Do I think the teams that play have an affect on viewership ... yes without a doubt but that doesn't change the fact that the NBA has seen a slight decline over the past few years and MLB is on the uptick. Add to MLB in park attendance going up slightly for the 3rd year in a row and things are...

That was one UGLY game ... really hoping we get the last laugh in Pullman but Cougs will be coming off their 3rd cross country trek facing off with a ranked team (looking like James Madison will be top 25 by then) in the eastern timezone, while the Beavs will once again be coming off a bye right...

Shhhhhhhhhhh ... the sport is on it's #DeathBed ... just listen to HCP, kids aren't playing stick ball in the streets of his hood so it's dying!

Almost like how in the NBA there are only the same 4-5 teams that are ever in the running for a big name free agent!

And this was the exact reason I didn't like the signing. I agree, his ego/pride won't let him be a role player, but it's also what has made him great for the better part of his career. Now comes the real test for Dame, with his body breaking down, can he accept that we won't be the star of the...

Worked a 16 hour shift, got home in time for the last quarter and a half of Blazers beating down the lakers, while watching the series on my phone. Figured I'd just stay up for the end of the baseball game and didn't realize it would be 2am here by the finish! Alarm went off at 7 and back at...

Was waiting for this reply ... if only he wasn't coming off a massive injury that will probably take two years to heal and he was an absolute sieve on defense, but yes he should be a deadly spot up shooter next year.

One of the great "What Ifs" for this franchise, along with Walton's injuries, honk once/twice and of course the 84 draft!

They are a fun team to watch, at least they are fun to watch on defense. Love the hustle and effort on that end of the court, along with the ball movement and player movement on offense. When things are clicking for this team, they will beat some really good squads, or at least put some fear...

At least it will keep him out of the Mariners thread! #ProgressBAM

Sadly this franchise remains unserious about doing what it takes to actually win a championship, outside of 'get hot in the playoffs and ride a momentum wave' type of success. They will stay in the high 80s/low 90s win range, good enough to flirt with and get into the playoffs most years thanks...

My favorite part of all this are the people thinking Trump orchestrated all this to "Attack Portland" when the FBI has been investigating this for years. Not sure what is so convenient about the ways people cheat in poker, there are a bunch of tactics used and I never put anything past anyone...

Is there more parity now ... I know over the last few years we've seen an unprecedented number of teams jump up and win titles but over the last 25 years it's the league with the least parity, at least by the metric I think is easiest to understand and thats the number of teams that have played...

I really don't think these incidents have changed how I feel about the league because I've had a pretty low opinion of it for awhile now. I really only care about the Blazers, won't really watch any other teams games other than as background noise and follow the NBA much more through podcasts...

1. Blazers easily the biggest collapse of the 3 2. Mariners, to finally be so close and to have Springer of all people hit that HR ... just infuriating I was cheering for NE in that game and can still remember doing laps around the house when he threw that INT ... was one of the greatest...
