Coach Mike Krzyzewski is on the Dan Patrick Show and Kyle Singler’s name came up a couple times. First off, the Duke mentor is very engaging as he answers a variety of questions. Singler was first brought up during commercial break, when Patrick was shooting baskets in his studio and proclaimed himself to be “the [...]
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 [...]
The Cascade Christian boys basketball team members will pay their respects tonight to the mother of team manager Micah Johnson and the wife of avid fan Robert Johnson. Rosann Johnson passed away on Jan. 3 following a heart attack the night before. Micah, a 2008 graduate of the school and a student at Rogue Community College, learned [...]
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, [...]
I received results of the Rogue Warrior Cage Fights in my e-mail today. The show was a success, according to promoter Mike Brown, and another has been scheduled for April 17. 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 [...]
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. The [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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. This morning, it was replayed on ESPN2′s First Take [...]
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, [...]
