Only better news I could think of is a new CBA!

Careful what you wish for. God help us, but his replacement could be even worse.

His final game as a ref in a Blazers game included the biggest single giftwrapped call he ever gave to any team. I wonder if he knew before he made the call that this was his last chance to make things right after years of being a total jackwagon.

that wasn't Javie.

I knew someone was going to say that.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I think in his last few years he mellowed a bit and stop calling games like he was holding a grudge.

Indeed; I was pretty pleased with how even he called games over the last couple of seasons.

I will not be happy until Joey Crawfish retires.

Javie was far from the worst, especially lately. The chances his replacement is BETTER, is not very high.

Oh, and Ed Malloy can suck it too.
