Professional update:
After primarily covering high school sports in Oregon over the last decade, your boy is moving to covering the @portlandfire.bsky.social for the @oregonian.com. Very excited to get to cover a brand new @wnba.com franchise in a city that is feral over women's sports.

I had to find this incredible footage and it's true.

Master Chief handed off the Xbox Bowl trophy, which has a functioning ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X at the center of it, to Butch Jones for the Arkansas State victory tonight.

Great deep dive on the Division DQ situation 🍦
I went deep on some drama over a DQ drive-thru in SE Portland. The franchisee is arguing with the city over his right to include a drive-thru, despite strict zoning rules. It’s sparked debate among neighbors, many of whom are nostalgic for the old DQ, which this business owner demolished in 2019.
Drive-Thru Debacle Threatens to Keep Historic Dairy Queen in a Deep Freeze
Over the past few years, Portlanders have heard little about the plan to rebuild the old Dairy Queen on Southeast Division and 56th Ave. The Dairy Queen, which was demolished in 2019 after more than 5...

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo leaves game vs Pistons with calf injury
On a day that included a report about Giannis Antetokounmpo's future, he fell to the court just three minutes into the game.

Bucks are calling Giannis’ injury a “calf strain,” and we can only hope that’s all it is. (Because it looked like something far worse.)
A very concerning moment in Milwaukee. Giannis falls down on a non-contact injury and has to summon the trainer onto the floor.

Talk about a day for Giannis and the Bucks franchise. Here's hoping this is not a serious injury 🙏

Tonight's @trailblazers.bsky.social game IS on ABC on YoutubeTV.

This isn't confusing at all!

These refs need to chill on the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

On both sides.

It has been a rough ~50 days of work here...so I invited a co-host from my favorite podcast to hang out and eat Baja Blast pie.

But there is also some actual *news* involved!

Darryn Peterson is back on the menu, boys!
Update: Tiago Splitter says Shaedon Sharpe is out and is scheduled to undergo medical testing on his sore calf. Jerami Grant was going through his regular pregame warmup and seemed likely to play.
The Blazers' injury report just keeps expanding ... Scoot (hamstring), Holiday (calf), Lillard (Achilles), Thybulle (thumb) and Wesley (foot) are out as expected.

Also, Williams (knee management) is out, Sharpe (calf) is doubtful and Grant (illness) is questionable vs. Chicago.

Wait -- I can actually watch this Blazers game via YoutubeTV?

Is this because of the Disney/ABC deal?!?
