Portland Trail Blazer Fantasy Coaching Combinations For Baby Boomers

December 17, 2013 by David Gillaspie

What stood out most in last night’s Blazer vs Pistons NBA game? The late game heroics of Damian Lillard closing the door? The fierce pace of LaMarcus Aldridge? Robin Lopez warming up the Detroit mascot? The half-filled arena in a bankrupt American city? Or was it the familiar faces on the Detroit coaching staff?

SUNDAY WRESTLING DRIVE TO OREGON STATE

November 18, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

I took a Sunday wrestling drive to Corvallis for a match. But it’s always more than a wrestling match at Oregon State. It always turns into a question of decisions made and paths taken. While it’s always a fun time, this time stood out.

OREGON LOCATION FINALLY REVEALED

November 17, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

The Oregon location is where it’s always been, somewhere between Seattle and San Francisco. That’s what I got from talking to foreigners in their own country. No idea of Oregon, Washington, or Portland. But Seattle? Yes. California? Yes. Why does Oregon get the same confused reaction from sports analysts?

OREGON DREAM SEASON CONTINUES @ #1

The Oregon dream season at #1 in the nation continues. In what was called an introductory season in the Big 10, with low expectations playing against the traditional powerhouses of college football, has turned into a dream season. The other teams in the conference know the drill. Oregon would have to work their way in […]

The Oregon Ducks show no signs of slowing down. They’re not migrating, not flying south for the winter, not going anywhere. No problems in Duck-land?

ACCEPTING FAILURE? LESSONS FROM LeBRON

November 6, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

If you’re good at accepting failure, it means one thing: You tried, given it your best, and it wasn’t enough. You’ve done it, I’ve done it. If you haven’t done it, it’s coming. Accept failure to get better, and who doesn’t want to get better?

ANGRY OLD MAN CHEWED ME OUT

October 31, 2024 by David Gillaspie 2 Comments

An angry old man is a dangerous man . . . to himself. Wind some guy up and they’ll do things they don’t ordinarily do. Why? Because they’re mad, they’re not happy, they are fuming. Most of the time they get over it unless someone lights their fuse.

HPV-16 cancer is on the ballot this time around. You wouldn’t know it because there’s no hoopla, but it’s there. Sometimes it’s here, sometimes it’s there, but most of the time it’s a mystery. But, dear readers, as you know, cancer of any kind is a hard road to travel. What are my cancer talk […]

DAMAGED MEN DON’T ASK FOR BAND-AIDS?

October 28, 2024 by David Gillaspie 2 Comments

Damaged men are all around, but you’d never know it. Why? Not because they tell you, because they don’t. In a show and tell world, they do the show part better than the tell part.
