I think the PNW officially has six seasons now: fall; winter; fake spring; spring; good summer; and smoky summer.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

On the role Adam Silver and the NBA will play in determining the Blazers’ future in Portland, whether Tom Dundon wants to keep them here or not www.rosegardenreport.com/why-adam-sil...

Woke up at about 3:30am, to a bunch of rounds of gunfire. It was echoing and I couldn't tell what direction it was coming from? Felt like it was a moving car. Haven't seen anything on news. Hope everyone is okay, or maybe I was dreaming.

Love this!

Free agent forward Jeremy Sochan has agreed to a one-year deal to sign with the Portland Trail Blazers, agent Deirunas Visockas of Gersh Sports tells ESPN. Sochan -- who has averaged 9.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists entering his fifth NBA season -- finished 2025-26 on the championship

Fire head coach Alex Sarama spoke pregame tonight about the recent wave of attention on Sophie Cunningham and the rallies outside of Fever road games. (FWIW, I have no clue who the guy was that asked the last two questions. Never seen him before and he left immediately.)

The pro- Sophie Cunningham/anti trans protest outside the Moda Center. They are sad group claiming they are protesting for feminism. BUT where there's a fascist protest, there's a clear minded frog. #PortlandFire

Im starting to wonder if he's punishing us for the state being a part of the lawsuit against his predatory loans? He seems that petty.

Katie Sinback@ktsinback.bsky.social · 6d ago

He has shown Portland and the Blazers nothing but hostility and disdain. Obvious he wants to treat the city like the subprime loan victims he is used to fleecing.

Definitely, but this is purely extractive private equity stuff that could drive the value of franchises down if repeated. It's a really bad business situation overall. Since he bought the team he's been so cheap the team is worth less than it was a year ago.

The only upside of this Dundon fiasco, is having NBA fans across the country supporting us.

Let's make 'em uncomfortable, tomorrow (a not so wise man once said)!

Nik Streng@nikstreng.bsky.social · 6d ago

Fox News is reporting that a rally to support Sophie Cunningham is scheduled for outside the Moda Center tomorrow ahead of the Indiana Fever game at Portland.

Gutting. Once, is still one of my favorite movies.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · last wk.

Breaking News: Glen Hansard, the Irish musician who won an Oscar for the song “Falling Slowly” from the movie “Once,” has died at 56 in a motorcycle crash.

Using my Zip-it drain snake, is the most satisfying chore in the house. So gross, yet instant satisfaction.

Now hearing from sources that WW may have gotten this wrong. Sorry, if I got folks worked up unnecessarily.

This article also says Bruce Ely is no longer with the team. Hadn't heard that reported, but is a gut punch, too. www.wweek.com/sports/2026/...

Kevin Calabro Says He’s Leaving Blazers After Lowball Offer

“There was not much seriousness on the other end to get a deal done,” Calabro said, “which is fine if you want to end the relationship. Well, that’s one way to do it, I suppose.”

I'm glad Kevin Calabro and Travis Demers, know their worth. Incredibly sad, to lose such great talent.

Unsurprised, but hate this. KC & Lamar were a great duo!

Joe Freeman@freemanjoe.bsky.social · 2w ago

Kevin Calabro tells me has decided to step away from Blazers broadcasting and will no longer call games for Portland. The team and its veteran play-by-play man had been in discussions on a new contract, but he called the offers "subprime" and he has decided to move on.

We are in the huffing and puffing chests, part of lease negotiations. It's only going to get uglier. This is how this stuff works. Personally, I'm in the camp of not getting upset until there's reason to get upset. We aren't there yet.

The World Cup was such a nice reprieve from everything bad going on in the world. Sad, it's over. Congrats to Spain!

Haha. NBC wouldn't cover the President's live speech, but is "breaking news" and cutting into regular programming to do post-speech analysis.

There's been a LOT of talk about the Blazers recently (too much??) -- and not enough about Portland's trailblazing new WNBA team. Make time for this dive into one of the Fire's stars, Megan Gustafson:

see you again, kris murray 🙏

Suck it, VAR.

Team Bam, always and forever!

Welp.

Hope this isn't going to be the World Cup equivalent of Trump showing up to the Knicks game.

This Platner situation is even more embarrassing, seeing this one coming from miles away.
