Tar Heel born. I host Locked On Blazers, a daily podcast about the Portland Trail Blazers
Boise State is putting out the True Haters bat signal and, reader, I am ready to heed the call.
Running back a slow motion replay of Emily Engstler yelling the F word on this fine Sunday afternoon just as the Fire settle into getting boat raced. Thank you KPTV and Em for the collab.
There are more important and introspective parts of this @bullseye.maximumfun.org interview but Isaiah Rashad being really into Chopped and Screwed Outkast records really makes his whole sound make a lot sense youtu.be/5O12vfIVOQc?...

A full morning of exposure to the culture war poisoning that roots for sports owners to be Maximum Efficient could spell the end for one local podcaster.
'exits' begins! for the 6th year running, an nba playoff series that looks back on the seasons that weren't for each team as they're eliminated for the blazers, @mikegrich.bsky.social writes about what happens when a billionaire cheapskate treats a team like a bottom line
Exits: A light hostage situation
The Trail Blazers were back in the playoffs after seven seasons, but what does having a new owner who treats the team like a bottom line mean for Portland's way forward?

One time I told my friend (adjacent the music scene in LA) that Justin Bieber always had the sharpest production and that I wished my favorite rappers could emulate those crisp drums. He told me his pal was essentially attending Biebs Production College to learn to make a the perfect hi-hat clap.
(Because I am procrastinating doing a thing I need to do and it’s 10pm on a Thursday here’s a thing I really like) I think about this @bullseye.maximumfun.org with @jessethorn.bsky.social episode with Mavi as much as any podcast episode/interview I have ever listened to: youtu.be/DJZGNJ7HmTE?...

Premium Portland experience: Asking the bartender in an empty bar to turn down The Shins and turn up the sound on the TV playing sports and they politely decline.
Bam Adebayo is definitive proof that the best basketball players in the world do and always have come from Eastern North Carolina. Kick rocks Southern California, Chicagoland and the Balkans.
If you are the young person wearing the red Trail Blazers Gary Payton II in the third row at Moda tonight … come on Locked On Blazers to unpack your trauma
I wrote about ghost hunting and Damian Lillard. I don't write anymore (because I only get paid to yap) so, I guess, read this and I might do it again(?) medium.com/@michaelgric...
Ghost Hunting
During the spring of my senior year of high school, our history class went ghost hunting in Harper’s Ferry, VA, a historic Civil War town…

Caleb Love has been incredible and the Moda Center is making sure fans appreciate it with ummm whatever this is.
How could the Blazers do *this* to *me*, a podcaster in need of 30 minutes of content
Glad y’all are getting a few games of the raw and uncut Caleb Love experience. It is extremely dangerous in every direction.
Blazers cursed by these unforgivable overhead camera angles? Could be!

I got a haircut and recorded an episode of Locked On Blazers this morning. If you're interested in the latter, it is in your audio feeds and on YouTube right now.

Nobody writes like Katie. Nobody writes about Summer League like Katie. Students are so lucky to learn how to approach the craft from someone so uniquely talented. "Don’t bury it, don’t write from down here ... We have enough of that for lifetimes. Go up."

After some consideration: Hansen Yang appears to be the Hasheem Thabeet of Marc Gasols
lol the partially recorded podcast graveyard claims another file
(I never do this and I don’t have any followers so someone with reach please RT) Send me your Blazers draft dreams. Either a player they pick at 11, or something else that is mildly plausible for draft night. I will use the ones I like on the podcast* *unless I do not follow through on this idea.
