Rookie Bear GM Ryan Pace decided against resigning placekicker Robbie Gould who at the time was da Bears all-time leading scorer and had a FG kicking success rate that exceeded the “legendary” Kevin Butler by over 10 percentage points. (Butler kicked for da Bears around their Super Bowl season and finished his career as the …
Four String Nomad is a great work of art, a composition so beautiful it brings tears to the eyes of all who dare listen. Imagine a great novel of Asia-rising written a hundred years ago, a document of bending and not breaking, a tome of agility, wisdom and wit, a story to vault technology, water, …
For those who don’t follow the NFL, the Chicago Bears experienced a heartbreaking end to their season, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles when the potential game-winning field goal hit both the upright and the crossbar before bouncing back onto the field. It was, as the following post noted, a double doink: https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2019/1/6/18171422/cody-parkey-doink-chicago-bears-wild-card-playoffs-philadelphia-eagles To add insult …
This is smooth, probably the classiest, most high-end video in a long time. “I’m fascinated by Love – the many moods of love,” Arita says. “The heartaches, the heartbreaks, the good side, the bad side, the forever and ever, the make-ups and the break-ups…I’m a bona-fide ‘love junkie,’ addict and dealer – all in one.” …
East Portland Blog has been featuring the excellent music of Wales for a long time now. Perhaps the best example of this is seen in the coverage and analysis Peter Dysart gave to the Joy Formidable in East Portland Blog as far back as 2010. This made EPB an early, even an eccentrically early, adopter …
After their face plant in the first round of the NBA playoffs last season against the New Orleans Pelicans, it was widely expected that the Portland Trail Blazers would acknowledge the competitive ceiling of their roster and trade one or more of their stars in the hope of finding a path at least to the …

Having weathered the worst and basked in the best, New York City singer/songwriter Jennifer Denali shares a full array of feeling in her songs, bringing her audience along for a powerful and moving …
I have to go to sleep early but thankfully I have an incredible sleep aid: British lectures from Gresham College. Gresham died in 1597 and left behind enough money to fund lectures in London until London ceases to be inhabitable. As long as there is a Bank of England, Gresham’s lecture circuit lives on ad …
Prior to seeing the Blazers play the Kings on New Years Day, I took a slight detour to the northern California coast to get a therapeutic dose of nature. The state may have its share of problems, but it’s got some things, such as the tallest trees on earth and ocean sunsets to die for, …
Though my last two trips down to Sacramento have seen losses for the NBA Kings, there is a feeling of optimism there perhaps greater than any since Chris Webber and Mike Bibby brought the Kings within a questionably officiated 2002 Western Conference Finals Game 6 to a likely championship. At 19-18, the Kings are just …

The most gangster move by The GOP was using social media ad buys, bots, and trolls to dupe the Left into attacking the Left. The most mobster thing of all is who they teamed up with. The most demonic thing about this new found power to manipulate the masses is that never before have we …
It’s a Sunday night in late December – post-Christmas blah, still a day to go before New Year’s eve (when I MIGHT have screwed up the energy to go hear a band), when my wife and I heard about a ska-punk band we wanted to hear playing on a bill at Southgate – a bar …
Growing up in God’s Country The first memory I have of Third Ward Elementary School is the sound of my father shooting his rifle. I had moved to Bradford, Pennsylvania just before I began Kindergarten. I went to Third Ward one summer night for the first time with my Dad. He was a marksman and …
