Rumor New Blazer tv deal down to Root Sports and Fox?

[santeesioux]

I wonder if they could buy-out the last year of their Comcast deal?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Our long Blazer nation nightmare is almost over.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Fox Sports is terrible.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Fox sucks. They are going to need a lot of help once the ufc leaves them soon.

 

[santeesioux]

Fox Sports is terrible.

Root Sports is pretty boring because all it plays is Mariners stuff and paid programming, I'm sure adding Blazer stuff would make it not as shit.

What would happen to CSN Northwest btw, would it just cease to exist with the only thing people care about leaving?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

They do good with Nascar. I'd like to see HCP manning the Digger Cam.

How does anyone this far north know what a "digger cam" is?

Everything is just so damn formulaic, the music, the intros, the outros. Just totally souless and impersonal, broadcasts are indisguinishable from one another from city to city.

Roots Sports would be interesting. The Timbers and Blazers would be on one channel. Timbers fans would commit hari kari if there is a scheduling conflict.
I agree though... Fox Sports sucks.

And Comcast is much better? Their set looks like public access tv shit

 

[BigGameDamian]

Good! This will cripple Comcrap.

Lol, "cripple"

 

[<-=*PdX*=->]

The one good thing fox sports does is they allow you to stream your regional sports channel on their app. Csn nor root do this.

Are you sure it would be the Timber fans that would be sad?

[BBert]

This is great news. If true.

Sign me up.

Unless Carlesimo is the color commentator.

Why is life so fucking hard!

 

[BBert]

Please let it be Brent Barry.

Do you see this McGowan? For the love of God DONT MAKE US LISTEN TO PJ CARLESIMO!!!!!

Or Brandon Roy. I'd rather listen to fingernails on a chalkboard.

Did you read Casey's interview with Calabro?

Well my guess is the Trail Blazers would get preference because of the ratings.... but IDK how the contracts are written up.

Did you read Casey's interview with Calabro?

The team also wants Calabro to play a role in choosing who he’ll be paired up with in the broadcast booth. McGowan said that they are in the process of “developing a short list in collaboration with Kevin” with the hope of hiring a replacement for Mike Rice by the end of the summer. Calabro, who has most recently worked alongside of Hall of Famers Dr. Jack Ramsay and Hubie Brown said he didn’t have any specific candidates, though he knows traits he’s looking for.

“Obviously somebody that can match the energy level night in, night out, that’s right there with me,” said Calabro. “Somebody that is seeing all the nuances of the game. Somebody that’s watching the game within the game, because when you’re the play-by-play announcer, for the most part, your eye is on the ball. Wherever the ball goes, your eyes are wandering with the ball, you try to develop peripheral vision and be able to see the entire floor and so forth. That’s where your analyst really needs to be your key guy. He’s your eyes off of the ball, ball and man. He’s going to be able to paint the picture and pick up anything that you did not pick up in the initial call to add. That’s why they call them ‘color.’ You’re adding little elements that fill in the picture for folks when you’re doing the play-by-play.”

Yeah I read that one. And I disagree two high energy guys is the way to go. You need balance. Like Smitty or Brent.

That sounds nice, I've also noticed Root Sports is nowhere to be seen on the internet tv options, like Playstation Vue and the tv thing Hulu is starting.

If they are really serious about expanding their brand, there HAS to be a streaming/app option available. Don't leave people out like the clowns at Comcast and make it something that has a partnership with DirectTV for goodness sake.
