Who will the Blazers hire to replace the Mikes?

[SlyPokerDog]

Nate keeps asking why guys would want to give up a national gig for a regional gig. I know I'm behind the camera, but I did. I got tired of working for ESPN/TNT all the

You always crack me up sir.

Hmmm...

 

[MickZagger]

Matt 'I live in my mothers basement' Vasgersian and Van Earl Wright.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Come on guys. Calabro and payton is the choice to make.

Calabro is great. Payton can be hilarious. And it gives them the seattle connection.

Lots of oregonians that love payton because of the oregon state connection. Lillard and payton have the oakland connection. And we are trading for a 2nd rounder to take gp2

 

[Natebishop3]

I want Dale Davis. That guy cracked me up.

omg... that's a blast from the past...

Is that the guy who would say "Deep...... over the left center field wall" whenever anyone hit a home run? Oh man.

 

[HailBlazers]

I would totally be down with Smitty.

Knowledge of the game - Check
Great commentary - Check
Former Blazer - Check

He's always spoken highly about Portland.

Him and Steve Kerr would be great.

Steve and Steve to replace Mike and Mike. Get it done Paul.

Blazers official twitter account posting picture of Brandon Roy game winner.

So Calabro and Roy, which is complete garbage, will be the choices

Fuck

I don't get the fear of the Sonics slant at all...they're a dead franchise that couldn't even build an arena.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I doubt Steve Smith would give up living in Atlanta.

Kevin Calabro and some guy we've never heard of.

I've never heard of Kevin Calabro.

If the Blazers want to expand, I have no issue with it. We already have fans all over the world, so it's not like it's "new".

Speaking of, you see that there is a sort of documentary type thing coming out about him. looks pretty good too.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Besides following Calabro, McGowan just started following Steve Martin.

Yeah, Bill S. Preston, Esquire, from Bill and Ted's excellent adventure is making it. They did a kickstarter campaign to fund it. Can't wait.

They were also selling Frank's house, and everything in it, to raise money. You can take the tour on line. It's only $9mil.

 

[BBert]

Anyone know when they are holding the S2 tryouts for the Blazers color commentator position?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Besides following Calabro, McGowan just started following Steve Martin.

I was one of the few that loved it when MNF added Dennis Miller to the booth. He would ask questions in the booth that laymen like the rest of us would want to ask, and made brilliant smart ass comments.

I'd love for the Blazers to have a three person team with a play by play guy, color guy and a comedian asking questions and pointing out observations on the floor

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Calabro it is.

I read his book and would love to see a documentary on him. A really underrated musical genius of my generation

Calabro. Can we lock the thread now since there's like 4 of them or so already on this?

I'm a fan of the Lamar Hurd hire so far. I'll wait until I hear him during game action before I fully come around, but he's got my support so far.
