Portland sports radio

[Natebishop3]

For the 100th time... they never claim to be an in depth sports and especially a Blazer show. They spend just as much time talking about guy stuff then they do sports. So if it's not your cup of tea then simply dont listen.

Was what I said wrong? They don't know anything about the team.

I'm saying it's extremely lazy and borders on malpractice to put in ZERO effort to know anything about the only major pro team in their city. There is a vast gulf between what Danny knows about the Blazers and what Isaac knows about the Blazers.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

That's your own fault. You should have chosen to listen to the Blazers draft show that was on Rip City Radio. You had a better option if you wanted more in depth knowledgeable draft coverage.

Is that the one that Canzano and Steven Vaughan were on? I listened to that one too.

I usually don't listen to the radio for draft coverage. I was driving 300 miles with kids and a wife in the car with me.

That still doesn't defeat the thought that I thought those guys sucked.

Also reread what I said, I said not even in a basketball knowledge way. I wasn't scouring for stats and analytics. I just wanted to know the picks.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Also, these guy don’t make more than $40,000 a year….no way. Guess you guys are kinda stuck with what you got.

Isaac and Suke do very well for themselves. Your guess isnt even remotely close.

Yeah for some reason they're successful. I don't get it personally, but whatever. I like to listen to sports talk on a sports talk radio show..... go figure.

That's the thing fans dont get. They want certain radio heads to act how they want. But sometimes how they want might not draw ratings. We have seen that in media across all platforms.

They should just change it to 1080 Man Talk radio.

A full time minimum wage job in Portland presuming full time hourly pay would pay >$30k a year.

HCP definitely pulled that number out of his bum. I’d figure they probably make close to or at/slightly above 6 figures a year.

HCP could do a 3 hour magic show with all the shit he pulls out of his ass on a regular basis.

And you think after listening to those people, you come away with more knowledge about the team…..or you just enjoy hearing other’s opinions. Because I’m telling you, it’s no different than people on here posting what they THINK about what’s going on.

I do like an array of opinions of which I’ll decide what to digest. Danny does know more day to day happenings given his access to the team. I know you have quit a bit as well but for obvious reasons can’t share. I do tire on a lot of the posts here that think they are a fly on the wall of Joe’s office and know what moves shoulda and coulda been made.

Issac has admitted on air multiple times that he drinks far less than he ever has, so thats a you problem.

Nah, you drink and drive and that's an everyone problem.

 

[Strenuus]

I didn't say they don't talk about them. I said they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Try again.

I would, but itd be the same.

 

[Natebishop3]

You just making shit up?

 

[Strenuus]

So people who change their lives to be better at not putting people at risk, and do right to make amends, should just be shunned because of one dui that shaped them to learn from their mistakes?

That's a you problem.

I would never!

I'm all about second chances...but you shouldn't need one for a DUI--that's common sense and pure selfishness. That isn't a lesson you need to "learn" from a mistake...anyone above the age of 10 knows you shouldn't do that.

Just turned on the World Series of Poker final table. Looks like this has been going on for hours. These two announcers have run out of anything to say. And it's not like poker is that exciting of a sport to watch. They're doing accents, making up fake bios on the players, this is so sad that it's f'ing hilarious.

No matter how bad you think our local radio guys are, that's a tough job to come out with shit to talk about every day.

It's tough to come up with shit every day.... if you're lazy. There is a TON of stuff to talk about if you can talk about all sports. I used to write a short article about THE WARRIORS every fucking day. THE WARRIORS..... when they sucked. TRY THAT!

I used to have to come up with shit about Udonis Haslem and Drew Gooden every day. We provided content for their official web pages.... BACK WHEN PLAYERS HAD THEIR OWN WEB PAGES!

I actually find poker a lot of fun to watch. I think the announcers do a good job generally.

Jenifer Tilly and her Irish boyfriend are fun to watch ...she's fun to watch anyway but she's won a few championships ..and she knows how to distract a crowd. There are some great youtube clips of her winning big pots. I watched her win a 450k+ pot the other day in a youtube short..

damn you're old.

 

[BonesJones]

I like Chad more than our other options.

I could not stand listening to Isaac and suke during the draft. They really fell off a cliff.

Don't care for Danny.

I don't really like listening to Blazer Surprise buddy either.

I know lots of people hate him and I've heard the stories about him, but I like Canzano's voice on the radio.

Who's Blazer Suprise buddy?

 

[BonesJones]

Danny has far too many unnamed sources that are used to support his opinion. Nobody wants to go on the record or even on the show? He tries to portray himself as the Blazers' Woj. But when Woj dropped a bomb, it was actually happening. Danny tries to drop a bomb after the fact to make ridiculous claims about things that could have happened but never did.

He is very good at analyzing stats to support his opinion. Sometimes he takes it way too far, using outliers to prop up something that just isn't accurate. And then he'll use an unnamed source to validate a position he created from massaged stats.

While I don't listen to him often, I've never recalled him breaking any sports news. Yet after the fact, he claims that insiders told him it was going to happen.

"I talked to a dozen players/GMs/executives..."

Brad Owen is one of my favorites to watch.

Rampage sucks so bad at the game that I just click to see if he lost another quarter of a million and he does lol.

I love Daniel negraneau but his vlog sucks.

Neeme is pretty good.

But bang for your buck Owen is the best of the bunch. Talks through his strategy really well and his dry humor can sometimes fly by with his very dry way of talking. Smart as hell about the game though.

They're two YouTube guys that post here sometimes, here's they're website

BlazerSurprise

I believe they do a 17 hour stream after every game.

Steven. Seems like a nice enough guy, just not someone I like to listen to on the radio.

Personally I like listening to you amd crushables speak more than him.

Yeah. Negreanu has been one of my favorites to watch for the past two decades. I also liked Gus Hansen back in the day.

I like watching up and comers. Here are a couple.

We were so spoiled in the early to mid 2000s with poker my god.

Hansen
Asfandiari
Matasou
Hellmuth (who pretty much was a gut player, though hes adapted well finally to the new style, had his struggles in the beginning of the new style for sure)
Negranau
Ivey
Brunson

All the poker shows (after dark, loose cannon, etc).

I dont get much into the new stuff as much, its a bit too polished, but I enjoy a couple of the vlogs.
