TV got me down

 

I know this horse has been beaten into bloody, furry pulp, but the TV (Comcast) situation is driving me mad! Last week I got DirectTV installed at my house. It's the first time in almost 7 years I have had any type of TV service. Don't get me wrong, I was well aware that I wouldn't be able to see most of the Blazer games, but that fact has hit home with a vengeance now that I'm operational.

The worst part of this: I have watched two stinkin' L@ker games start to finish and it makes me feel so dirty.   Meanwhile, the Blazers have played four games I can't watch.

 Comcast/Paul Allen/Whoever-is-at-fault-and-can-fix-the-situation, good god enough is enough!!! I would pay $200 a season to JUST watch the Blazers. Seriously. I think many other hardcore fans would too. Do you not want my money? They don't even offer Comcast where I live. If I have to watch another L@ker game instead of the Blazers, I am going to claw my own eyes out and mail one each to Mr Allen and the CEO of Comcast.

Yeah, that'll show them!

Just be sure to prepare the envelops BEFORE commencing of the clawing of the eyes out. I know it sounds obvious, but sometimes you can get caught up in the heat of the moment and get ahead of yourself, and then you’d be in a real predicament. In fact, I would recommend performing the operation at a post office so someone can assist you afterward, if necessary.

good advice

Thanks, I totally hadn’t thought it through all the way. I will add that to my prep list along with: one towel, cotton balls, rubbing alcohol, and a melon-ball scooper.

In all Seriousness

though I agree. This situation is highly depressing with no end in sight. I guess we can hope for a better deal in 8 years.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
