Here's My Number, and a Dame

One ringy dingy. Two ringy dingy...

Jody [Allen, Blazers owner] even refused to take [Phil] Knight’s call when the Nike founder, who has an estimated fortune of $54.5 billion, put his initial offer together: “She did not take Phil’s call. She deferred him to Bert [Kolde, Blazers/Seahawks Vice Chair].”

She has also refused to talk to Blazers star player Damian Lillard, who reportedly has had issues with the way the team is being run, the team source claimed.

I hadn't looked closely, but this might be your top 5 subject line pun this year..

Well at first i thought this sounded like Nike just bitching because this woman wouldn't sell them the team.  How dare her!   But then i lost all sympathy when she apparently smuggled giraffe bones and ivory out of Africa.   Geezus.   Some people are too rich.

Dame insists there's nothing to hear -- oops, see -- here.

Nike Man is still waiting through the Muzak on hold, though.

Good for him to clear it up.  The story seemed iffy.   Nike doesn't like being told no is my take.

Is Dame a Nike client?
