    When you sell the movie right to your book can you make sure I have a part in the movie?

    Kerry, serious question here........ was it tough to move out of the male modeling industry to become a writer/reporter?

    The only part for a dog in that movie is in Z-Bo and Qyntel's dog fighting ring.

    Maybe they can write in a part where one the players dogs finds Kemps's coke, instead of a player

    HCP's in here acting like he's friends with Mr Eggers and he probably doesn't even know who you are.

    Kerry, HCP is John Lukrofka from Blazer Broadcasting. Make sure you tell Jeff Curtain that he was harassing you.

    You're my favorite sports writer in town. Hands down.

    Ever thought of taking a more exclusive role covering the Blazers?

    Of course. That's why my next book will be entitled, "Fear and Loathing in Rip City."
    Thanks to all for participating. Lots of good questions and enjoyable.
    Hope you will be able to find a book, and if you try and they don't have it, tell them to get the damn thing on order!

    We'll be starting podcasts through the Portland Tribune website next month, which I'll be handling. Probably one a week, and some of them will be on the Blazers.
    Our Tribune staff is small, though, and I'll never be able to focus exclusively on them.
    But thanks for the compliment.

    No more books until after I retire in 2020. I'm hoping to do a "best-of" compilation of 45 years of sports writing in Portland at some point, with updates on what happened with the subject(s) after the story was written.
    Thanks to all.

    Kerry, I have an autographed copy of your book to give away to a lucky fan, do you have a favorite question or person you'd like to see it go to?
