The Time is Now for Blazers...

11:14 PM Mon, Feb 18, 2008 |

by Adam Bjaranson

We have had Blazer Mania many times this season. But we crave for more, don't we? As a journalist covering the team I grew up rooting for....it's genuinely a great time. After hearing Greg Oden was gonna be on the shelf for the entire season....I predicted Portland would win 31 games--the same as the year before. I wasn't sure how LaMarcus Aldridge would fare as Z'bo's replacement. If Travis Outlaw would f...

aka: Why I don't care about Roger Clemens
By Craig Edwards


After months of mudslinging between the two sides, Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee both appeared, under oath, in front of members of Congress today. And we learned.... drumroll please.... Nada!! Nothing!!! Not a bloody thing worth any real substance!!

Both men stuck to their stories. McNamee insists he injected Clemens with steroids at the Rocket's requ...



Portland's Gladiator One Step Closer....

By Adam Bjaranson

Monica Carlson is one driven mom! Not only is she the mother of twin daughters....but she's now just 1 step closer to bringing home a hefty $100,000 bucks in prize money (as well as a new Toyota Sequoia). On Monday night, Monica made quick work of the remaining contestants on NBC's new hit reality show American Gladiators....and has punched her ticket to the finals. She remains sworn to secrecy....but I like h...

Seattle football fans now know who will replace Mike Holmgren after he leaves the Seahawks following next season. Your winner is .......... Jim Mora, the same guy everyone thought it would be after Holmgren announced his decision a couple weeks ago. Mora even gave up a chance at the Washington Redskins' heading coaching job because he probably knew this was coming (granted, the situation in our nation's capital wou...

What a football game. By now I've seen more than 40 Super Bowl's on TV. I can still remember watching the first one with my dad. I remember the Chiefs big defensive lineman Buck Buchanan.

There have been a lot of great games that followed...and many not so great. This year's game was a great one! You couldn't ask for a better fourth qtr. Tom Brady did what he's done so many times...drive the Patriots the...



The "Boss Man"....Super Bowl Champ!!

11:24 PM Sun, Feb 03, 2008 |

It's roughly 4 hours after the conclusion of Super Bowl XLII. And I can't say I've seen a more excited group of news people! The NY Giants pull over the sports stunner of the decade....beating previously unbeaten New England, 17-14. And, by now---if your an Oregonian---you know that Philomath's Kevin Boss played a pretty big part.
With the Giants trailing in the 4th quarter....the 6' 7" rookie tight end got loose....and caught...

Wow! I write this about four hours removed from the end of Super Bowl 42. To be honest, I'm still trying to calm down from all the excitement.

First, there was Oregon native Kevin Boss making his only Super Bowl catch count in a big way. Boss caught the pass from Eli Manning at the Giants' 39 yard line... and took it nearly half the field. The 45-yard play set up the Giants' second score, a touchdown pu...
