Blazers column on owner Paul Allen leads to an angry Paul Allen

      This argument started when John Canzano who is a oregonlive.com blogger, asked Paul Allen who is the owner of the Blazers if he was in or out. John Canzano basically asked Paul Allen if he even cared about the team and if he wanted to sell them. Allen responded harshly. He called John Canzano an octopus that knows nothing about the Blazers.

         Blazers.com's twitter page then tweeted the incident so their 75,000 fans can see. Many fans commented on this incident such as "fight fight!", "angry billionaire" and "Paul Allen has no sense of humor. The picture of the octopuses that Paul Allen described as " the four ways to read a John Canzano article"are very dumb looking which is an indication that he is calling John Canzano dumb.

         Paul Allen also put quotes underneath the four pictures of the octopuses that said "Stage 1, uh oh another John Canzano column." 

Stage 1 of Paul Allen explaining what reading a John Canzano article is like.

 "Stage 2, wow, even more bombastic and grandiose as usual." 

Stage 2 of Paul Allen explaining how reading a John Canzano article is like.

                     

"Stage 3, he's frolicking again with unnamed sources and their murky agendas."

Stage 3 of Paul Allen explaining how it is like to explain a John Canzano article.

 "Stage 4, movin' on… (Does his editor even bother to read these?).

Stage 4 of Paul Allen explaining how reading a John Canzano article is like.

         John Canzano responded with quotes such as "I could own the Blazers better then Paul Allen can" and "Who the heck insults someone with pictures of four octopuses."When asked about the incident, Blazers guard Wesley Matthews said "I know this is all nonsense and not serious at all." That shows that Paul Allen and John Canzano are not fond of each other and they got into a big online disagreement.
