A note on advertising

October 30th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 2 Comments · My American Life

As you’ve no doubt noticed by now, I’ve decided to begin advertising here.  I’ve no idea where it will take me nor do I have any idea who would want to reach you wonderful readers.  But there it is.  I have one Google strip and one Blogads strip, which will hopefully get some local play.  [...]

Look who’s missing

October 30th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Trail Blazers

This picture just showed up in my inbox.  Looks like there’s a new member of the Big Three.  It’s difficult to believe Oden wasn’t originally supposed to be in here.  Maybe I’m wrong.

Meet the new boss

October 29th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Winter Hawks

The new Hawks ownership sure know how to make an impression.  If you were at Buffalo Wild Wings this afternoon, you know what I’m talking about.  There were jerseys and video screens everywhere.  Even the wait staff had Hawks jerseys on.  And the spread…wow.  When/if we relaunch the Monday night coach’s shows, can we please [...]

Now is not the time to start building walls

October 28th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Politics

I left the Republican party five years ago on the day I was told I was no longer wanted.  No one from the party came over to my house with excommunication papers or anything, but there was a moment when I knew I was no longer one of them.  And as time has gone on, [...]

The end of an era

October 27th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 1 Comment · Winter Hawks

I know I’ve mentioned it in the past, and Dylan reinforced it tonight: the Brian Shaw/family era of the Portland Winter Hawks is now officially over.  It’s time to get ready for some serious changes within the organization from top-to-bottom.  Innes is just the beginning.  Some, I’m sure, believe this is a sad day.  Me?  [...]

MLS isn’t minor league II

October 27th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 1 Comment · Sports

Now Team USA captain Landon Donovan wants to go play in Europe too.
Tell me again how major MLS is if they can’t keep North America’s best player.
