Like many of you out there, I'm limited in my ability to see the Blazers play this season. Since I'm in an area not serviced by Comcast, I don't have a chance to see them play unless they're on TNT or KGW.

I've joined the Blazer Free Access Coalition, but it appears their effort is just getting lipservice from those in power. I'm sure my few thousand dollars not spent with their sponsors means little to them, but it's my only recourse at the moment.

My question to you is, "Will the streak make a difference?"

With more and more people interested in the team, you'd think that Comcasat would be bending over backward to get their sponsors into homes while the interest is there. Conversely, Comcast might see themselves with sole monopoly control over a product that's in demand and hold out for the max deal. So, which side of the roof will this egg fall on? Or will it just sit there and spoil?
