Memo to Mike Vick supporters....

11:56 PM Wed, Aug 22, 2007 |

STOP IT ALREADY!! Is that clear enough? This case is spiraling outta control enough. We don't need your senseless wit to try to "soothe" the situation. If you want to defend him....do it on your own time! Don't bore us with this "he's being victimized" garbage! If I sound angry, you hit it on the head. This bothers me more and more each and every day that passes. It bothers me more because I have two dogs (Murphy & Oden). I wo...



What can Brown do for you?

5:59 PM Fri, Aug 17, 2007 |

It's Day Two at the AST Dew Tour over at the Rose Quarter. To see it all "up close" just really blows you away. That said, I'm glad I wasn't at X-Games XIII just two weeks ago to watch skateboarder Jake Brown. You've all seen it.....the fall from 45 feet up straight to the ramp below? Yikes...and double yikes! He cheated death indeed. Got the chance to talk to Brown today. He's in Portland....but obviously, he's not competing. ...



Colin Cowherd...Back in PDX

7:43 PM Mon, Aug 13, 2007 |

Portland is his home away from home! He's a Northwest native...now trapped in Hartford, Connecticut these days. And each weekday morning, he delights his countless listeners across the nation. None more than right here in the Rose City. Portland is where "The Herd" is listened to most. He's none other than former KGW Sports Director Colin Cowherd....who stopped by our studio on Sunday night. And what a riot we had! In fact, I wo...



Now only Sadaharu Oh remains....

11:51 PM Tue, Aug 07, 2007 |

Because it's fun to think about.....Barry Lamar Bonds only needs 112 more home runs to be the REAL all-time leader.
I bring this up...because while watching the Bonds' postgame press conference tonight.....a Japanese reporter asked "how does it feel knowing that Sadaharu Oh has more home runs than you?" Barry's response...."Congratulations Sadaharu!"
It was a timeless memory for me....as it shed a little humor on the whole situat...



You diggin' this???

10:59 PM Mon, Aug 06, 2007 |

I'm finding myself entranced by this whole Barry Bonds circus. Maybe because it's my job to be "informed". The more I think about it.....the more disgusted I get. Tonight, as the Giants returned home, I found myself getting up and watching his every at bat.

I feel like I'm doing myself a little disservice...because I really DON'T want Bonds to break Hank Aaron's record. I should be openly rooting against him.
Look, Bon...



Winterhawks.....an absolute mess!!

6:23 PM Thu, Aug 02, 2007 |

My first experience with hockey was attending an NHL Exhibition at Memorial Coliseum in 1991. At that time, I learned about the Winter Hawks. They were hot.....but not now! And certainly not after today's news. Dean "Scooter" Vrooman, the long-time voice of the Hawks (25 years to be exact), stepped down today. I've known Scooter for about 8 years now....and I know he's one of the hardest working guys I've ever known. A call placed ...
