Silver lining?



Maybe if the Blazers lose another game or two the new bandwagon fans will start to lose interest in the games, This could cause Comcast to see declining viewer numbers. Comcasts  bean counters will realize  that they are losing value on their "exclusive" access for Blazer games  and will decide to make a deal with outside carriers like disk  or Direct. Or the Blazers.

Speaking of the Blazers,we were told by Larry Miller that the Blazers were dealing directly with Comcast to Stream all Blazer games by the New Year. Has anyone heard of any progress in these talks? As much as I enjoy listening to Wheels Seeing the games would sure be nice.

There's always a silver lining! Another would be for the season ticket holders!

Last year I was unable to move ANYWHERE in the same “blue” sections of the Rose Garden. All of the seats were taken. So maybe if the Blazers do poorly this year, next year I will be able to move up in the section! And perhaps the players will be more motivated to WIN! They may need a new coach to do this but the right changes will be made.
Good luck with the viewing options!

Yes Comcast is going to put everything online

They’re working hard at it, just like the tv deals they are working on with other carriers.

Yeah they just bought NBC too (well 51%).

I hope they don’t start charging for HULU.

I enjoy Wheeler too.

But I do get sick of hearing him sound like it’s the end of the world when the other team hits a three.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

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.
