Jon-
This is unrelated to the post, I just wanted to say that I wrote a prospects profile of Tim Bozon and in the process found your game 6 audio call and I've got people in Texas and California and Arizona listening to it again and again because it's absolutely dynamite. It's made me a Blazers fan. Thanks for the thrill.
