Isaac Ropp on Nurkic Injury...

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I was busy this afternoon and only listened to the the radio for a few minutes but what I heard really annoyed me... They were basically laughing it up, and throwing in the oh “it was horrific” thing here and there. Then Ropp went on to say, well it didnt really matter, they werent going anywhere anyways. It really, really bothered me.

Anyone who listened to it today, did I just tune in for the wrong segment, or was the just of it, Ropp still doesnt like the Blazers so he doesnt care.

If the Blazers were the worst team in the NBA it would still matter. We're talking about someone's life.

Listen to the Quick interview right before that.

I still can't believe people listen to local sports talk. It's all trash. It's like an audio version of reading the majority of posts on here.

How would you know?

I will, Like I said I only listened for a few minutes. Ill get the podcast version and listen in the morning.

He was like that during that segment. Most of the first hour he wasn't. To be fair he didn't think they were going anywhere before the Nurk injury anyway.

And I apologize if this starts something and I am just uninformed. Just the part I heard was really uncomfortable.

Nothing to apologize for, I like Suke and Ropp but sometimes they are assholes. They shit they repeatedly said about Wheels was infuriating and rude.

For months.

Wow. Can't believe whoever is in charge of that show allowed that. That's bullshit.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

#1 radio sports show in the market. I doubt their boss cares about anything beyond that.

To be fair once again, it started out as a "Why the fuck would the Blazers release a statement saying Wheels had an enlarged scrotum?" bit and one of the guys was really uncomfortable so the other one mentioned Wheels Scrote often after that to make him uneasy.

The initial point was correct in my opinion that the Blazers should have probably just said "health reasons".

That doesn't make it right to laugh about it

"Wheel's enormous scoat" became really unfunny and uncomfortable after the 2nd time they said it, 30-40 times later it was annoying.

They weren't laughing at the injury. It was more like he thought it was funny that people actually thought this team had a chance before Nurk went down.

They used to do better with big time guest but I think Canzano blows them away with guest line up.

Wouldn't know, I can't listen to Canzano.

This is not factual at all. Canzano is now the only local program left on The Game and even he doesn't have many listeners anymore.

I was referring to the amount of national sports figures as guest. I listen to both and seems to me John out does them there. I wasn’t talking about ratings or facts and I don’t technically know it, just my impression with regards to caliber of guest.

 

[cityofroses]

If the Blazers were the worst team in the NBA it would still matter. We're talking about someone's life.

Someone’s life? I love Nurkic and really love the person he is off the court most importantly but really someone’s life? He just resigned for life changing money last year and the injury he had is no way career ending as we have seen with Paul George and Gordon Hayward. So I don’t agree with your premise

I hate Canzano but does he really not have much listeners ? I hope that’s true

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I listened to their show, as sad as I am to admit it, from the beginning. I spent a lot of time in the car.

I had really grown tired of the show. Then Ropp gets a DUII, was super real, down-to-earth, apologetic, regretful, and owned it. Brought me back to listening to it. Then, today, he’s basically like, “I’m tired of sportscasters being down when bad things happen on the field or court of play. Be a reporter and report the good and bad with the same tone in your voice.”

My response... “Fuck you, home courter”. Ropp had one court, apparently, and it’s his own. You were down when you got busted and people still love and support you. That’s how our city rolls. We love our people. Don’t fucking diss is that supported you through your shitty mistake.

It was hypocritcal. Let people be real with their feels. If we can’t be real with our feels of humanity and feeling terrible about an injury and possibly the loss of a career, why should
I feel like he’s sincere about him getting drunk and driving?

That makes him an idiot.

I really liked the two dudes that were on in the morning a few years back. The guys who called us zeros. They actually talked blazers and you could tell they loved the team. Then they replaced them with the talking head cardboard mother fucker. I haven't listened to any of it since then. It's all garbage.

I hated those guys. Total homers.

Better than hypocritical assholes, I suppose.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Isaac and Suke used to be my favorite radio show, in fact I used to record their simulcast on CSN. However, since the passing of Suke’s wife and Ropp’s DUI and inflated ego, I’ve sadly tuned them out. I don’t mind tuning into 620 AM on my drive to and from work though.

I would love to do something big with TBF. Daily podcasts or something would be cool, because I think we could do a better job than most radio shows, especially that one. I wanna compete with those guys.
