Signed not by just any team, signed by the Seahawks. Just sayin'
That was when the Seahawks were owned by the Nordstoms. I have met some of them in person. Straight up assholes. They ran a great upscale department store.. that's where their "genius" ends.. Paul Allen owns the team now. He is smart(duh) and a genuine fan. The Nordstroms are exactly like Romney. Paul plays rock guitar with local bands. Pauls team "Vulkan" has an eye for new talent. I don't know where they found our QB but he is pretty good for a rookie.
At least they got rid of Trader Bob, he ruined the Blazers. Allen is an average owner, and I'm a huge Blazer fan.
Agreed about part one. Thing is about Allen is that I don't think he ever had his heart into the Trail Blazers. He's a Seattle guy through and through... Just like Gates. Those two could live anywhere on the planet and they are still fiercely local.
Paul obviously takes a keen interest in his football team.
