Paul Allen Team Quotations

In the computer industry, you've got an interdisciplinary team of people who can come together, attack the problem, and work in a collaborative style. You knock down one problem after another, cobble things together, and then hopefully turn the crank at some point.

Once you become an owner of a team, you get so much more into the sport and you can't help it. So I really love NFL football now to the degree of following it much more than I did previously.

He's a very prideful individual and a very sensitive individual. And he saw the team go on a winning streak without him. I think he kind of took it personally.

I think we got over the hump today. I told the team we don't have to talk about 1984 anymore.

The Super Bowl. Wow! It's mind-blowing if you're a fan, how great it is to think of your team winning the Super Bowl.

I've really enjoyed being the owner of the Trail Blazers. I've tried hard to bring the city a championship. Now we are in a tough rebuilding process with a broken financial model. We have asked for help in fixing it. If I have to sell the team or if it can't continue, that will be sad.

I'm just really excited and proud of what we've been able to accomplish. I've been a patient owner of the franchise, and to see the city and the region rally around the team has been really heart-warming.

Its incredible. I'm just really happy for the fans and the community. Everybody has supported the team all these years. And this year has been a special year n especially for the fans and the community.

If I have to sell the team or if it can't continue, that will be sad. But sports franchises really only work if the community and ownership are in a mutually beneficial partnership.
