It’s a big deal when you win a bowl. Unless you lose a bowl, then it doesn’t matter at all.
-D. Jaynes
You can easily remove the Holiday Bowl from that quote, insert tonight’s Blazers-Celtics game in its place, and the meaning would stay exactly the same. Listening to The Game today, you would think the Blazers [...]

Weekend wrap-up

Busy busy busy. It’s a good thing.
Beer and Blog: It’s become a Friday tradition in the local tech community. How on earth have I never been? I had a great conversation with @dieselboi about beer and the future of the Dragon. Hopefully the folks at Rogue will elect to keep the place weird, or whatever. [...]

No one can stop Brandon Roy
November 7th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Trail Blazers
Kermit to Billy Ray will always be the gold standard for Blazer victories. Blake to Roy, however, is definitely top-5.
The NBA sent Bennett Salvatore and Violet Palmer to the Rose Garden last night in an effort to cool the Blazers. They both gave it the old college try (see the BS Yao call), but in [...]

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.

Canzano turns his blog into CraigsList
October 25th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Media, Sports, Trail Blazers
O-Live editor Ben Sherman must enjoy this sort of scintillating blogging. You know, John, CraigsList gives your guy 10-times the exposure and allows you to use your blog for other worthwhile ventures. Like hooking up a couple of brothers with courtside seats.

The Rudygasm
September 23rd, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 1 Comment · Media, Trail Blazers
Was it only two seasons ago that Joel Przybilla re-signed with the Blazers? Wow, time does fly. Watching the media’s reaction to the arrival of Rudy Fernandez reminds me a lot of their reaction to the Przybilla signing in 2006. You’ll recall the Blazers put on a big show down on the waterfront which culminated [...]

Pull your pants back up, Blazer fans
September 6th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · 4 Comments · Sports, Trail Blazers
Time was Blaer fans were as classy as they were knowledgable. Apparently those days are over. A decade of dominance? When will they win their championship? Sheesh.
A couple of things.
As long as Kobe Bryant is in the league, it is his trophy to lose. He just turned 30 two weeks ago and he’s got a [...]

Joe Freeman reports there will be a public memorial service for Kevin Duckworth Saturday morning at 11 at the Coliseum. Wouldn’t it be something if we filled the place?

So long, Kevin Duckworth
August 26th, 2008 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · My American Life, Trail Blazers
Wow. Anyone with two open eyes saw this coming for a while now. Duck had clearly gone over five full spins on the scale. As another big guy, this definitely gives me pause. As a friend of mine said a couple of weeks ago, we have to start getting serious about this. 44 is way [...]
