ESPN is crazy?!?!

[Strenuus]

like most media, ESPN tries to appeal to the masses so as to generate as much advertising $$$ as possible. Being a small market team way out West means most NBA fans don't have much of a rooting interests one way or another for our favorite team, we're basically a ratings loser. Blazer fans looking for offseason hype/respect, highlights in the first half of Sportscenter, or announcers who don't openly root against PDX will continue to be frustrated

For me, I just don't watch on principle alone. It makes sports a hell of a lot better. Also, you notice that Football may be the dumbest sport ever. It's amazing how that works.
