When NCAA tourney is in town, I always get flashbacks to 2012, when it was here and Blazers had one of those blow-up-the-season days, firing Nate McMillan, trading Marcus Camby and Gerald Wallace. Team had to do media stuff in offices because NCAA took over whole arena. Wild day!

🚨 THEY JUST ADMITTED IT: "NO AUTOPSY" 🚨 LISTEN CLOSELY to the dispatch audio: “He did not go in for an autopsy. The death certificate was signed by the doctor at the hospital.” No autopsy. Signed off inside the hospital. A political assassination. A homicide. An active investigation. Charlie Kirk's body was evidence. Especially in a case this questionable. What don’t they want the public to know??

This thing with Ichiro being one vote shy of unanimous HOF reminds me of when a Toronto broadcaster was the lone voter who kept Brandon Roy from being unanimous Rookie of the Year. At least that voter came forward

You know, it would nice if the news about the Blazers' next TV home is broken by a local reporter instead those two national dudes.

I think after France beat Fiji in the Rugby 7s gold medal game, you can pretty much cancel the rest of the Olympics. It's not going to get better than that!

Fubo sent an email saying it is raising its basic monthly rate by $5 and regional sports fee by $1. There's only one reason anyone around here gets Fubo, and that reason isn't playing well right now. Maybe consider waiting until May to raise your rates, Fubo?

Might just be me, but I really don't think simple, basic stats should be presented as "analytics."

RIP Russ Francis, who was a titan in sports when I was growing up in Hawaii. A great tight end ("all-world," as Howard Cosell said) in the NFL, he also worked for his family's pro wrestling business in Hawaii and as a sportscaster.

Francis, who played at Oregon, had a big impact on the career of another UO grad, Neil Everett, when they were both in Hawaii. From a story I wrote in 2015:

Oh, I completely forgot that Terry Stotts is now an assistant coach with Milwaukee. Would've never thought he'd get to work with Dame again.

Nice to hear @CHold on @DirtAndSprague serving as the voice of reason about Dame situation. Station should just pre-empt all else and play that section on a loop.

My takeaway from last two Blazers seasons: The NBA system for deciding draft order is rotten and needs to be fixed so teams don't have to lose on purpose. Heck, give the No. 1 pick to the team with best record outside playoffs. Incentivize wins, not losses. Tanking is a cancer.

My recommendation: If you have to, have to trade Dame, make sure you get Otis Thorpe, Marcelo Nicola and a draft pick with which you can take Randolph Childress. And send him to a team that will win the title next season.

That's surely the greatest performance ever for a player who shot 3 for 19. Props to Russ.

The stuff you find while spring cleaning. Still the best chant when the Blazers had 99 points. This one expired 12/31/11.

By the standard of tank games, that was a pretty entertaining Blazers effort.

Hey, I didn't know Terry Stotts is doing NBA-TV commentary. Good to see him!
