How that guy has a radio job is beyond me - his voice is painful to listen to.

Who's that?

Who's that?

Vance - his voice cracks worse than a high school kid.

I think you're confusing him with Canzano.

Given that the Seahawks are in the middle of a play-off run, my response to Vance's statement is "no duh!"

When the NFL season is over, if he ignores the Blazers to take up building bird-houses...then I will worry.

Bringing in Pete Carroll was basically swinging for a homerun.

Bringing in Rich Cho was attempting to bunt a guy over from second to third base.

There may be something in those moves, if you read between the lines.

Building birdhouses on the deck of one of his mega-yachts while a gagle of super-models lounges in binikis.

If he finds that more compelling than the Blazers, then worry. Or, mabye not.

Who is to say Allen losing interest and staying out of the decision making process of the Blazer will hurt the team?

Who would have been your Pete Carroll for Blazer GM this off-season?

How much NFL success did Pete Carroll have before becoming the Seahawks head coach? 33-31 as a head coach in the NFL.

Have you already passed judgment on Rich Cho, even though he was hired after the draft?

I'm primarily looking at the money spent, and the authority given, to each individual. Cho literally had to be led around by Larry Miller to various interviews when he was hired. Miller even answered many of the questions. As far as I know, Carroll has much more authority, a history in both college in the NFL as a winning coach, and isn't being asked to be a Yes Man.

This could also be interpreted as Paul Allen being much MORE interested in the Blazers as well, I suppose, since his GM is basically invisible.

you can slam mixum for starting these stupid threads but Vance is one of the most credible and respected guys in the portland market. dude is right about a lot of stuff, way before anyone else.

On MSP this morning and speculates that its really 50/50 on improve or rebuild. Seems to think it could go either way.

For 2 years it's been going neither way.

I would love Phil Knight to buy the Blazers and have Nike sponser our Rose Garden and make the Blazer locally owned and publically suported!!! Send Paul back to Seattle where he belongs!!!

Allen know shit about hoops and the Vulcan group knows even less!!!
