@dwightjaynes How about "yes and yes."

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@Matt_Calkins Thank you, Matt, for standing on your principles. Keep up the great work!

@blazerbanter It's in Detroit. Here's one explanation, from FOS...

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

Pretty sure this current #Mariners squad is not one of the top 50 greatest teams in franchise history. #tridentsdown

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@RyanDivish Suspend him. Maybe he'll figure it out.

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

Julio tapped his helmet less than a second after the ump completed the strike call. That's fairly fast...

[Ryan Divish @RyanDivish]

Apparently julio didn't tap his helmet fast enough

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@noBjustRyan Make it worse? Get real.

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@noBjustRyan If this process spurs changes, great. "PDX thinking" is "everything is rosy and perfect here." Sad.

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@noBjustRyan That could not be further from the truth. My opinion is based on 22 years of living & working in Portland. I have no idea what Fox News thinks of Portland. I don't want the Blazers to leave the PDX area but there are major changes needed in the way the city/state do business...

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@noBjustRyan I didn't walk anything back. As I said, if they could get a deal in the suburbs with a more business-friendly city/county, they should do it immediately. Not sure the $$ are there, but it's worth exploring. The City of Portland isn't exactly easy to do business with.

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@CHold @noBjustRyan @blazerbanter I agree!

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@CHold @noBjustRyan @blazerbanter See look, we're already finding things to agree on! 😅 I miss doing shows with you!

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@CHold @blazerbanter Even the MLB group looked at options outside of the City. You'd be crazy not to.

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@CHold @blazerbanter The reality helps form my opinions of the region. If they could make it work financially in the suburbs w/ different government entities, they'd be crazy not to. That goes for pretty much any business. It's no secret the City of Portland isn't the most business-friendly...

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@CHold @blazerbanter Buying the team. Those sentiments were repeated to me many times last week. But I still believe the overwhelming majority of fans love this team and want it to stay in Portland even if they don't like the current owner.

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@CHold @blazerbanter I saw different opinions from fans, but a common one I saw was they didn't appreciate Dewayne's comments about the City, business climate etc. And they don't like the fact that Dundon bought the team if he believed those things to be true. And that he knew those things prior to..

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@CHold @blazerbanter I talk to friends, fans, former Blazers employees, current employees etc. on a regular basis. So there's that.

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@CHold @blazerbanter Well that's a very interesting take. It's not reality, but it's interesting. I interact with fans in a variety of ways and I read and absorb their comments and opinions on a daily basis. I've followed this saga quite closely actually....

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@CHold @blazerbanter Whatever that means by the way.

[Jay Allen @PDXjay]

@CHold @blazerbanter I think the team is trying to rally fans to show their emotional support for the franchise (history etc) and in doing so pressure the City into the best deal possible. Nothing wrong with that. It's a negotiation. Has nothing to do with any supposed long-term views of the region..
