Blazers now 4-0 for the first time since 1999-00.

Suddenly turning into an interesting year for PNW sports fans, against all odds....

Awesome start to the season. I’m loving Grant and Sharpe so far.

Lakers 0-3. Keep it up, LeBron.

I agree.

BOO Astros

You guys would just be eating up Denver talk radio right now. They are already lamenting the Wilson deal as potentially the worst of all time in the NFL... especially since next year's draft class is supposed to be pretty strong.

I started following 104.3 The Fan a few weeks back and sometimes listen in now.   I have also watched a few of their Coffee Break videos they post daily which is an informal discussion amongst some their hosts on Zoom from their homes.  Very entertaining.

People should replace their BOO Halloween decorations with BOO ASTROS signs.

I think the odds should be +2500 but still pretty sweet if it’s true.

It’s almost hard to watch at this point. I start feeling sort of bad for taking such pleasure in his struggles and then he makes a comment about wolverine blood or Jesus and I feel good about it again.

I think we were in the late 20’s a few weeks ago.

I actually checked the espn preseason rankings. Seahawks were 26 preseason, 13 now. I’m still kind of waiting for the wheels to fall off based on my decades of Seattle sports fandom, but we’ll see.

So true... as soon as we start anointing the Seahawks as a playoff team and expectations start rising then it will probably all fall apart.   I like it better with low expectations.

And one more!

He just makes it so easy to dislike him.

That man better take out a second mortgage and put at least 50K on the Phillies to win.

He is only out $50 if the Phillies win.

Not hedging that bet at this point would be incredibly stupid. 
 

Put 50K on the Phillies to win and he wins major money no matter what.

 

Also, looks like the oddsmakers made a mistake and that should have been 250 to 1 odds and they accidentally made it 2,500 to 1.

Interesting.    He says he is not going to hedge.   Probably nervous about not honoring the erroreneously inflated odds.   But there is too much publicity for MGM to back out now.

Lakers 0-4. Let's go for 0-82.

Rowan reached new heights on Jeopardy today. I hope they/xe doesn't win the Tournament of Champions.

Looks like it’s officially over…Just like his career. If he would have just stayed retired his “GOAT” status would not have been tarnished by this crapfest of a season he is having and he would probably still be married!

I am as big a Brady fan as anyone, but what is going on this season is just sad. Personal life falling apart, he looks like he has a terminal illness, and his play on the field is abysmal.

Cougars have sure crapped the bed since their hot start.

Nice that Garcia who shut us down for all those extra innings gave up the home run that resulted in the Astros loss.   

But the Astros were on the verge of another walk-off win there.   Base hit away.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Good to hear Astros lost.
