Because he knows about my ‘interactions’ with John about CBA and salary issues over the years, I thought the link was an April Fool’s joke, but it looks to be legitimate.

Congratulations to John! When he’s writing human interest pieces, he’s in his element. And when he’s writing about the CBA and NBA player salaries, he should get back to writing human interest pieces.

I must admit I didn’t follow the Oregonian’s coverage there at all, but not bad for a regional newspaper to send a sports columnist there. And apparently he did a good job to cover it. Congratulations to John.

And may Quick win it next year for his detailed background stories over the summer and “behind the locker room door” :)

admit it – you read him…

There is great radio show on NPR from 3-6pm… it’s called “All Things Considered”. Not a lot of sports stories, but most of the information is very interesting and sometimes it even makes you think. And there isn’t much in the way of overhyping or staging pointless debates to try and drum up phonecalls from the listeners.

I highly recommend this program. It’s a nice way to break up your day after spending the previous nine hours listening to the MSP, Rome, and Wheels (or Colin if that’s your preference)… and it gives you something else to talk about besides the Blazers or sports with friends and family (and they’ll thank you for it).
