard of?

But doesn't that potential move imply that Billups should never been hired and that he is guilty whether convicted or not, and not deserving of the Coaching position. I just think it opens an even bigger hole.

I don't think firing Neil for not doing his job during the hiring process and then at the very least misrepresenting to the public what had been done to vet Chauncey has anything to do with Chauncey.

The only good part about this is that people actually did do thorough investigations of the 1997 incident and they came up with nothing that would even be close to grounds for firing Chauncey or reversing the hire and they sure as shit didn't find anything that made him look guilty, if anything the opposite. No one can know for sure in these situations but because of what reporters have uncovered through actual investigation Chauncey now more than ever looks like the most believable party... as far as his involvement is concerned.

It does have to do with geography but it also has to do with what the Mavs said they did... there's nothing to dispute or question besides their judgment.

The way Neil and the PR person came off in that presser was suspicious and as per usual for Neil arrogant. Telling people that they'd have to take his word for it was asking for reporters to dig deeper than Neil had to have known he had. That's the guy running our team though, he's pompous and has gotten away with talking down to people publicly for the last decade. So of course it's Portland and Neil is an asshole... so there was backlash and then an actual investigation and now outrage... not just from the Twitter and Blogosphere peanut gallery but from legitimate journalists.

Well for those of you sick of hearing me whine about this shit... I'm done. Still have the same opinion of it but I was naive to think the Vulcan's could distance themselves far enough from Olshey to escape any blame they put on him.

So we'll now have a full decade of Neil... I hope he does really well building the contender that Dame seems to be demanding now because I do not want to see Dame gone.

I am asking the mods to please ask the fans to stop harping on this Billups thing it's getting us NOWHERE and the back and forth is just a waste of energy THIS is why i said you should lock that other topic NOT merge it with this --- but again just my 1/2 cent advice -- LOL

The Trail Blazers’ Private Investigator Shared Pornographic Images on Twitter in April
A spokesperson for the Blazers says they’re aware of the inappropriate conduct and won’t be using David Hallman’s services again.

When WW asked the Trail Blazers today about the pornographic images, franchise spokesperson Ashley Clinkscale told WW that the organization is now aware of the posts and will no longer be using Hallman’s services. She did not say whether Hallman was the primary investigator for the Billups inquiry.

People that have been reading what has come out about Chauncey and what was there before and still want to be convinced that he's guilty beyond reasonable doubt have reading comprehension problems. There just isn't anything on him besides one important thing which is an allegation and while that shouldn't be taken lightly... in the light of the other info we have people should feel comfortable with Chauncey as the head coach of our team.

It's Blazers related. It's about our head coach.

Like, what? Has it been harped on? Sure. Is it still relevant? Yes. Is it about the Blazers? Yes.

Come on now.

Indeed, the same people wail about rape kits as if rape kits themselves are proof of anything. Consensual sex can easily show up on a rape kit, yet in the feminist activist mind a rape kit showing damage(common in sex with big penises) equals rape. None of these people care about science and all of them think women are victims and men are monsters in all aspects of life. Maybe a little bit of hyperbole, but time and again their sexist ambition is clear.

"Ask any woman you know, including your mother, wife, daughter, if she enjoys having her vagina, rectum and throat ripped up and getting the crap beat out of her. That's not a little fun spanking or play bondage. Ask. Then come back here with the answer."


I would never, ever, ever, ever want this type of person on my jury. Some purported floor burns = "crap beat out of her". These people are blood thirsty sensationalists who assume the very worst at every step of the way. I've used social media enough to know that bruising, scratches, marks are very, very, very common in kink play and it's not something I've ever had an interest in, but it's so ubiquitous and so advertised that people who willfully ignore it in order to satiate their blood lust are beyond disturbed. To quote Aimee Terese again, "these people are sick".

Sounds like that screed was addressed to me. But not brave enough to call me by name.

Who is Aimee Terese and why should I give a fuck what names she or you call me?

This thread will not be closed. It will not be renamed. It will not be moved to OT. It will not be filtered to remove posts that show Billups in a negative light. This is the current reality of our team and new coach and we must face it. It will not be conveniently sweeped under the rug. This forum exists to discuss the Blazers and everything involving them.

Some think this has already been rehashed too much, that Billups is innocent, that it's time to move on. Others don't share those views. It's not comfortable. It may look bad for our site. Sure, Dame is pissed about it. We are all. Get over it.

It's still on page one towards the top. Eventually, it won't be. It will work its way down the page and then disappear onto the 2nd and so forth (before someone eventually bumps its in a year).

Fine, then if people can be disrespectful in calling someone a rapist and etc then don't delete comments when someone voices their thoughts on certain posters. If its gonna be this big shit show, then let everything slide.

People can bash Billups but you can bash a poster in here? double standards, and yes I have had a post deleted that wasn't even anything close to the shit said on here.
 
Did anyone actually call Billups a rapist in this thread?

Seems to me it was calling certain people that, not just you. Semantics I guess?

sorry MM, but that's bunk

Paine specifically and explicitly quoted what Crandc's said and then trashed 'those kind of people'....but there was only one example of those kind of people and that was Crandc

and by the way, as far as I know there is only one woman who regularly posts here so just maybe her perspective on all this shouldn't be trashed so insultingly.

I actually think those are the rules. You can attack coaches and reporters and players in here but you're not allowed to make insulting or attacking comments towards another forum member.

You could if you wanted, he's not a forum member and the rules are about respecting the people in here. You can call a coach a fucking idiot if you want on this site but you can't say that to another forum member in a post. @Paine Tablet as he has been more than several times sense he was obviously chased out of his last forum, was completely out of line. This time it was with you and I'm sorry. Hopefully @SlyPokerDog will have a talk with him.

looks like his post was deleted...?
 
A big difference between saying someone is an idiot and saying he's a rapist.

I don't think Stotts is an idiot, but he was not the right coach for this team now.

I don't think Billups is a rapist. I thought his judgment was poor but I believe him when he said he learned from it.

I also think it's pretty clear more than one person did rape the woman in question.

Who called him Rapist? People are allowed to share their opinion about Billups. If someone insults posters that is against the rules and is deleted. If you see it, report it.

Who bashed a poster? If it's a personal insult it's not allowed. If he is talking about the post and not you that is a different story. There is no double standard here.

The post I believe you are talking about was removed.

No, not double standards, the purpose of a forum is to promote discussion and debate. When members start insulting members that ends. If we were to extend that rule to you can't insult any coach or player that would pretty much kill most of the discussion and debate.
