Arizona Cardinals: They seem to be getting B-pluses for their draft yesterday. I still don’t get the Dominique Rogers-Cromarte thing. The Deion Sanders seal-of-approval is just too much for me to overcome. I wonder if they’ll come to regret not drafting Mendenhall and cutting Edge. We should know around week [...]

It didn’t even take a second after Roger Goodell announced the Cards had taken Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie at #16 before the dread had set in. Why? Because Deion Sanders had jumped out of his seat, pumped his fist and yelled “yeah” while the commish was still talking.  Asked why he liked the pick, Prime [...]

Blazers: Did I mention I picked up a ticket package a few weeks back? I gave a few of the seats away for Christmas and will no doubt be giving a few more out as things come up down the line. 20 games for $100 is a helluva deal. Yesterday’s game [...]

Winter Hawks: If you’ve been thinking about attending a Hawks game this season but are unsure when to go, might I suggest Friday December 28th against the Moose Jaw Warriors. You can get your tickets here. Why do I recommend that game? Well, there’s the return of Fraser McLaren, which should [...]

High School Playoffs: I only caught bits and pieces of The Fan’s coverage on Friday night. I was flipping between that game, the Winter Hawks game, and Don and Mike. I guess Tualatin pulled their game out. How about that. Now they get to play Sheldon, the team that knocked [...]

Sorry for the late post today. I worked late last night then was up early this morning. I had to set my alarm! The weekend overall was relaxing. I didn’t eat nearly as much as some would have liked, but whatever. I watched some football and made a couple of [...]

Oregon City Pioneers:  Many mocked me this weekend over the loss at Redmond.  There’s no shame in it.  Is Redmond that great?  No.  But neither were the Pioneers.  That they even made the playoffs was an accomplishment.  It’s on now to basketball season.  With Kevin Love out of the league, things should open up for [...]

It took me a few days to find my groove in this unexpected little vacation of mine. Now that I’ve quit panicking, it’s actually been quite refreshing. I still have one more day to go today then it’s back to work.
What have I been up to in the meantime? Glad you asked.
Oregon [...]

It’s been a lot of fun having the soccer defenders over for the weekend. My hit meter has been going through the roof. So I’d like to thank you all for participating. A few of you got whacked for a) language and b) name-calling. But overall, I think it was a [...]

I have no idea how much money Oregon State made for playing on ESPN last night.  I sure hope it was worth it.  Paul Buker gets it about right.  The cats on The Fan tried to warn me that Canfield would make me want to pull what’s left of my hair out.  Moevao didn’t do [...]
