Oregonlive calls Lillard & CJ Trash Brothers

[illmatic99]

As for Skip, the fact that ANYONE cares what this guy says anymore is beyond me. He's a time filler, that's all! He fills the air with his idiotic comments and flip flops all over the place. The sooner people understand him for what he is, not as a trusted journalist or opinion maker, but as a used car salesman trying to get you to buy into his words, then the better.

I've never seen this level of vitriol towards Dame though. It's completely unprompted and unwarranted. I'd get it if Dame did something to the guy, but this is just pure hate. Not used to this.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I believe it was Tim Brown. his response was basically "sorry you got your panties in a bunch".

I think this is way too sensitive. Round-ups of what media and memes are circulating are fairly common in sports sections these days. When I've looked for what's being said in other cities, I've seen similar things. It's not a big deal and the Oregonian is right both in spirit as well as by the letter when they say that they're not calling Lillard and McCollum "trash brothers."

Bullshit. There’s no reason other than hate to republish this vile, unsupportable slander. Damian has been playing with a separated rib for over 2 weeks and the team is in the WCF despite losing their 3rd best player and starting center before the playoffs started.

Bayless is a nobody whose only claim to fame is his well-documented homophobia.

Fuck Tim Brown.

His profile after the OKC shot has never been higher, the target on his back never bigger. Pretty quick turn around from media darling to punching bag, but the fall from grace story sells better than the ascent to greatness story.

I don't know why anybody is surprised by this. The Oregonian has becomes a click-bait whore and has been that for years

as a UofO alum and a Duck fan I'm well aware of the trashy direction that rag will always go. They consistently slant any Duck stories with negative headlines and negative takes because they know it generates traffic. I'd love it if the Blazers locked out OLive reporters for a while, but the Blazers probably don't need a war with the local rag.

fuck OLive

Goes hand-in-hand with their coverage of the Parkrose gun-on-campus incident on Friday, quickly transitioning from "School in lockdown" to "Former UO football player saves the day!" mode once Lowe's involvement was brought to light.

Looks like a guy who can't play a sport let alone commentate on it...

Un-athletic MF...

The front office of the Blazers definitely tries to control the local media. They've locked out people/companies for a lot less than this.

Now if that headline criticized Olshey then they'd be locked out for sure, ha ha.

I hope Joe Freeman doesn't get punished for this shit. Good guy, good writer.

 

[Road Ratt]

I really like the evilness of the meme, it makes absolutely no sense at all though.

Damian played game 3 against the Warriors with a separated rib and... didn't cry once.

Case closed.

Here is the private conversation i had with John Canzano about this.
I sent a tweet hammering O-Live past and present.

   Glad to hear that John. Tearing the heart out of Blazer fans is not really a move i would endorse right now. Do changes need to be made? Probably. But Dame is off limits. Now Stotts is another story. Even the mess Olshey has created cap wise is suspect. Blazer fans at least at this point will draw the line at Damian Lillard.

   Bottom line... just thought it was a cheap shot. Groaned when I saw it. Even if someone else said it what was the gain?

Canazano can go fuck himself, fucking hypocrite. Cheap shots and click-bait are all he does.

Now Tokito chiming in.

 

[wizenheimer]

did anybody else notice in that tweet thread above that KD Lang chimed in? I forgot she reportedly is living in Portland...IIRC?

Where did you see that? I clicked on the tweet to open it up, but didnt see her.

Anybody can find troll material. We do not need the Oregonian retweeting it, especially in the way they did it. Definitely looks like that was their take.

Seriously, there are just too many guys that have platforms to spew hate. Have hated Bayless for years. Heard a guy on the radio saying Kyle Lowry was a loser during the Philly series. Flipped the channel and will not listen if he is on.

Enjoy the game but realize it is still just a game.

I’m a Statesman Journal kinda guy anyway.

 

[BlayZa]

It's literally the Oniongonian these days

 

[Shaboid]

The last time I remember going to OLive was back in high school when I wanted to talk shit to the rival football players we were facing that week. Really all that place has ever been good for. What a disgrace to our great state and the team that works their ass of to actually represent it with class.

 

[Orion Bailey]

I said fuck them when they stopped the rose festival hidden treasure hunt.
Fuck them.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Keanon Lowe at the game. Huge ovation.

 

[Haakzilla]

...what kind of website should I create to mock them and start the boycotts statewide?! (NOTE: serious question, not asking for a friend )

 

[Mediocre Man]

They didn't.

They quoted a National writer, but whatever gets you through the night

They did. They wrote the tweet that went out. You don't get a personal response from JC if he doesn't know they did and it was wrong.

[blue9]

They ain't wrong. BUT - the local paper should know better. What's sad is I can't boycott something I don't currently buy - Fuck The Oregonian always and forever!

Goddamn I wish this site had a downvote feature.
