Very Insightful Look Into Brandon Roy's Struggles Since Basketball

[The Professional Fan]

It's Fake bro. He is not a homer. He says things to keep his job yes. Quick is all about Quick.

He is not employed by the Blazers in any capacity so this makes zero sense.

 

[Propagandist]

Here you go @AldoTrapani . This is your "Homer" buddy at work. For anyone that thinks Jason Quack is some major Blazer fan.....

Do you guys remember when Nurk caught the elbow to the mouth? Ya know- he lost his front teeth/implant. This was shitheads tweet after that.




Cruise through the replies to it. Yeah, he pissed some people off, and rightfully so. He's a bitch punk, looking out for himself. Always has been.

I once despised Quick, literally clumped him in with Canzano. But listening to the podcast and reading his Athletic articles has 100% changed my mind. He is talented and insightful and now--I mean, I disagree that Nurk isn't tough and I actually confronted him for panning a restaurant in a tweet that went out over B/R--he hands down has the best articles on the Blazers. No one else even comes close at all.

And to defend his prior work, which I didn't like at the time, perhaps some of it was true--like maybe LA was a prima donna and Gerald Wallace was a malcontent and so forth--and I just didn't want to hear it at the time. Or maybe he is human and now he has refined his craft. I respect that you are an you're-either-in-or-out guy, but you're missing some good Blazer content because of your stance. Also, Quick clearly isn't that kind of guy, but does he need to be? And he clearly cares about this team and these guys, especially Dame...

All you have to do is look at what he said about CJ.

I remember that so well because I sided with CJ. I mean, I was stunned. I despised Quick then and thought it was just more of the same. But strangely, ever since that tweet, I've noticed that CJ is pretty dirty.

WHAAAAT?! That's possible? My head asplode!

Clueless is all i can say.

The guy doesn't spend 17-18 years being a douchebag and then just magically change.

Are you reading his articles? They are great.

 

[Propagandist]

I'm kind of thinking maybe he wasn't a douchebag is what I'm saying. Sheed didn't like him, but Sheed was a difficult dude to get along with (ask all referees). Maybe I need to go back and read some of the older articles, but I too was a fuck Quick guy (lol). I don't know. Just read the articles now; like I've said before, they are great. You will find no better insight into your team, period.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

The ones I've read since he's gone to the Athletic have been excellent, I agree.

I wonder if his style, his shtick, his persona while with the GoryOnion was partially (primarily?) at the behest of his employer. The stark contrast between his work then and now seems suggestive of that to me.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Not going to pay to read the article, but I am curious about what’s going on with Roy. Why is he having nightmares? And what is he doing for a job these days? Last I heard he was coaching a high school team.

He has nightmares primarily because he was shot a few years ago.

He is coaching at his alma matter, Garfield High School. He has won two state championships as a coach, one with Garfield in 2018 and one with Nathan Hale High School in 2017. He was also named the Naismith National High School Coach of the Year in 2017.

 

[oldmangrouch]

His life has been a tangled story, that's for sure.

Has a coach who builds everything around him/doesn't like him.
Becomes a NBA star/loses it prematurely to injury.
Makes 10 of millions/loses it to divorce.
Has spectacular success as a newly minted coach/gets shot for unexplained reasons.

I do feel sympathy for him. I just wish he understood what he meant to the team and the fans.

 

[Natebishop3]

We should not retire Roy's jersey. I'm sorry. Numbers shouldn't be retired based on emotions. There are already way too many numbers hanging in the rafters that don't belong there.

Cj is dirty? Wow your fucked up. Cj has never done anything wrong what he do to you ?

It's worth $5.

no its not. No article is worth a five dollar read. If it was in print in a paper or magazine maybe.

think about this. 10,000 people pay five dollars to read the article. 50k for one article??????

i wont support a rip off offer.
He already gets paid a salary.

I was starting how much the monthly price for the athletic is...?

which is where he posted the article correct?

im sure im in the minority but i believe information should be free.
I believe it will remove most opinion based articles trying to win over a sect of the population and lead to more honest, unbiased views and reports.
Just not a fan of paying to read an article.
Let me read the article and if i like it i will then subscribe. But don't make me pay just to see if i will like the article.
Kinda like what you do.

“Check me out. If you like it, please donate. “

thats the right way in my opinion and i hope you personally don't change that.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Where would you pay just $5 for it?

I signed up for a free trial and immediately cancelled it so I'm not gonna pay anything, but the only payment option I saw was to be billed $59.99 annually.

even worse!!! I thought it was a one time five dollar fee but its a reaccuring charge of five dollars a month?

sorry. Ask if I'm willing to donate that. Don't force me to pay it.

and im not a quick hater. Just a realist with my money and how the media works.

Yeah you will get to pay for it and still get hit with ads in some form or another.

Jaynes responds to Quick
And you don't have to pay for it.

 

[kjironman1]

Jaynes responds to Quick
And you don't have to pay for it.

Ha Ha Ha!
And Quick returns with this!

 

[kjironman1]

The funniest part is Quick was just an up and comer looking for crumbs when Jaynes had the real story.
Now People think Quick has the real deal and Jaynes is an outsider. Could not be further from the truth.

 

[illmatic99]

Listen to this: https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=a...Ewjs57LNwJLnAhUMCc0KHS7nDYgQjrkEegQIBRAE&ep=6

The way BRoy answers his questions shows you how good Quick is.

Holy hell, this is some kinda warped reality we're living in to have this kinda opinion.

His thinking is right on the money. IMHO, yours isn't....

This is a bit out of topic - but this idea stands against the entire idea of capitalism as we know it. If information is free - there are no patents, no-one can have a unique way of doing stuff - it is a gateway to communism right there.

Information is not free, how the legal owner chooses to share it is up to them - and as a consumer you can vote with your hard-earned money anyway you want. If their business model does not work - they will either cease to be or change it - but the very idea that private concern's information should be free is rather un-capitalistic, imho.

Because capitalism as a way to transfer information is such a good way to go.

What is inside patents is “just information”. Should that be given away for free as well?

Capitalism has issues but so does every economic model.

Patents are original ideas. Not knowledge already printed or known. Of course someone should get paid for an INVENTION. I should not get paid for printing and selling someone else's invention on some website. I see the difference. Do you?

Libraries are free. The people who invented items discussed in books in a library got paid via the patent.

So in your opinion, people with less money should not have access to knoweldge people with money have? I think that is a much worse long term idealogy than having all knowledge free. Not inventions. knowledge.

If it is already printed, it is not an issue - you can get it from there.

If it is not known - somebody worked to get this info, organize it, publish. It is their prerogative to decide how to be compensated for this work. It is their original work. There is no difference imho, they can choose how to be compensated for their work, otherwise, communism.

Libraries aren't 'free'. Your tax dollars pay for them. In theory, a library could decide to provide Jason Quick's articles as just as well as a book on naval warfare in WWII.

Why shouldn't publishers get paid? Do you think that publishers don't need to eat? Or do you think publishing is worthless?

What about other services? Do you think janitors shouldn't get paid? They certainly aren't inventing anything. They didn't build the bathroom, or the toilet.
