Woman bowler Kulick did much better than when she was here
Kelly Kulick — who competed in Medford three years ago — has been making the sports and network morning shows since she defeated Chris Barnes Sunday to become the first woman to win a PBA event. That she made it a major, the Tournament of Champions, only enhances the story.
Some of the stuff was very [...]

Where’s the story on Tiger, you ask?
A friend sent me a text wondering why there was no story about Tiger Woods being treated at a sex addiction facility. I’m going to say it’s an example of responsible journalism. ESPN began running a crawl yesterday that said a blogger reports Woods has checked into a facility, but no one could confirm it, [...]

In his e-mail, Brown said local fighters won four of the 10 fights.
“I brought in the best in the Northwest,” wrote Brown, “and the locals [...]

Interesting choice of video for Jackson story
I saw a TV report today about Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson being pulled over and briefly handcuffed a few hours before San Diego’s playoff loss to the New York Jets. He was cited for playing loud music, driving with a suspended license and expired tags, and his car was impounded. The police said the handcuffs were standard procedure.

I came across this blog through our resurgent Twitter activity. With Mark McGwire back in the news with a St. Louis Cardinals get-together over the weekend, it seemed appropriate.
There seemed to be excessive panning of how McGwire delivered his apology, and even after he said he was sorry a hundred times, it wasn’t enough. Like manager [...]

Follow us on Twitter
We’ve had meetings the past couple days about our need to heighten our presence in the social media: Twitter, Facebook, RogueCurrent, etc. Better late than never, right? We dabbled in Twitter a little at the end of the summer during American Legion baseball tournaments, then faded. But we’re going at it again.
It’s www.twitter.com, and you search [...]

Brassel’s shot featured on ESPN2’s First Take
North Medford senior Kyle Waits knew what he was talking about when he said the game-winning howitzer by South Medford’s Mike Brassel was worthy of ESPN following their basketball game Tuesday night. Brassel made a three-quarter basket at the buzzer to beat the Black Tornado, 55-54.

I don’t see Riley going to USC
I’ve been asked a couple times since Pete Carroll’s jump from USC to the Seahawks seemed imminent, whether Mike Riley would then jump from Oregon State to USC. I just can’t see it. It’s a gut feeling more than anything, but if ever there was an NCAA D-I coach who came across as a homebody, [...]
