PrintA source close to the situation tells Blazersedge that former Comcast Sports Northwest and Blazers Broadcasting sideline reporter Rebecca Haarlow is leaving the station to pursue an opportunity with Fox Sports West. Her work will include Lakers broadcasts.
Well then.
Update (10:50AM): Here's the press release announcing the move from Haarlow's agency, Kauffman Sports Management Group.
REBECCA HAARLOW TO JOIN FOX SPORTS WEST IN ITS COVERAGE OF LOS ANGELES LAKERS BASKETBALL FOR THE 2010-2011 SEASON
Los Angeles, California - July 23, 2010 -Kauffman Sports Management Group announces that client, Rebecca Haarlow, is leaving her post as the sideline reporter for the Portland Trail Blazers after three years of dedicated service. She will continue her on-air NBA work, joining FS West on their broadcasts of Los Angeles Lakers games in the upcoming 2010-11 season.
Says Haarlow, "It was a difficult decision to leave the Portland Trail Blazers organization because it's family. While I will always be grateful to the Blazers for the opportunity they gave me, I am very excited to take this new step in my career with FS West." In addition to Haarlow's coverage of the Los Angeles Lakers, she has also re-joined Fox Sports Network in its national coverage of Pac-10 Football and Basketball, as well as assorted other programming.

smart move...
i’d thought she might stick around and see if the Pac 10 network would come into existence but she can always bail Fox Sports pretty quick.
Me either
She seemed fake, after-market and like an aren’t-I-special climber.
She’ll be perfect here in Los Angeles. Hope to see her up close when I go to the Blazer/Clipper games so I can yell “defector”, “hollow climber Harlow the Harlot” and other niceties towards her.

Will say...
Thank GOD. I couldn’t stand listening to her… half the time her questions were longer than the players response. It was just poor. Got to the point where I would just mute it every time I heard her voice.
I will say, though… the L*KERS? I mean, its nice that they’re trying to snipe all our sloppy seconds, but… wouldn’t have minded seeing a little less Benedict, maybe a little more Arnold.
Look Ma! I got a rec!
good

Her reporting seemed to get worse from 08-09 to 09-10.
I’m not sure why, but she always seemed to be stumbling over her words last season. Anyway, I hope she does well there.

haha My laker buddy is pissed
first Blakey now Rebecca, if Bob Akaimain goes to it’s a trifecta

How about her buddy Tony Luftman can join her.
The Lakers deserve him.
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

NOOOOOO REBECCAAAAAA
My sweet sweet rebecca, you will be missed. Especially that manly manly chin of yours.
Seriously though, good career move and I wish her the best.
Things happen for a reason they say, but I say there's a reason things happen.
Smart move, not a player
So no problem. I’m curious who’s going to replace her.

Oh my. I want to say misogynist things
Not because I’m a misogynist, I think, but because it’s the lakers. Is it stating the obvious to note that she was pretty but not a very good broadcaster?
You'll just be another hot blonde in LA

When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
Micheal Holton!!!
He may not be as foxy, but can you imagine the crap he would ask players after games?!?
Stealth > Wealth
…and that would make it Mike, Mike, and Mike, with Bob all alone in the studio (unless we bring back Luftman, who might actually pair well with Akamian).
Stealth > Wealth
Luftman + Akamian = Crazy Sauce to the Max
Just imagine the eyebrow kung fu that would fly between the two.
Stealth > Wealth
I hope that she enjoys not doing post-game interviews
when the Blazers come into town and rip the hearts out of the L*kers. I can see her contemplating stealing an interview with LaMarcus just for old-time’s sake.
Ryan Gomes: forever a Blazer in our hearts.
I'm resisting the urge to say something nasty...
let’s just leave it at good luck to her in her new endeavors.
Resistance is futile
Let her have it with both barrels! She sucked anyway, her interviews were painfully cliche and predictable, I only thought she had the job she did because we are Podunk .

