Admittedly, I almost had a heart attack.  barfo, you are a very loyal man. Did you know that?
Three cheers for the Snapper!

How is the firing of Nick Jones, our Community Ambassador, going to effect PR?

Yes he's one of the best announcers out there.

Wait... but Pete Pranica was laid off?? CRAP!! Who is going to replace him? I mean, he is the finest when it comes to being a Blazer fanatic and homer.
I really don't think ANYONE can fill his shoes. He will truly be missed!

To me, "homer" and "finest" ought not be linked.
If one disagrees, one should listen to Ken "Hawk" Harrelson call a White Sox game. It'll learn ya real good.

I like Snapper. I think he is the best Blazers announcer that we have. He has a very tv/radio friendly voice.

Nick is Steve's brother. Former Oregon player. I think Nick had a short NBA career also. But he worked tirelessly in the community and was a WONDERFUL representative for the Portland Trail Blazers. A terrible loss.
Pete is a TERRIBLE loss too. I hate to see it happen. These are very talented, hard working people that had NOTHING to do with the team losing 100 million. Once again - THIS SUCKS.

crap. Pranica is my favorite announcer in the NBA. the guy is an astounding listener and a really bright conversationalist.
Jones is pretty good, but IMO a little over-hyped on this board. Pete was the real deal.
crap.

Well, we knew that this was going to be one crazy Summer, but who knew all this was going to happen. Does this mean that Fox is going to have to supply their own announcers for the Blazers?

I doubt it. It will probably be Barrett/Jones on TV and Wheels/Rice on Radio.

I believe that Pete will land on his feet pretty well. He might not make the money that he did with the Blazers, but he's personable, likeable, and obviously (well, I'm assuming) a hard worker.
Even though I'm sure his #1 love is doing pxp (or maybe not?) he could do sports radio. He knows his stuff, and does have a side of him that can be good on the radio.
I say this because he can't be worse than what we already have on the radio...
