Tom Penn fired?

[The Sebastian Express]

i wish i was as badass as you are

That guy from the commercial rides horses backwards.

Please, I rebuilt the genetic code of a super crocodile, cloned it and raised it in an egg, and I ride that backwards every day.

While on top of an exploding volcano.

Guy has nothing on me.

What sucks for you, and many others, is that I have heard why. I have no idea if it's true, but it's someone that would know......Not saying they do.



So maybe it's just cause I'm ired after vacation with my kids, or whatever, but all that "deal coming soon" bullshit has got to me.

Everybody here gets busted on sometimes.

I'm on a boat!

As a confirmed old fart, I must say I enjoyed that a lot.

Yeah, if you put yourself out there and then are incorrect you're going to get made fun of - especially if you have a strong personality and are criticizing some other people. Just gotta learn to make jokes about yourself; self-deprecation is a great thing.

I wouldn't say internet 'gangsta'. I am pretty normal. But it is you guys are just such amazing pussies, that it seems I am a 'gangsta'. I bet 90% of you pussies never even hit anyone before.

Just wow. No, you weren't like this before. At all. You were somewhat an enjoyable poster. Now you are completely ignore worthy. What are you trying to prove?

Anyway....moving on.....

I agree 100%! It's about time someone tells these fools what they really are! Hey I've got an idea, go start a thread asking for people to pray for your son again and we'll laugh at all of the pussies that actually do it.

lol i wouldnt bother...he'll be banned soon and you will wanna watch

How can I block BD503?

Left click his user name, then select "view user profile" and it'll take you to his profile. On the middle left side there will be a "users list" and select the drop down of "add user to your ignore list."

The only way you will see him now is if someone quotes him or you select to view his post. I believe there is a firefox plugin that allows you to block anything he does - but it'd include blocking/hiding his created threads so you may miss some good commentary from other users.

 

[oldmangrouch]

BTW, is anybody going to exlain the "crazy wife" comments?

I don't think any of us know except the like two people who alluded to it. We'll have to wait for them to have time or them to stop enjoying the mystique of making cryptic comments.

 

[Natebishop3]

I feel like there is a lot we don't know, and I wish someone would let us in.

What part of redundant do you not understand?

Doesn't that suck when you come back from your vacation more tired than when you left? Wherever you went, I hope you and your family had a good time.

Classic. Repping to commence.

Something happened, and we will probably never know what it was. We will however get some interesting speculation from our local media I am sure.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

From http://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA

Two officials who spent time in last 10 days with Port GM Kevin Pritchard and fired No 2 guy, Tom Penn, spoke of "awkwardness" and "tension"

League sources have been describing unrest in front office for months, centered on Pritchard's inability to get new contract after Penn did.

Pritchard helped Penn leverage Port with Minny job, and sources say GM expected he could get new deal too. Ownership declined, emphatically.

Many believed Penn was destined to run team, but clearly something caused momentum to change lately and Penn lost favor. And his job.

Well, if it was KP versus TP, I'll take KP.

THIS IS GETTING CRAZY!

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

I distrust Woj when he says anything about KP, or Portland for that matter.

 

[illmatic99]

LOL @ Woj and his "sources" hating on KP. That guy is obsessed.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

As do I.

Guess who said this:

First steve and trav. Now Tom. Sad. Smh. =(

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It just wouldn't seem right without any drama.

Awesome.

I'm smh too. What a world.

[BoomChakaLaka]

WTF.. weird. Something must've gone really wrong behind the scenes. Tough for Penn, the guy could've been GM of the Wolves.

Indeed! He "could have been the GM for the Wolves" but the Blazers no doubt begged him to stay? This "after" not playing Raef's expiring contract to the benefit of the team.

So what does this leave us to assume?

I say, he was (again?) meeting secretly with another team - which is no doubt against his contract. There was evidence or proof of this taking place...and he got fired over it!

Which means, we have not heard the end of the tale!

 

[Natebishop3]

Fuck it.... Let's make Woj the new GM, Canzano the new President of Operations, and Dwight Jaynes the coach. See how long the team stays afloat. We could take bets.
