Super Bowl Prediction

February 5th, 2010 by isaac ropp

COLTS 40, SAINTS 27

The last five #1 seeds from the NFC to make the Super Bowl have lost: Bears, Seahawks, Eagles, Rams, Giants. It’s easier to get a top-seed in the NFC without being great. Meanwhile, the AFC is riddled with perennial powers like the Patriots, Colts and Steelers. I’m convinced even AFC teams like the Ravens and Chargers would dominate the NFC.

Bottom line: Colts are the better team. They SHOULD be undefeated and we SHOULD be debating their merits as one of the best of all-time. Peyton Manning is undeniable. He’s in complete control and playing the best football of his career. Dallas Clark is a match up nightmare and the Saints defense just isn’t great. Saints will score but Indy won’t be stopped.

Be at Big Al’s on Sunday with us and hot chicks

EWU’s going to red turf. Here’s the story. Now picture yellow turf in Eugene, orange in Corvallis. Obnoxious.

Roy/Kroger: a duo from heaven

January 28th, 2010 by isaac ropp

Here’s the new child substance abuse ad featuring a kick-ass Wonder Twin super power tandem of Brandon Roy and one of our leaders of men Oregon Attorney General John Kroger.

Muy interesante 45-minutes of Kroger in-studio on Club 1080:

LISTEN HERE

I spoke with Roy Wednesday after the Utah loss and it’s not lookin’ good, folks. I’d be surprised if he plays at all over the next seven days or in the All-Star Game. It’s danger zone time for this team and its hopes of making the playoffs.

Great Oden’s Raven!

January 27th, 2010 by isaac ropp

Greg Oden’s junk on the internet isn’t a huge deal to me but it does reflect poorly on him and the organization. With situations like this, I’m always less focused on the action and more interested in how the individual handles it once public. If you want a clinic on how to diffuse controversial off-court situations, the Blazers put one on last night. Greg Oden requested to come out and tell the truth. He did just that with contrition and humility. Even the GM spoke from the heart about the situation on our show. Well played. Nipped in the bud. No more speculation. End of story. We can all move on. That’s how it’s done.

GM Kevin Pritchard on Primetime discussing Oden:

LISTEN HERE

One last thing. I absolutely love it when people mock the tense, over-the-top self importance of sports press conferences. Most pressers are truly ridiculous in their raw form. Last night that happened when a female reporter asked Greg Oden what he was embarrassed about considering the size of his mutton. Certainly awkward and quite a bit off-sides but fantastic nonetheless.

Travis Demers identifies her and promptly rips here on his blog.

That’s enough fun for one day. Now, let’s all move on…

My new fascination

They are giving me crap on the show but I do believe I’m in love with Claire Danes. Is she not stunning?

Sorry Blazer fans…

January 21st, 2010 by isaac ropp

I know Blazer fans have been told the latest ruling by the FCC may affect their ability to view the Blazers on satellite in the future. That’s not the case. You see Comcast SportsNet is already available to satellite providers, it’s just not carried by satellite providers. The ruling as stated above:

“Comcast SportsNet is distributed via microwave to regional cable systems.  This system has allowed the cable provider to withhold the channel from satellite providers like Direct TV.  But the FCC now says Comcast has to sell that content to competitors.”

Again, it’s vital to note that in this market CSN is already selling its content to competitors. The issue is that some competitors don’t want to buy it. Therefore, this particular ruling is meaningless for Portland. More on this today with Comcast spokesperson Tim Fitzgerald @ 5:30.
