Oregon Media Central: Jason Quick Changes Stations

It allows me to avoid any chance of accidentaly listening to John C-zo.

On demand, baby! On demand!

Before, I ignored Quick because he was on Primetime. I’ll now ignore him because he’s on Canzano.

The Game pretty much has the Fan beat in this department. I’m also really liking Rashad Flloyd, was listening to him fill in for Wheeler on the way back from the grocery store and he runs a good show. Speciffically, I like how he (gasp) engages callers who disagree with his opinions rather than cutting them off on the spot and clowning them on the air. He has some potential, imo.

does this mean quick doesn’t do anything for the paper anymore, or is he just doing more now?

This is a sad sad day for Big Suke (AKA Mortimer)

Wow, that was basically the only thing 1080 The Fan had going for it that was Blazer related. Isaac and Suke have very little insight on the subject. You could probably pull any two people off of this site and get better analysis and material.

They won’t replace Rome, so it’ll probably be after Strong, in the 7-10 gap before JT the Brick

The only time I have to listen to sports radio is in the late afternoon and The Fan is the lesser evil. Quick and Frye were highlights.

Still won’t listen to the bald one but I will have to depend on this site more unless the Fan reloads.

because I was very excited to hear about this. I’ve been a long time lurker at BE and this good news made me want to “come out” :D I really enjoyed listening to Quick back when I used to listen to the Fan. Hopefully the MSP and Wheels have him on regularly.

The only time I really listen is the 3-5 timeslot, and Isaac and Suke are far superior to Canzano

Get a panel of fans to do nothing but discuss the Blazers and the NBA every night.

We could have one or two regulars a month, with the other couple contributors vary from day to day. Ben could be the producer and Dave could call in once a week to discuss things.

Thoughts?

I listened to 2 straight seasons on am radio. I love WHeels and Tone. ANyways, I came outta the stone age and got NBA league pass. Now 1080 or 95.5 is a moot point. But, I also had no choice for FM because I live to far away, am was my only choice.

I stopped listening to those clowns a long long time ago. 95.5 has my loyalty as long as they keep Benjamin Franklin on the air.

Isaac and Suke both say they do not have time for any serious research or real journalism. They see themselves more as personalities than media members with any real responsibilities. Their tendencies are first, to try to be funny, second, to pander to baser instincts (hot chicks), and then third, finish this brew off with a bunch of angry moralizing in order to show how enlightened they are beyond the limits of the sporting world.

While they are at it, they seem to view themselves as being above the fanatics, which include Portland Trail Blazers fans. Their knowledge of the players and team suffer accordingly and serves as an example of how stunted a persons learning capacity can become when they attempt to act knowledgeable about something that they really don’t care about.

I would compare this phenomenon to having children when you don’t really want them. The children (fans) rightly end up wondering whether or not they would have been better off with different parents.

In summary, I refer to Isaac and Suke as examples of what I would call, "Hillbilly Journalism." A kind of journalism that is better suited to regions where graduating from high school is thought of as a major accomplishment. Characterized by voluminous opinions without the need of any solid basis in fact, study, or even solemnity. Sort of like attempting to create a cult that worships ignorance.

I guess in the end, it is to each their own, but I really do hate to have what they so often have say about the Trailblazers going out over the airways. To me, what they say is regularly unprofessional and worse yet, belittling of our only major professional sports franchise.
