The more things change...

Wayne will be missed. It took me months to realize he wasn’t a huge buff biker gang member with tons of tattoos. That was purely based off of his avatar. But I was suspicious when he seemed to stop posting. I personally do look forward to the new future. But PtR already seems different

I couldn’t think of a better guy than you, jrw, to keep PTR running. Hopefully Wayne can still keep us informed about the Toros, from time to time. I know that I don’t comment as much as some people around here, but I read everything that is posted and I’ll continue to do so.

Thanks Wayne for this year and a half of great Spurs related content. You made PTR into what it is today. There are only a handful of sites that have a sense of community as entrenched as PTR, and that was all you. We’ll-or at least I’ll-miss you buddy, even though we’ve never met.

It is a testament to our founding fathers’ character that we can have a peaceful transition of power without the infighting and anarchy that I hoped would enable me to institute an absolute dictatorship with strong currents of cult of personality.

Congrats JRW, I hope the job doesn’t burn you out in the end and that you can find a balance.

I have a feeling we’ll be seeing WVATS soon….

Welcome aboard mein führer jrw!

Yo Jolly just kepp them coming alright PLS!!! keep me reading :)

i’m getting real abandonment issues thanks to this site…

Good luck to you, Wayne. You did good.
JRW, I’m positive that you’ll do well, much of luck to you too!

Hello new management! Best of luck to Mr. Wayne Vore aka ATS. You and your foot will be surely missed.

I’m hugging all of you on the astral plane right now. I’m looking forward to debating the next Inception with el Jefe Roger Wilco.

Sad about ATS, glad about jrw! Best wishes and thanx to you both:)

Wayne has decided to get a life? Well…fine!

Thanks for all the interviews and the non mainstream stories of spurs related stuff and the time you put in for us all.

WTF mate? and where oh where is Mr. Wayne going? I thought you loved this gig? I know, you got an offer with an NBA team, didn’t you? Phoenix, just like Kerr. Well, you saw what happened to him, so don’t come crying back when they burn you……..

Thank you Wayne for sharing your love and dedication for the Spurs with us. Your steady hand at the helm have kept PtR as one of the best blogs at SB Nation. Your rules were more than fair and you kept the garbage out. Thank you for giving all of us a place to come worship Manu and his friends. Please keep posting here, I enjoy your insight.

JRW, if there had been a vote, you would have mine….unless Hipuks was on the ballot. Come on, we all would have had to gone with that just to see what would have been!!!! Seriously, I know we are in good hands with just the right amount of sarcastic wit. Thank you for giving of your time so the rest of us can enjoy this site.

Wayne, kudos and thank you. PtR’s even keel under your captainship will be missed.

JRW, conratulations and good luck. We’re looking forward to the next PTR season under your leadership.

All the best to Mr. Vore and to JRW. There are only five sites I have to read every single day: The New York Times, The Unofficial Apple Weblog, No Comment by Scott Horton, Andrew Sullivan’s The Daily Dish, and Pounding the Rock. You guys not only have added a lot of extra fun and insight to the Spurs’ seasons, and made the offseasons more bearable, but you have also fostered a community here at PtR, full of respectful debate, intelligence and wit. I think that’s a pretty rare combination on any blog, and you have my respect.

Farewell, Mr. Wayne Vore. Some of us (probably most) hardly knew ye. But I have a feeling you will be lurking, dropping by every so often

Welcome to the helm, JR dub. Methinks you will steer this ship with a sense of right and order, and simultaneously maintain an atmosphere of fun for the entire family.

Wayne and JRW! I am sure under JRW’s watch the site will run smooth just like it always does.

Best of luck in your new endeavors Wayne. You will be missed. It was great talking to you at games and I hope you’ll still occasionally share your insights here.
 
JRW—good luck to you, and thanks for stepping up so this great site can continue. Do you get the PTR spot at the Spurs’ games?

Wayne, your always insightful, fair and honest analysis- even if I didn’t always want to read the truth, but needed to, for the sake of keeping things in perspective, will be sorely missed! Best wishes and best of luck on your new gig. I know you’ll give the site/newspaper/blog/journal you’re at now same respect and dedication you gave to PTR. It’s a better site because of your direction.

JRW, congrats and welcome to the big show! You’re a great guy for the job and you’ve got my full support.

Best wishes to Wayne, he was our leader when I joined. He was helpful when needed and put out some great articles.
JRW, welcome as our new guide and guru. This has been the best site I have found for basketball, I guess that is why the other team bloggers drop in our site.
Great site, and the hits just keep on coming!

Happy 65th Birthday Wayne! You will be missed. Enjoy retirement. And social security. And the early-bird specials. And playing bingo. And going to bed @ 7:45pm.

Godspeed, vaya con dios.

Wayne, I don’t think I’ve ever met someone with more sheer integrity than you. And the pleasure you took in learning about the Spurs, and about basketball, was infectious. I’ll miss you, and I’m glad I got to know you.

And jrw, the pleasure you take in basketball, as well as in nurturing the sense of community here, egging us on in our silliness, and your unfailingly kind and positive demeanor, will keep PtR rolling along. I look forward to it.

Thanks Wayne for all you have done and hopefully will do because only you have your perspective. That shot selection charting is what I remember the most. And for you jrw, you already have our respect so just keep it balanced and keep shooting.

I still think this was a coup orchestrated by SiMA.

This is hitting me really hard, first RMJ now Wayne? What does this mean?

I don’t know what to expect with jollyroger a the helm, but I"m sure i’s gonna be so bright and vivid. Heres to spurs coverage all the way across the sky!

Man…..first Powell, then Stampler……and now Wayne? Its like the big 3 of Manu/Tim/Tony retiring….im sad.

Wish you the best grandpa!

Wayne, you’ll be missed but never forgotten. Thanks.

jrw, best wishes for a successful operation under your tenure!

Wayne, I’m glad I had the opportunity to experience PtR under your leadership and jrw, I’m equally glad I will have the opportunity to experience it under yours. Best of luck to both of you in your futures.

wayne!! good luck buddy and thanks for everything you did for the site!!

Congrats JRW! Thanks ATS for all the good times. You will be missed. Hopefully, we’ll stil you around.

Wow…that explains the chief’s ex-chief’s absence now. I’m grateful for all the awesome coverage that he provided and help me learn more about Spurs than I ever imagined. Congratulations on a job well done and will miss your writings for sure.

Now, to the new jolly good fellow. He is a jolly good fellow and he is JRW and he is the chief. Congratulations and I’m certain that you are going to continue to keep it fun and sane around here.

The King is dead. Long live the King.

JRW… I can’t think of a better person to run the asylum.

Wayne, Thanks for all your hard work. You will be missed.
