Press Pass for the forum

[BBert]

Sly I've talked to you a couple times about this so I would be down. Since we all get to watch the game....

Umm...what?

 

[dviss1]

I would love to participate and give a ref's perspective.

Nice. You do that here, and I appreciate it.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Ditto. It's amazing the breadth of things you can pick up here.

(Not a mrs HCP joke)

You're a ref!!!??? That explains EVERYTHING!

[BBert]

Even refs are more popular than Comcast. Just sayin'.

You'd be great at this but I really would like to see you help the Blazers by taking Scott Foster's job

 

[BlazerWookee]

I think the content wouldn't even need to be just about the on-the-floor action. I'd be interested in reading about the awe and excitement of one's first-time access experience, reviews of facilities and amenities, observations on specific fan behaviors, reactions to in-game and halftime music/entertainment, interaction with/between entrenched media talent, etc.

 

[Denny Crane]

I spoke with our contacts with the Blazers and this is almost certain to happen guys.

This thread was a huge part of it.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

HUGE. We are right in the THICK of things. This is certainly JUICY.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

We should chip in and buy a ceremonial press hat. We'll be the COCK of the walk on press row. :MARIS61:

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Also, bring back the PODCAST bros.

 

[Denny Crane]

Press passes for road games are dicey, but we are going to try.

 

[PCmor7]

Being a card-carrying member of US Basketball Writers since the 1990s, I would be happy to. However, being several thousand miles east of Portland means press row is going to have to be made a lot longer.

Awesome. Thanks for doing the footwork!

TBPup and I are setting it up now. If anyone wants to get involved let me know. We are planning for the first episode this Sunday.

I agree! Everybody can see what's going on out on the court, it's the behind the scenes, media room stuff that people would be interested in.

The HCP should be a guest again. That was most likely your highest rated show right?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Sweet. Great job Denny and Sly. This should be a treat.

I literally just got all those messages, I just checked my old phone. I have a new number. I'd like to be involved again, but maybe in a smaller capacity/3rd guy/maybe learn some production stuff. I'm booked always through Thursday. but weekends work. PM me, perhaps?

Yes please. Let me know what I can tape for you.

PJ and I were wondering what had happened to you. I texted several times...glad you found this thread. Looking forward to the Podcast this weekend. Working on research and content this week.

Happy to do a write up for a game as well.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I see how it is, no one texts me.

My appearance fee has now doubled.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

So, what is it now? 4 boxes of twinkies and 2 pounds beef jerky per appearance?

And 2 bottles of strawberry Boones Farm.

 

[jlprk]

How much free food & beer do we get? Do we get bragging rights over HCP? What about the post-game interview?...Is there any limit on the questions I have to answer?

About a half-dozen posters here have ever shown technical knowledge (not me). Brian from WA, Nikolopolus...those are the guys to get this privilege many games per season. The rest, a lot fewer games per season.
