The Steve Downie Hit and Tonight’s Game

September 29th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Sports, Winter Hawks

First, that crap doesn’t belong in the pre-season let alone the league. Downie was looking to make a name for himself and he was successful.Is 20 games enough? Ummmm….no. He should be suspended at all levels for the season. Send him to Europe. See how it flies there.
Dylan has a [...]

Get Over Yourself, Canzano!

September 28th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Media, Trail Blazers

I didn’t even get past the headline in Canzano’s blog entry this morning before I wanted to gag.  Two weeks ago, he was supposed to meet the Bird Man.  Now he’s teaching life-lessons to first graders.  Or are they teaching them to me?  I’m so confused.
Hey JC!  Greg Oden is a pro basketball player, not [...]

Leinart To Start

September 28th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Arizona Cardinals

Whisenhunt has decided to stick with the boy wonder for now.  I wonder if the roles were reversed last week and it was Leinart who came in and nearly won the game for the Cards whether the decision would be the same.  I think not.
The thing is the NFL is a win now league.  And [...]

Noodle, Party of Three

September 27th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · My American Life

Congratulations to J and K Noodle on their pending addition.  Just when you’ve almost given up hope on the planet, two cool kids decide to invite a third to the party.  Oh man, how I wish I could be that kid.  How much fun would it be to grow up Noodle?

You Go Girl

September 27th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Sports

US Women’s goaltender Hope Solo was benched in favor of Brianna Scurry prior to this morning’s World Cup match with Brazil. The Brazillians ran roughshod over Team USA, winning 4-0. That is a stomping.
Solo wasn’t happy with coach Greg Ryan’s decision and she’s let the world know.
I’m with you, Hope. I do [...]

My Thoughts Exactly

September 27th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Politics

TeacherRefPoet put into words what I’ve been feeling for a while.
This issue has become like the abortion issue to me, because I’m finding I hate everyone on both sides of it. But, after ‘04, I feel that my party is not only guilty of all of the sins of the Bushies, but also of hypocrisy [...]

NFL Week 4

September 27th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Arizona Cardinals

I’m holding off on placing my pick for this week’s pool until I hear for sure who’s starting for my Cardinals this week.
I never thought I’d say this…
Dear God, let it be Warner.

Wait…

September 27th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Culture, Music, Regional

I was looking forward to reading Willamette Week’s write-up of Storm Large. I developed my Storm crush last year while she was on that RockStar show. Rick Emerson and I even started a blog about the whole thing. It was called Dave Navarro Is A Gigantic Douche and for one brief [...]

Yeah Right. Mainstream…

September 27th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Culture

HT:  Indexed
Unless you’ve been living under a rock or were born prior to 1960, you’re no doubt aware Halo 3 came out Tuesday.  If your IT department has been missing, now you know why.  The headline on this article does make me wonder about how out of touch the press truly is.
