HARRY POTTER, WIZARD ROYALTY OR SPORTS HERO

February 20, 2016 by

Game changers: Harry Potter, Muhammad Ali, O. J. Simpson. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone showed author J.K. Rowling as a sports writer. Her narration of the games played at Hogwarts was as riveting as any slick play by play. She showed Quidditch in the same light as Al Michaels calling the Miracle On Ice, […]

SEARCHING FOR MARIOTA’S HEISMAN

December 3, 2014 by

The View Of Oregon From The East “West of the Mississippi.” The words could describe another planet, an alien land to our Eastern brothers and sisters who couldn’t find Oregon if you dropped them off on Vancouver’s Waterfront Renaissance Trail and pointed across the Columbia River.

Boomerpdx On Momba’s Best Run

October 23, 2013 by

Are The Ducks Better Without De’Anthony? Come on, man. He’s been out of action, but Thomas’s game impact crosses all borders. Every sports fan watches harder when he touches the ball. Every defensive player knows their best isn’t good enough when he’s in the game. And every coach wants a player just like him. He […]
