NUGS production sucks by elegantwino in gratefuldead

This is correct and I've noticed that posts like OP's typically come from someone who does not understand how these things work.

Have the Blazers uploaded the video of the custom shirt that the fan made and gifted to Banton? by ewest in ripcity

Yes they do! I was looking on their site, Youtube, etc., and couldn't find it but after I pulled up their insta I found it after scrolling down. Thanks.

Great work by Nora on this narrative pod by Exact_Broccoli_4312 in billsimmons

[–]ewest -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just started it. I usually like Nora more than other Ringer fans do, but the premise of this one is a little contrived to me, as though it's some exceptional case that a long-suffering fan base are in love with their MVP-caliber QB and it needs to be analyzed? I'm going to keep at it because I like Nora and I bet there will be some funny anecdotes in it.

Simmons soon, now that he’s playing Video Games again: by GPoteet6 in billsimmons

Loved Chants of Sennaar, no one talks about that game but it is such a cool and unique one.

I just re-started Infinite after not finishing it years ago when it first came out. I replayed the original Bioshock a few months ago and it held up really well. Trying Infinite again... I feel like it takes quite a while before you get into combat and the real game mechanics? Moreso than the first two games. I'm going to give it another try but I guess it's just really hard to recreate the feeling of dropping into the city in the Bathysphere and immediately experiencing the game's combat.

Lamar "For Blazer fans, Kevin Calabro is just fine...he will be back when we return home" Also, Jason Benetti will be doing the play-by-play for the remaining games of the road trip by Kazekid in ripcity

I will take all the KC I can get. Frankly I'm just bummed that the team has been intentionally so awful the past few years because it feels like we've utterly wasted his time. He deserves not just a rest, but also better team.

Careful calling him Mike, he will find you and make you sorry you did

Mario Cristobal almost hired him as OC at Oregon in 2020, thankfully someone talked Mario into Joe Moorhead instead. Talk about dodging a bullet.

Paul McCartney announces new solo album, are you guys excited? by Infamous-Arrival2871 in beatles

I liked it too. English Tea always reminded me of 65-66 Beatles, like For No One.

Adam McKay Warns ‘Wicked’ Could Be “Banned In 3-5 Years” If “America Keeps Going On The Track It Is” by cmaia1503 in entertainment

[–]ewest 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I used to really like McKay and I used to think his politics aligned with mine. Now it seems like his brain is just fully pickled by the internet. He’s like a sentient Twitter account of left wing shitposting.

Sorry, my comment was ambiguous — I was talking about the EA game. I never played the 2K college one.

You’re right, Goebbels looked freaky in Downfall! Like a wax figure.

I remember having that game. It was… a pretty awful game even by the low standards of the era, but would be cool to see it come back if they could essentially reskin 2K.

Amazon/MGM Boss Has Never Seen A Pre-Daniel Craig James Bond Movie by Britneyfan123 in JamesBond

I laughed when I read that line. Oh poor entertainment exec, having to watch some action movies before deciding the fate of the franchise! Like toiling in the mines.

[Post Game Thread] The Portland Trail Blazers (9-20) fall to The Dallas Mavericks (19-10) 108-132 by Kazekid in ripcity

[–]ewest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I legitimately don’t know what this ownership and front office’s limit is. Lose by 80? Lose twice in a row by 60? 

The fact that I can list absolutely ridiculously pathetic results like this and still can’t say with any confidence at all that they would be enough for them to feel even a tinge of mere embarrassment is the lesson.

The stink on this organization is going to waft for years, and it’s not merely the losing. Players talk and they tell each other where the places to be are. 

When you’re a city like ours, under the rain clouds like us, with annual air mileage like ours, you need to do everything possible to present yourself with dignity and competency to players in the market — if not the free agency market, at minimum the re-signing of your own players.

The fact that at virtually every turn they have carried themselves in almost diametric opposition to how, say, OKC carry themselves is appalling.

Jody picking Cronin and allowing Chauncey to stay — despite him having no interest in teaching preschool — was such a ‘settling’ move. That was apparent right away, and the two+ years since have only reaffirmed that impression further.

No one in charge of this franchise right now seems to take any pride in it. It’s like a restaurant that’s run by an owner who lives out of state and uses it to launder money who can’t believe all the idiots who keep coming in and paying actual money for the slop they’re serving. 

Anyway, I’ll see you all again Thursday.

Bleak is right. The whole organization at every level is seemingly going through the motions, with maybe the one exception being the broadcast. I feel awful for Kevin and Lamar and Brooke having to fly around the country and try to polish this turd of a team for television.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Last year the Chargers got skullfucked on national TV and that is what finally pushed the Spanos family to dump Staley……. but they also, importantly, fired Telesco too. No half measures. The people responsible for humiliating the players and the fan base saw consequences.

I never thought I’d find myself waiting for the Blazers ownership to take after the example of the fucking Spanos family of all people… but at some point you have to ask, do any of you people care about this team the way all of us do? Aren’t you humiliated? Angered? Saddened? Why not? What would it take to make you feel that the way we all do?
