Oregonian Columnist Single-Handedly Raises the Bar on Sportsmanship

Did Oregonian sports Columnist, John Canzano have a hand in the season long suspension of RB Oregon's LeGarrette Blount for his post game tantrum?




Canzano's post game column was filed at 11:09pm Pacific last night, shortly after the conclusion of the game and the incident demanding that Blount be removed from the University of Oregon football team.

The noon Pacific Friday episode of ESPN's Outside the Lines featured the story and led with a live interview with Kirk Herbstreit who demanded serious action immediately, "There is no need to review the tapes," Herbstreit exalted.

Canazano was featured next, and once again reiterated that Blount needs to be suspended for the whole season.

Very interesting....in a community such as Portland, and Oregon in general, such public discourse can very much have an impact on decisions made on the highest, most profile levels.

Interpret As You Wish

It's certain things said, done, lived experienced that just make you feel (good). More and more music has become that for me.

A few weeks ago I lamented mildly that it has become harder and harder to participate creatively through this blog. Here's my first effort in a while.

Interpret this as you wish:

Is This "Climbing Up To The Moon?"
Or Is It Bailing Out Too Soon?
I Hope We Didn't Wait Too Long.
All That I Wanted To Say - Words Only Got In The Way.
But Then I Found Another Way To Communicate.
Is This "Climbing Up To The Moon?"
Or Is It Fadin Out Too Soon??
I Know We Didn't, I Know We Didn't Wait Too Long -
Cause Anytime's A Good Time To Move On.
Things I Could Say To Myself - I Could Never Say To Anyone Else.
But What Madonna Said Really Helped -
She Said: "Boy - You Better Learn To Express Yourself!"
I Know We Didn't, I Know We Didn't Wait Too Long.
Cause Anytime's A Good Time To Move On.

Some items including post-SPA decompression

It's a amazing that as slow as this blog has been lately, I just received a comment from a post dated April 3rd, 2008 - that's over 4 months ago for those of you keeping score at home!! These inner-tubes of ours never cease to amaze. Anonymous wrote:

I found a Triple Crown logo (the horse racing TC...right?) at http://allpro.stores.yahoo.net/trcrme1.html. When you click on the
'2007 Triple Crown Pin Set', a picture of the items will come up. One of the pins is (I think) the TC logo.

I went and checked it out, but still couldn't find anything resembling a Triple Crown logo. Maybe it's me? Either way, thanks for checking in and trying to offer some insight into this post way back when.

Just got back from my final leg of a summer track tour which started with Belmont and Monmouth in early July; Del Mar opening day in mid July; Santa Rosa/Sonoma Fair late July; and the amazing, beautiful and historic Saratoga - the perfect cap to an unforgettable summer.

Want to give public congratulations to fellow TBA-ers and former TBA-ers who will be dropping Web 2.0 knowledge this September at Red Rocks Casino in Vegas. Maybe you guys can rent the private, VIP bowling lanes at the Red Rock and have a little thingy??

Testing Out FeedBLitz

This post is more geared toward testing out a new feature I just added to the blog that allows you to get email updates every time I post on this blog.

I'll throw in a link here about Curlin's announced Woodward placing.

Also adding a link to the lamest story of them all by using a straight URL: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp08/news/story?id=3520064
