Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers meet the Chicago Bulls in the 1992 NBA Finals just another crummy early season game. I’d trade it all to be back in 1992, just for a fleeting glimpse at Lamont Strothers. That name really brings me back. I wonder what happened to Lamont? “He […]

Blazers vs Timberwolves – Hot Live Blog Action
Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers meet the Minnesota Timberwolves. Last night the Blazers went to Golden State (that’s the NBA’s nice way of saying “Oakland”) and got their dignity handed to them by a Warriors team that nearly forfeited due to not having enough players. The Warriors used the NBA’s […]

Blazers vs Pistons – Hot Live Blog Action
Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Detroit Pistons. The Blazers are fresh from a five game road trip, and much like this movie, a great time was had by all. There were laughs, tears (mostly from Travis Outlaw), and four victories to one measly defeat. The Pistons on […]

Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No
I don’t think there will ever be a greater sports-related, or drug-releated, story than the tale of Doc Ellis. A former pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Ellis is famous for being one of the handful of professional athletes to have thrown a no-hitter in the big leagues. Oh yeah, he pitched that no-hitter while high […]

Wheelbarrow Races: These Guys are on OUR Team
A lot of you guys have been challenging the Mercury to a wheelbarrow race. Look—if we accepted all of your challenges, we wouldn’t have to time to compete in other sports such as the egg toss, and the “drink a beer, run to the end of the yard, put your forehead on the end of […]

Rumors Of An MLS Players’ Strike
Ah, sweet mystery of life…the MLS players’ union is rumored to be talking about a strike: No doubt the players do need increases in salaries, especially at the bottom of the pecking order. You just can’t tell me or anyone that making $14,000-$18,000 a year as a professional soccer player is really worth it and […]

Blazers vs Timberwolves – Hot Live Blog Action
Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Evidently the Timberwolves are an actual basketball team and not just a promotional vehicle for the Twilight: New Moon. I guess that would explain why my fantasy team is doing so poorly, I drafted these four guys. Then again, it […]

Blazers vs Spurs – Hot Live Blog Action
Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers meet the San Antonio Spurs in competitive five-on-five indoor basketball. Portland’s 2-3 start isn’t exactly the impressive beginning most fans were hoping for, but the Blazers have opened at a 2-3 clip eight of the past nine years, including last year’s 54 win season. What’s […]

I Need to Watch More Women’s Soccer!
I always think it’s hilarious that soccer guys think they’re so tough. However, I will NEVER, EVER, EVER say that about women’s soccer—especially after seeing these gals in action. The BYU Women’s Soccer Team takes on New Mexico… and JESUS CHRIST! It’s like Reservoir Dogs out there!! Pour a can of gasoline on her, why […]

Hot Live Blog Action: Blazers vs. Hawks
PREGAME An unfamiliar thing happened last week: I got depressed over a game. The Blazers lost a close one to the Nuggets because Greg Oden brick’d two free throws (like we knew he would) and I—along with a handful of friends who watched together—fell into the dumps. And though that somewhat familiar feeling was unwelcome, […]

Avatar: Don’t Worry! It’s Just Like Baseball!
Fox has apparently come up with only two ways to market Avatar: 1) Just in case you forgot this fact sometime in the past decade or so, James Cameron is a visionary genius and you owe it to yourself to experience his latest epic creation, even if it does look kinda like Dances with Smurfs […]

Blazers vs Nuggets – Hot Live Blog Action
Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Denver Nuggets in a really important basketball game. The reason tonight is so important—other than it being Winona Ryder’s birthday (Happy 37th, babe.)—is because the Northwest Division will most likely come down to Portland and Denver, and the margin between the two […]
