COLIN COWHERD IN PORTLAND

When a man moves from east coast to west, two things happen. One if you’re Colin Cowherd. I am a fan of sports talk radio. Why? Because there’s no place in all of media that plays voices from all over America. Mostly man voices, and it was mostly men who attended Colin Cowherd’s book signing […]

DUCK FOOTBALL vs BRIDAL SHOWER

Oregon Duck football shows up against USC, and a bridal shower wins the day. Modern mass media offers every which way to watch a Duck football game. From TV, radio, and online, to actually going to the stadium, I found a new way. It turned out so good I’d do it again, but since it […]

SHARED MUSEUM DREAM

A museum dream from MAC’s big window. Regulars at Portland’s Multnomah Athletic Club walk in with the same stride they have walking into a grocery store. Just another door. But if you haven’t been a regular, as in never been inside, only seen the big window and balcony from the stadium stands, it feels like […]

SPORTS TALK RADIO: ADDING UP ADS

Talking the talk on sports ads for sports talk radio. How important is it to connect the dots when you’re figuring things out on sports talk radio? If you don’t make the connections, someone else will, and you’re left wondering what they left out. The rise of sports talk radio is the focus here. How […]

RONDA ROUSEY, STUDENT OF ALI?

Is Ronda Rousey a teacher or a student? What have we learned? Muhammad Ali loved to talk about how pretty he was as a young man, how no fighter could lay a glove on him, cut him, or beat him. And he was right for quite a while before the big hits landed. Young Ali […]

OREGON SPORTS DIAMONDS

The jewels of Oregon sports get ready to shine brighter than ever in the new Oregon Sports Hall Of Fame. Out of the shadows of a clouded past you’ll see stars from every year join with the Class of 2015 being inducted at Multnomah Athletic Club, and together enter the new OHOF. From appearances the […]

BOOMER HUMP GYM

If you’ve hit the gym a few years you won’t notice the Boomer Hump Gym. If you’ve just started, stay started with grown men wearing pedal pushers, women in pantyhose/ ‘yoga’ pants. Choose your attire. Have fun. It’s two Olympic looking lifting partners spotting each other with hands on safety at low weight. Get the […]

FORGIVING CAM NEWTON

One More Thing Needs Adding For Cam Newton To Become An Icon. After watching Carolina QB Cam Newton stand astride the NFL on Monday Night Football, I saw a different player than the questionable Auburn player who beat the Oregon Ducks in their first National Championship game. What I saw was a man who deserves […]

OREGON DUCK FOOTBALL MISSION

Win The Game And Win The Hearts And Minds. Mostly The Minds. Oregon Duck football left Arizona with a triple overtime win last night. This is a team recognized in the past five years as a fashion trendsetter. Add two appearances in the college football finals, BCS and otherwise, and the Ducks come away looking […]

A SPORTS MUSEUM OF HOPE

What do you do when you see a star filled night sky? If your name is Vincent Van Gogh you paint a picture that will eventually hang in an art gallery. Maybe you paint two of them. In another instance, look at a piece of marble. Maybe you see something in there. What do you […]
