WHAT DID YOU DO, @THE HCP?

I get the TV Broadcast part of it. They did it that way during the Pandemic. But i think Travis Demers needs to be live in the opposing arena, so he can bring the feel of the crowd into the broadcast. That just doesn't make any sense at all.

 

[Haakzilla]

So what, they gonna do it remotely via a live feed? Or we just SOL for road games

Most likely. We will still get our crews doing the games.

To be fair I'm not sure Demers can really convey the 'feel of the crowd' even when in the arena. All in all this is just bad news and another cheap cost cutting measure. Please for the love of God, Jody Allen needs to sell this franchise and get the Vulcans as far away as possible!

@THE HCP , did you cut the cheese too many times on the plane?

As a cheese lover, I am offended!

Does this mean that the mr HCP will not work as much, meaning less income?
Bummer if so.

He will do fine. He worked the Olympics because he's that good.

Hey Kroenke owns the Nuggets, built 5Billion + So FI, and still nickels and dimes Nuggets & Avalanche fans over the cable deal money. They had to find outside sources to watch their games last year.

Still sucks to have income likely planned on, not come in.

Im sure Travis probably likes not having to travel to road games. More time at home w/family. Probably has to take a pay cut however?

i fail to see how that’s ‘fair’

Would you prefer to travel? Do you get hit with a pay cut?

 

[Wade Garrett]

Bad idea.

Why? He still will being doing ALL the games. He just won't get a hotel room & per diem for travel.

 

[Natebishop3]

I really don't like it. This team constantly disappoints me.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

By not actually having Blazer Broadcasting with the team we can now claim all road losses are fake news!

Like this isn’t already a common claim?

Does it affect your earnings either way Travis? I know it affects how you can call a game but other than room and board and transportation does it cut into your earnings or just save the team money from an overhead perspective. I'm sorry to hear about this development for you guys either way.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow if this is true, the blazers are some cheap MFers. Embarrassing

 

[AldoTrapani]

How about telling us if this is true or not Travis. That’s what you need to response to

 

[Phatguysrule]

Jody, please sell this team to Phil Knight.

PLEASE

He can if he wants but he doesn't need to.

 

[Hoopguru]

Possibly wont, but many jobs that require substantial travel the compensation package reflects the job description. Since he's not calling on customers and such?

 

[Hoopguru]

Calabro Im sure like the idea of not crazy travel.

 

[julius]

I wonder if this is going to become common place among sports teams.

 

[Cugel]

wow so lame. Just lame. When your owner isn't even a sports fan whadya expect? So out of touch.

 

[HailBlazers]

Calabro Im sure like the idea of not crazy travel.

My multiple sources say it was his decision.
