The Pacific Northwest is bicycle mad. Workers use their bikes for commutes, and recreational cycling is closer to performance cycling. Looking through the list of cycling route maps available through the Adventure Cycling Association reveals at least six cycling routes that can take a rider through Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Cycling may not be a […]

With the arrival of Mike Johnston back to the fold of the Portland Winterhawks hockey club, many questions arose as to how competitive they would be. With the end of the WHL-imposed sanctions coming next season, Portland would rely on list players, the remainder of last year’s team which was heavy on youth and weak […]

We’re three weeks into the college football season, and things are starting to heat up as conference play begins across the country. I went 11-3 last week, bringing my record on the season to 30-8. Here are the Week 4 picks. Utah 34, USC 20 – Long live SC! Ole Miss 45, Georgia 21 – […]

All four NFC West teams are currently tied at 1-1, San Francisco is the only team without a blemish on their conference record, which makes this Sunday’s game between the Seahawks and the 49ers more meaningful than most week three matchups. There is still plenty of football season left regardless of the outcome, but with […]

Orel Hershiser. Curt Schilling. John Smoltz. Tom Glavine. Mariano Rivera. These are just some of names that live in October baseball lore; legendary pitchers who have forever etched their names as some of baseball’s best postseason hurlers. As Major League Baseball draws ever closer to the playoffs, some of the best moments we have witnessed […]

Despite a personal preference for empirical data, I often anchor my trust in such data with “the eye test.” So, after two weeks of watching the Seattle Seahawks, the eye test is telling me that their offensive line stinks. Now out for the first time this season, the advanced stats at Football Outsiders confirms this […]

Last year I picked 5 games each week. Of the 17 weeks of the regular season last year, I had three weeks where I chose correctly in only 1 game. That’s not exactly breaking Vegas. Well, to start this season, I have had two consecutive one-win weeks. The good thing about last year is that […]

After barely beating the lowly Miami Dolphins 12-10 and losing a pitiful game to the Los Angeles Rams 9-3, the Seattle Seahawks sit at 1-1. Seattle’s offense looks terrible with a combined total of 15 points through two games. They rank 21st in passing yards, 18th in rushing yards and second to last in points […]

Earlier this year, Ben Egli suffered his first professional loss. For a fighter like Egli, who had never even lost one round in his professional career, this was an odd feeling. That night following the loss, I spent some time with him as he tried to decompress. He held a drink in one hand that […]

Team USA entered the World Cup of Hockey with a self-described gritty team built to shut down powerhouse Team Canada. They only thing Team USA shut down was its own chances at competition. GM Dean Lombardi and coach John Tortorella stood defiantly by their roster until the bitter end. USA scored two goals in two […]

A wise man once told me that life isn’t about the destination, it’s about the journey. Now, I can’t say for sure who that wise man (or woman) was, but, I know I’ve heard that line before, and as I get older and older, it’s become clear that this person (whoever you are) was absolutely […]

Portland picked up three wins during their initial run in Everett, WA and added two more after losing a shootout game in Kennewick, WA.

When Nebraska linebacker Michael Rose-Ivy took down Oregon quarterback Dakota Prukop on fourth down and twenty and it was finally over, Memorial Stadium exploded like it hasn’t since late 90s. Huskers 35, Ducks 32. Final. And that’s just the beginning of the story, because for different and converging reasons, Mike Riley and Nebraska needed this […]

The Portland Timbers earned a badly-needed three points on Saturday after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union, coming only three days after a disappointing road trip to Costa Rica. The victory puts Portland in fifth place in the Western Conference after 30 games, six points clear of rival Seattle (who have only played […]

As he’ll tell you, it happened quickly. So when Mike Riley took the Nebraska job two Decembers ago, he didn’t know that the Cornhuskers had the Oregon Ducks scheduled for a date in Lincoln in September 2016. But it didn’t take him long to find out. On Saturday afternoon, the coach and Oregon will be […]

It was only about two weeks ago that I, like most people, wrote off the Seattle Mariners as playoff contenders. They were playing poorly to the tune of a 2-10 record from Aug. 23 – through Sept. 4 and were all but ruled out with so many teams ahead of them chasing the final wild […]

The return of fan favorite General Manager and Head Coach Mike Johnston at the end of the 2015-2016 season sounded like a boon for Portland Winterhawks fans, and now that point of view comes complete with illustrations; with six preseason games squeezed into the first ten days of September, the Hawks are hot. Going 5-1 […]
