Or is it that you hate "internet journalism" or whatever? If you hate internet journalism, why do you do it? If you hate J. Quick, why? Are you jealous that he has done a better job as a beat reporter than you did? Sometimes, I just don't understand your smackdowns. Dwight… why do you hate Jason Quick so much?

Jesus Dwight it makes me miss you, which I even ventured to put in print, before it was ridiculed and edited by the weird rainbow crowd who seems to be Jason Quick's new cult following..... Lord, fart stories and shower tales, it has become a goofy mix of Oz and the Red Neck Comedy Tour. Gotta love the hard core journalistic objective perspective too, eh? The dumb fool admits in print how hard it is to decide what is 'off the record' as opposed to publishable..... Ummm, okay. Right. You are a God Damn Journalist, but not anymore... Quick has made the sudden, and queer, jump to Blazers PR man, with all the insight of fart stories, scoops of an 'un-named' cock fighting solution, and glistening bodies whooping it up exiting the showers..... While that squashed, beaty eyed lizard Canzano speaks in toungues like a retard beaten with a brick.... Okay that's going a bit far, after all the Special Olympics Comittee has declared a no 'R' word campaign, linking it to ugly southern connotations, but after all I am the Official Beat Reporter for the Albuquerque Special Olympics and the athletes have started a movement to put the 'Tard' back in the re..... but it's irrelevant at this point..... Jesus Dwight, I hate you and your years of Soccer Abuse in this great Soccer City... Many times I have had Grand thoughts about stabbing you with a rusted steak knife Peters refuses to through away, or merely beat you to death with a book from Coswells library; but on these ugly nights filled with foolish gibberish and queer thoughts from journalists who sob uncontrollably on Sam Adam's soft shoulder..... Well, just missing your your right handed back slap and brutal honesty... And we got our soccer team, and you are getting a new base ball stadium for a worthless team with no fan support to play in; but I gurantee Dwight, and you may have ugly ulcers and loose your last hair, but Civic Stadium is, and will be, the finest Soccer Stadium on the West Coast.... best luck with the fish, mahalo You don’t say….. Jesus Dwight it makes me miss you, which I even ventured to put in print, before it was ridiculed and edited by the weird rainbow crowd who seems to be Jason Quick’s new cult following…..

Every game recap is just the same words with different numbers. These really let us get to know that the Blazers are real people with personalities beyond the 15 second postgame quote. What Quick is doing really reminds me of reality TV, except it's a reality TV show I'd actually like to watch. Hopefully someone picks up on this and we get some Behind the Locker Room on the TV.

I'm less concerned about the 'flatulence follies' than his apparent need to insert himself into the reports of late. Nonetheless, Quick and D-James are the Blazer must-reads right now. As for Rebecca H., she seems like a knowledgable reporter and likable enough. However, her soundbites and interviews offer very little insight. To be fair, she is somewhat dependent on the cliche-ridden (or otherwise uninteresting) responses of those being interviewed. Sideline "reporting" seems like a role that hasn't ever served any useful purpose to the viewer anyways, so I adjusted my expectations accordingly years ago.

I look forward to reading this article more than any other after a Blazers game. Win or lose, this series is pure gold.

The only thing that separates ink from virtual ink is access. It sure ain't quality (see canzano). Print is dead. “Congratulations to my pal, Jason Quick, for today’s example of what separates “Internet journalism” from the print kind.

It shows they're loose and comfortable around each other which is so important to team chemistry (no pun intended). I grew up with 3 brothers. I could tell stories like that for hours and the finger pointing and laughing would never stop. I liked the article.
