I have mixed feelings since my son who likes the the NBA moved last year to Seattle and is disappointed.

I thought Portland had a good franchise but with billionaires from Microsoft, Starbucks,Safeco and others I would not be surprised that these Seattle egotists would shell out the big bucks to take Portland's team.

I don't go to the games any more since the salaries got so dang high, the players look and act like common street thugs and the refreshment cost went overboard.

Yet the guy working in the refreshment stand makes minimum wage.

I figure any time I have to pay more than a gallon of gas cost just to buy a coke then something is wrong.

I know, the fat cat owners like the the cable companies have the entertainment costs for individual enjoyment down to the second.

FYI the Blazers are owned by Paul Allen...from Microsoft.
