when is this guy going to get fired? I can't stand listening to him or looking at his face. He's so lame and needs to just move on and go some place else. I know I can't be the only one who can't stand the guy.

I know....
the rest of the Blazer brand is at a very high level right now, but then the halftime and post game seem like public access.
I'll stick by T-LUFT's side.
Tony Luftman makes Michael Holton. I honestly don’t mind that little fella.
Rip City REVIVAL
Yup
When you look at what’s on sports radio in Portland, Luftman is like a way better person to listen to and stuff.

Now that is true.
I’d rather listen to Tony than John Canzano. I’d still like to see the “Tell em’ what they’ve won” slogan go.

The first half!
That joke is awesome. I guess I don’t hate them as much as most people because I fast forward through half time. I actually get more irritated with the way Rebecca Harlow talks out the side of her mouth like Cher.

The only reason I’d want to get with her is to get good Blazers tickets.
So I’m going to leave my words uneaten thank you very much.
wow.
Somebody defend me right now because i feel like i might be the only one who thinks rebecca haarlow is beautiful. Like pretty much the most beautiful thing related to the Blazer’s organization. Other than Ike Diogu. That guy’s a HAWTIE!!
Rip City REVIVAL
dude...
Rudy and Batum are sooo much hotter than Ike. not even close.
Greg Oden, where posters happen.
She's not ugly ...
but something about her face just seems weird, though I can’t pinpoint really what it is. Anyone else think so?
It's kind of a Reese Witherspoon thing.
You know, how at certain angles Reese’s face looks like it got smashed flat by the Oxford English dictionary.
Rebecca has that same kind of interesting hot-to-some look. Sorta like Hillary Swank.

Reese
I had a gf once who resembled Reese Witherspoon when I was in school..now as an adult she finds herself in jail for a drunken kick to a policeman’s privates.
The thing with Rebecca is her face is very square. Very unique look. I think she’s attractive, but not a super-hottie.
Rebecca Haarlow is pure sex on hardwood.
true B-Edgers should defend her to the death.

I'll never be able to watch the pre-game and halftime shows again...
…without calling him Tanooki Luftman. Thank you for that.
Luftman has been decent when I've heard him on the radio
But I really, really, really, sincerely URGE him to stop giggling so much, especially when nothing funny has happened, and to please please please stop the “tell them what they’ve won” thing. You are forcing a catchphrase, and forced catchphrases come across as just that, and no one likes them.
I think Luftman can be redeemed, but he hasn’t earned the right to have a insidery giggle fest over nothing. Neither guy is funny enough to carry a show loosely like that, and they need to keep it more traditional with less emphasis on trying to be snappy and funny, when neither host is suited for that.
When Holton was just with Bob Akamian (I think that’s his name, the producer guy?), it was much less giggly and catchphrasey. They talked about the game, didn’t laugh at every fart they burped up, and gave analysis and not cliched one liners.
And on the radio, Luftman has been more natural and composed.
You can only do the giggly “we’re having fun, have fun with us” after you earned it, or if you are funny.
I wanna like our halftime team, but they make it tough. Please, no more catchphrases. I am very correct on this, 100%. I know you want a breezy, natural, comfortable and hip vibe from Holton and Luftman, but it is still coming off forced. Scale it back, stick to the business, stop giggling like you got an inside joke going on, and let the rest come naturally.
Please. I know of what I speak. And I know someone is reading this, who is involved with the production. Like I said, we WANT to like you, but don’t try to make us like you.
On this, all depends.

See, those are the exact reasons I like them.
They are so corny, you just have to laugh. I used to think they were high all the time (especially Tony) but on further investigation, his eyes don’t seem that red. Visine maybe?

I should add
I do not want either guy to lose their job, they just need to tweak their approach.
Wanting them to lose their job is both mean and drastic, as both should have the chance to right the ship. They can do it, they just gotta not force it and think of it as a show being watched nationally, and not a community access/local news type unprofessional giggle fest.
And at the same time, just because you’re trying to make it a show worthy of national attention, don’t try to make it like ESPN, where their anchors always have catch phrases. Let them do what they do, and you guys find how you do it— and until you NATURALLY find your approach, bring it back to the basics and stop forcing the issue.
But I don’t want anyone fired. That’d suck.

because in order
for everyone’s true feelings to come out, you gotta see his face and be reminded of all the terrible catch phrases and lame one liners.

Holton & Golliver - boutique law firm
Holton: Unfortunately Roy is still injured.
Golliver: But luckily Bayless plays amazing and Roy looks so good on the bench. Always wears something you have never seen. And look at the fine leather of those kicks.
Oh, got an idea for a new monthly BE column: Ben photographs Rebecca’s shoes and outfits, and Sophia writes a critique analyzing how well those went with her makeup and the color of the home team.

i don’t think she’s worn anything but Black Red and White.

Have pritchard work out a way to convince him he’s better as a host than a player. I love his personality and would hate to see him go, but I understand he won’t get a ton of PT in the future here.
We went like this, he went like that. I say to Hollywood: Where'd he go? Hollywood says: where'd who go?
Maybe when he retires?

but honest to pete HonestPete, Rebecca Haarlow is pretty hot to me. Her basketball journalism skills, I don’t think of them much. I figure she’s just the pretty face on the sideline. I have no problem with Tony either. Sort of like Mario Lopez. It’s no big deal, he is just filler.
