Canzano: Monday Mailbag deals with Trail Blazers solution, Oregon Ducks upside, OSU football, Sean Mannion, and cringy texts

We've solved the Blazers conundrum.

Moda Center’s future hangs in the balance this week.

The Monday Mailbag aims to solve the ongoing rift between the Trail Blazers and the city of Portland. We aren’t just bellyaching here. We’re offering a creative solution that involves Moda Center — not Portland’s NBA team — changing hands and landing with a private owner who doesn’t care about politics and isn’t limited by money.

Know anyone with billions who might be interested in a legacy play?

I do.

I received a trove of terrific questions this week. Readers wanted to know about Oregon’s offensive playcaller, Sean Mannion’s big career move, vacation spots, Oregon State’s bowl chances, cringy group text messages, and more.
