While I love a well timed F-Bomb, I agree with @billoram. 100% uncool to call your players an f-ing joke. The coaches have clearly failed to prepare the players for success. @OregonState and @BeaverFootball deserve better from our coaching professionals. #beavernation #GoBeavs

Given how last year started for the Ducks and how it ended, I'd say this is a reasonable hope.

Hey, Tom Dundon. If you're going to own the Trail Blazers, there's a few things you should know. My letter to the man who now seemingly controls Portland's destiny: https://t.co/6c52Ve349i

The Trail Blazers aren't just a team, they're a treasure.

Can confirm Sportico report that Blazers have reached a deal to sell to group led by Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon, with intent to keep the team in Portland. Story to come..

i think resumes are very bad vehicles for technical backgrounds. Any LLM can make it semi compelling resume but all lack context to properly eval the candidate's contributions.. let's skip all the resumes and instead let recruiters just chat with an agent representing seekers..

"Dame really is different. One of one. Special. "By returning to the city that loves him and the franchise that nurtured him, he has performed an act that is unprecedented in NBA history." @billoram on Dame's return to Portland. https://t.co/g3A9MTm7xZ

Before requesting a trade two years ago, Lillard swore he was loyal to Portland. With decision to return as a surprise free agent, he backed that up.

Doing this announcement for national TV and not for Portland is just the latest example of how the (ugh) Fire has bungled this rollout.
Portland could not see this announcement on Tuesday morning (5:50 a.m.), as local TV reported from outside The Sports Bra. From the live hit, screams could be heard inside the building as the Portland Fire name and logo was revealed to East Coast viewers of Good Morning America.

The Trail Blazers and Damian Lillard are both on individual journeys of discovery that should not involve each other. Not yet. https://t.co/T6qmkbAMx2

Lillard's dreams of an eventual reunion should be shared by the Blazers and GM Joe Cronin. But the superstar needs to first find out what kind of player he is post-injury.

A quiet admission: I’m deeply proud of the life I’ve helped build for my 8-year-old son. But some nights, I lie awake… Afraid I might ruin it all for him. This is the paradox of abundance — and how I’m trying to navigate it as a parent.

I just want to echo what Dan said here, that he should try to be more like me. Congrats, bud!
I’m in awe of the foundation set by @billoram and @jovanbuha at this company and the way they covered this franchise, connected with readers and found innovative ways to reach Lakers fans. It’s a template I hope I’m able to follow.

A forceful nudge from a concerned cousin. A shared medical journey. And, on Monday, a triumphant, tearful run through the streets of Boston. An inspiring story for your Friday: https://t.co/NDdIWEmL4Z

Inspired by the memory of the cousin who urged him to get a colonoscopy, Tualatin's Matt Hazard fulfilled a lifelong dream this week.
