Blazers/Comcast Contract: Bad Business for Fans

     It is painstakingly hard to be a Portland Trailblazers fan.
     No, I'm not referring to the fact that the Blazers are currently eight games out of first place in the Western Conference Northwest Division, or the fact that perennial All-Star Brandon Roy recently announced his retirement; I'm not speaking of the ever so constant reminder that the Blazers drafted Greg Oden over Kevin Durant, and I'm certainly not bringing up the 1984 draft debacle when Portland missed out on you know who.
   

LBCC's Jed Wyman

    
     He was expelled from two boarding schools as a kid. He ran away from a reform school in Maine with intentions of hitchhiking his way across country to California only to end up sneaking in and getting kicked out of a Crosby, Stills, and Nash concert. He lived amongst a Kenyan tribe during wartime and filled out his first college application on corn husks while in Africa. He has sang and played guitar for three different bands along the way as well. Oh yeah, and he's an English/Writing instructor at LBCC.
