What's up with all the Jason hate? I never got it. He's not inept or a schmuck.
Portlanders are relatively sedate.
For me it dates back to the $amon - Sheed period. He was supposed to be a reporter, but he acted like a 'journalist'. Every article dripped with melodrama and bias. He was one of the main drivers of the intense player scrutiny and anti-Blazers crusade of the time. He is seemingly incapable of not making the story about him. Everything he writes reads like a novella for pre-teen girls. Yep, he's still on my shit list.
This.
I'm guessing it's just the opposite. Comcast is probably tired of replacing this position. And they might have like quick because he is likely to stay for a period of time.
To a god-forsaken city, it seems. First Haynes to Cleveland, then Young (back) to San Antonio.
You and the few who LIKED this post have never met him have you?
Just an old man's conjecture but.....I think where JQ went wrong....though I believe his intentions were good....was when he started his "Behind The Locker Room Door" feature...or whatever he called it. I remember thinking at the time, "Just how naive...or egotistical...is this guy??" He actually thought he could bring the fans the "real inside stuff"", through some magical filter that would leave the players, management and fans all happy and satisfied. Yes, he thought he was smarter than everyone else....and maybe even their equal. And when it didn't work out that way, when players and management used him and lied to him for their own ends, he ended up jaded and bitter. In other words, he f**ked up. He trusted. Personally, I feel like he's maybe learned his lesson and is working his way back to being a professional again. But then, what do I know. I'm a very long time and cheap Blazer whore. I'll take any Blazer news and info I can get as long as it's fresh and has a tinge of truth to it.....
