Vote Here and You Will Be Famous
Trumpets Blaring.... BIG NEWS ALERT...
Congratulations, guys, you made the Oregonian!
All you had to do was vote in our Blazers Edge polls! Look at you blowing up like bubble gum....
Here's my weekly reminder to voting lurkers: register a screenname and join in the commenting. Out of the shadows! Now!
And, while I'm at it... join our (chronically neglected) facebook group so that you can network with your fellow readers. I promise to update that thing at some point this season. Maybe I'll even facebook message the group an exclusive Blazers picture after every home game? I just thought of that while typing this. That's a pretty good idea! if you need additional motivation, scroll down and check out the beautiful/handsome people you'll be lucky enough to be anonymous, internet friends with... Your fantasies can come true, or at least be stoked by thumbnail images of strangers that share a devotion to a website and professional basketball team. OK, I'll stop.
BE FAMOUS. VOTE NOW. As always, explain yourself in the comments...

Very cool
This sort of thing is how “mainstream” newspapers keep themselves relevant.
Recognizing public movements, even those on the “internets,” is always important.
Journalism.

I try to cultivate interest
But being in the Southwest it’s kind of hard. Something about SEC football. But I never fail to talk up the Blazers and always mention this great blog that I read (after hours of course…).
"From Bill Walton to Brandon Roy, we wanna know it all
From Clyde Drexler to Greg Oden, from the basket to the ball
Every move they make is covered, somebody make the call
The shot clock's always running at Blazers Edge"
because its the best
I have looked at other blazer sites, and they are not bad or anything, and I respect anyone making an effort. However, ever since I started reading B.E. I always find myself telling people about things I read there, it’s the best Blazer fan site for sure!
oh no
this is not good news for blazers edge, this kind of mainstream success is going to tear the band apart, did anyone notice that last night Dave posted something, and this morning Ben posted something right on top of it? Its only a matter of time before this escalates into a fight over who has the biggest hair, then they’ll both leave to start solo blogs.
and it appears that someone voted ‘I am other:’ without leaving an explaination, shame on you, this is a catastrophe!
I'm not surprised...
If Kevin Pritchard reads Blazer’s Edge, than the people at the Oregonian must read BE.
Long time lurker, first time poster
I for one am not surprised that poll results were featured in the newspaper. When you want to know what Blazers fans are thinking there isn’t a better place to check than Blazers Edge. The blog content is top notch and community is very friendly. Keep up the good work guys and I’ll be seeing you in comments and maybe the forums from now on.
otherness..
… i feel a little undeserving because i’m such a joey-come-lately (had long hiatus from being into the NBA until the Warriors knocked off the Mavs two seasons ago), but my passion for the Blazers and basketball is sincere so i’m starting to feel worthy again. Thanks Dave and others for your excellent coverage, analysis, and general eloquent blogitivity.
Ben, YOU ARE FAMOUS!

"Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcreaft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians. [speech at GOP Presidential Convention 1992] Rev. Pat Robertson
I'm being a bit critical here, but
I think White’s article is behind BlazersEdge as far as content on Trailblazer information. In other words, I think most people if given the choice would read BE than White’s column. Jason Quick is definitely better than BE, and Joe Freeman is OK. Just my 2 cents… also, White’s writing seems a bit amatuer for the oregonian… therefore, i could care less… if this was quick, i think it would be different.
I've said it before and I'll say it again
Ryan White needs a haircut. He’s still good people in my book thought.

Are we ready for a surge in traffic around here?
Or maybe it already happened. There have been a lot of fanposts lately.

Is it just me or is OregonLive down right now
I try to do anything oregonlive (the link, oregonlive.com….oregonlive.com/blazers) and the page is supposedly loading and it says
waiting for ads.oregonlive.com
and nothing happens….
just me, or an epidemic?
He who laughs last thinks slowest.
and does anyone know the difference between an epidemic and a pandemic?
He who laughs last thinks slowest.
Well..
A Pandemic is an Epidemic that hits large areas of human population, could be a city, state, country, or even continent. An Epidemic is a sudden surge of an unexpected disease in the Human Race.

BEdge is better than newspapers and magazines!
While the Oregonian and their staff of great sports writers offer good articles and insight, I think BEdge offers so much more with several posts daily by Dave and Ben, lets not forget all the regular fanpost/shots that invoke deep meaningful debates. I have loved this sight since by Bro-in-law told me about it a few months ago.
But he's a 7 foot question mark that can bam it on your face.
Democracy is alive and well!
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
Too bad the writer didn't insert a link to your website inside his story
Oregonlive’s sports section has a good Google PR. That link would have increased your relevancy under certain keywords and phrases pertaining to the Trail Blazers. And as we know in the online biz – search engine traffic is king.
But other than that, blah.
when i get sad, i stop being sad & become awesome again. true story.
