Admittedly I haven't been around much for the last 2 or so years but why is everyone so grumpy on this board lately?!? Canzano sounds like a poor man's Jim Rome, we see Greg standing outside of a bar instead of chained to a weight machine 24/7, and Paul Allen may or may not want to rehire KP, so what!
Canzano may be wrong sometimes but that's what gets people listening and calling in. If you only want the Blazer company line instead of alternative opinions you can just listen to Courtside! Canzano makes me mad sometimes too but you can't deny he cares about Portland, the team, and the fans.
Greg may not be in the gym every waking moment but is a normal young adult who likes to go out sometimes (plus it's the off season and he didn't even have a drink in his hand). Seriously?!? It's totally legal and normal for a 20 something kid! He signed a contract with the Blazers and is paid by the Blazers, not us. He owes us NOTHING. We've had to deal with players getting caught smoking a doobie driving down I-5, another star player missing a game for "bereavement leave" and spotted in a strip club, a convicted sex offender, etc.
Paul Allen, yes, weird, strange, makes odd decisions but it's his money and he's taking all the financial risk (and usually losing money on the team). He may do things people don't agree with but it's obvious that he's doing everything he can think of (and pay for) to get a championship. There are some really horrible professional sports franchise owners but we've got one of the best. This isn't just a business to him, it's a passion for him.
Lighten up people... ultimately it just a game and is for entertainment purposes only. It's supposed to be FUN!
