What a great graphic on that site that perfectly illustrates how bad Turner sucks. Both our offense and defense are way better with him off the court.. Maybe we do need to eat a pick just to get rid of him.

I actually know this guy. Not really a twitter troll--he's a former radio host in Las Vegas, and has been working to get back into the media here in Portland for the past few years. He's had a regular segment on the 620am morning show, and has also done several TV cooking segments with (I believe) AM Northwest. Funny thing is that although he randomly put ET his list of "athletes he'd like to punch", he wasn't really looking for a fight--he was just responding to a question posed by a radio show.

Seriously though--Jake's a good dude.

I was hoping Jake was actually Canzano.

I’d pay to watch Canzano get his butt kicked...

So much money... Need a “Get His Ass Kickedstarter” fund going.

Nah--real dude, and much more chill than the slam piece makes him out to be. Guarantee he'd be down with making this a charitable event if ET's on board.

I literally don’t care about him now that I know he’s not Canzano. But sure, lots of free publicity for him. I’m glad he’s a good dude.

This will be the most heavily-viewed event televised live from Mt. Tabor ever. FAMS!

How about an S2 benefit?

HCP boxes OB under the saturday night lights? Set up a ring in pioneer square and let round 1 start at dusk.

How much money do you think we could raise? I bet we could buy a new forum mod.

Evan Turner is a salary cap troll.

 

[santeesioux]

Surely a fight like this could be against ET's contract details, maybe we could void it!

The only positive that can come from this.

Good dude? maybe, but a big mouth. Obviously looking for attention. Andy Kaufman pt. 2

Why is it obvious that he's "looking for attention"? Because he happened to use ET's twitter handle in his tweet back to a local radio show? You're making an unfounded assumption here. No way he could have expected ET to even see the tweet, let alone respond to it.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

So he sends out a tweet saying he wants to punch out several celebrities and he expected nothing in return. Not buying it.

Yep, I'm sure every single person who listens to the radio show and responded to this tweet was just "looking for attention"...

Why not. I could tweet that I want to kick Draymond Green in the balls, and don't expect him to waste his time tweeting back. Though it would be a far more interesting conversation than the one between this guy and Evan

I'd love to punch Tom Brady in the face too

Tweet that out to him--maybe you'll get the chance.

But thats one HELL of a positive!!!

And what is the purpose of either tweet?

[Boob-No-More]

And what is the purpose of either tweet?

To boost their ratings. Looks like it worked for Demers. "25 people are talking about this". That has to be 2x - 3x his usual listernership.

BNM

 

[PtldPlatypus]

And what is the purpose of either tweet?

Of the radio host's tweet? To interact with their listeners and generate interesting radio content.

Of the respondents' tweets? To provide source material for interesting radio content.

Neither is necessarily "obviously looking for attention", which is all I've been saying from the beginning.

Could be a fund raiser. Like for a homeless women's shelter or something (with all the pimp talk).

Oh, I guess that was already suggested. My bad

You are making my comment into a much bigger deal than it is. I feel it was likely done for attention and you don't. No big deal

 

[Orion Bailey]

Lets not go off assumptions and hypotheticals now......

Jake could very well be thinking that this could be a great event for the city (in which he is trying to get back to) and that may be the only reason he did it. But no one knows, so we shouldn't be assuming anything about him unless you know him personally.
