Interesting Story on Patty Mills's Background

[e_blazer]

Why does it seem that the Columbian always finds beat reporters that get stories that the Oregonian never seems to give us?

Yes, why is that?

Can you say, "Canzano", Quick", "Freeman"?

Sure, I knew you could.

Wow, f'ing brutal!

Fantastic article. Jesus, it's nice to remember that there can be good sports journalism in this town, and not just a fucking marketing extension of the Blazers, or an antagonistic pissing-match style of writing to stir the pot and sell papers.

The article made me search and read about the "Stolen Generation" and the "History Wars."

The Oregonian is childish trash. The owners are apparently angry all the time, so they think their readers are, too, so they keep an angry runt like Canzano to bark at the Moon. Real intelligent.

Patty's dad has been here all winter and his whole family was here during the holidays. Amazing people. Great story, amazing that things like this go on.

Have you ever lost your boomerang in the trees when you play with it?

Great read. Props to Matt Calkins for writing it.

Good article. I've read a little bit about The Stolen Generation in the past.