Oh Rebecca,
Your high pitched voice and gushing over Lamarcus Aldridge will be missed. But as we all know now, your true heart lies with Kobe Bryant and the L@kers. You will not be missed because of this fact, you are in fact…a traitor.
A TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!
Good luck Rebecca Haarlot, (oh i mean…haarlow……)

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is....more Greg Oden
LMA broke her heart and she splits to Tinseltown? Boo.
Good luck I guess?
I like how Travis Outlaw
Got all giddy and jittery when Rebecca looked him in the eyes during the post game interview.
Back to the Roots
Rebecca used to be my neighbor. The thing that I took away from our passing conversations in the hood or at the games was that she knew the game. It really didn’t come through that well in some of her sideline shots, but she could talk stats and thoughtful strategy without batting a baby-blue.
I could tell that she always had greater aspirations and wanted to get back to CA where she started off in broadcasting. In speaking with her you could always tell that she was driven to climb up the food chain. She’s a Princeton grad after all.
While some might not have appreciated her presentation of her reporting I can honestly say that she was a true sports fan … basketball, football, runnign, whatever … and she was never too important, too busy or too attractive to engage another sports fan in thoughtful conversation and share in the joy of being a part of something special in Portland.
I’m sure her past neighbors and friends will share the sentiment in wishing her the best in her future endeavors … but we surely won’t be checking in on the L@kers broadcasts to chart her progress.

Glad I refrained from the Rebecca-bashing
I didn’t find her unlikable, and there’s nothing to criticize in her taking a better gig in the southland. But this I have to say: the girl was remarkably unpolished. Hardly seemed like Tinseltown material.
Maybe the Lakers really ARE concerned with the threat posed by the Blazers. First they grab Steve Blake, & now Rebecca. Here’s hoping they steal away the Blazers’ half-time entertainment director next!
I was born in '52, and I believe in #52. Hang in there, GO.
You too, Przy: everyone knows you're the heart & soul of the Blazers.
I was about to post
That all those criticizing Rebecca either have short memories or are new fans, because Rebecca is both better looking and more basketball savvy than any of the previous sideline reporters, and probably more so than whoever replaces her.

Oh the HUMANITY!!
Now I have no reason to watch comcast during blazer games. She’ll be missed, no doubt. But seriously, it was starting to go downhill fast. Hopefully they can find her a decent makeup artist. I think last year’s was on crack half of the time.
I recall the network reduced her schedule last season.
I’m sure that played a part in the decision.
Holding out for Hedo
Must have.
She was taken off road games as part of a broadcasting cutback that included the LuftMan (no tears, 500, keep it together. Deep breath…okay). Next thing we know Mike and Mike will be calling the action from a satellite feed like the SL games.

for her position and CSN being local she did a good job

Rec this. No, seriously.
There’s a 90% chance that a BEdger wins that.
Like the Whos down in Whoville they did it without boxes or ribbons or bows, they did without centers or posting down low. They won without All-Stars and Spaniards and Frenchmen. They won with old geezers and sub-par defense-men. They won playing rookies from deep off the benches. They won with their grit and their guts in the trenches. And some who observed them have been known to say that their hearts grew three sizes (at least!) on the way. One hopes with their poise and their passion now proven that once they are healthy their game will be groovin'. -- Dave

We’ve had to mod this thread a little. Everyone is free to critique Ms. Haarlow’s professional work to their heart’s content. If you didn’t think she was a good sideline reporter, that’s fine to say. But disparaging remarks towards women are not allowed at Blazersedge. We have plenty of participation from men and women both at this blog. Crudeness offends both.

Each game a fan (the BE poster with the most recs for example) should be able to win the right to do the post game interview with that nights player of the game.
Think of the awesomeness as people ask real (not scripted) questions and players answer them.

Never liked or disliked her. She was solid, but you didn't really miss her if she wasn't at the game.

What i'm expecting
Is something more watchable than the whole “Adventure Host” thingy.
Im thinking " The Next Blazers Hottie."
Gals get to ask such questions as "what did it feel like to hit that shot " while trying to suck a golfball through a garden hose.
No wonder she left...
…with Mike Rice repeatedly making inappropriate innuendos ON AIR about her. For instance, when Barrett was wondering about some commotion below their sideline table, Rice blurted out “Rebecca, is that you?” or something similar… with just the right cadence and inflection to make his meaning known.
While I may appreciate such humor in other contexts, I find it inappropriate for Blazer broadcasters, while they are on air. I think I remember a total of ~3 similar occurences (involving Rice’s innuendos about Haarlow) during the 2009/2010 season.
By all appearances, Ms. Haarlow preferred to keep her on-air persona as that of a respectable and ladylike professional. I’m sure she will continue to do so in her new endeavors.
I don’t personally get a whole lot from seeing a postgame interview consisting of such insipid questions as “How GREAT is it to get the win here, tonight, ______?” I also don’t believe for a second that Rebecca had much choice, other than to ask such questions. She was surely directed to serve up softballs, by the TV producer or front office. Players are tired after a game and her job was to make them look smart on TV while appealing to as large of an audience as possible.
I’m sure her successor will follow suit. Hot or not.
I think her eff-me boots disagree with you
I never thought she particularly exuded class. Just my 2 cents.
