You can't make up for what you did, Mister!

Lol, but I believe Quick's editor is the one who comes up with the titles.

 

[Stevenson]

There's a good chance he didn't write that headline. I have an editor who creates all of my headlines for my columns (many of which I really don't like.)

And let me just say, I don't get all of the Quick hate. Canzano yes is a grandstander who thinks he is the subject of every story, but Jason seems to me to be a hard working, decent reporter.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Quick is WAY worse than Canzano. I believe Quick invents things and makes himself a part of the story. He's absolutely horrible and atrocious. While Canzano likes to stir up controversy, I believe Jason Quick has a vendetta against the Portland Trailblazers for some reason and salivates at their self-destruction.

 

[PCmor7]

Yeah, typically it's an editor writing the headlines. They might ask for a suggested headline. A lot of papers are moving toward a universal copy desk, so the person who laid out this page out and wrote the headline might not even have a clue who LaMarcus Aldridge is.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Oregonian has been making cutbacks. Looks like proof reading was one of those. Still waiting for Canzano to go.

 

[maxiep]

The players are the story, not the reporters/columnists.

How does that get past an editor?

 

[BlazerBeav]

It's one thing for a type to be in the article, but the lead headline on the front of the sports page? Embarrassing.

Meh. I still hold a very old grudge against Quick from the $amon / Sheed years, and his inability to write facts about the actual game without making up melodrama about the players. Maybe he's changed, IDK, I don't read him anymore.

As for Canzano, there aren't enough expletives on an air craft carrier to express my hatred.

It was the editor who made the mistake?

 

[riverman]

Maybe it's the photo that they got wrong and the headline was about Cole Adrich

"I was going to re-sign this summer but when the local paper can't even spell my name right I said fuck it, I'm out of here."

 

[BlazerWookee]

"The Oregonian," lol...

 

[riverman]

"I was going to re-sign this summer but when the local paper can't even spell my name right I said fuck it, I'm out of here."

Which is why we never sign players with difficult names anymore...I blame Mike Rice...it hurts everytime he calls Gasol..Kuhsall

 

[KingSpeed]

You've got to be kidding me. What the fuck??

 

[HailBlazers]

You've got to be kidding me. What the fuck??

Seriously, unreal.

 

[kjironman1]

With a big ol grinning Jason Quick right under it. Way Too funny. The very guy that reported it was 50/50 he was leaving...

It's like a cashier who gives you change, and her mistakes are always in her favor. If it were random, the mistakes would be 50-50 in her favor and in your favor.

If it's Quick, he'd never misspell his own name. If it's someone else, he'd misspell Quick's name as often as Aldrige's.

Notice that he didn't misspell Quick's name? That proves that it's Quick.

And in other news from last night...
