All this goes in the memoirs and the memoirs go into the time capsule....when I'm dust, they'll sort it all out...somewhere in that capsule will be an autographed 2015-16 autographed ball with the original Tim Frazier bench warmer autograph...and a complete Blazers dancer calendar autographed from the same season who kept my son from seeing us beat the Jazz in really good seats...he liked the ladies...I'm dangling the calendar as trade bait...he can keep the barbeque as long as he keeps me in bass, trout and salmon....it's a complicated relationship ...cue...Father and Son by Cat Stevens...
I've got a huge pile of fruit wood limbs and a couple of Hibachi's so I've gone old school...sea salt grilled trout wrapped in foil, stuffed with scallions and mushrooms on some plum wood coals....for the salmon I grill them on a cedar block smothered in lemons and teriyaki sauce
I thought it was going to be more of a collaborative effort. They guy who encouraged me to join and write and was all hyped about it ended up doing only a couple of articles. I enjoyed contributing but didn't want to have such a large percentage of the articles or I'd just do my own website. Swamped this summer with travel, work and and article you may see where I make the cover of a national financial magazine. If that happens, (around November it looks like) I'll post the link here so you can all make fun. Will get back to writing closer to training camp. Right now, how many times can you read about the team trip to San Diego?
...it's true, I always said the site will go as far as @Natebishop3 wants to take it. But life happens and tends to get in the way of grandiose ideas. Luckily the url/domain is not going to disappear anytime soon so it won't take much to revive it. What season was the "Rip City Revival" motto from?
I cant find a damn radio station to talk anything Blazers, I wouldn't expect writers to have anything to discuss either unless they are gossipy, drama starting wannabe journalists like Crapzano. I think most people here are above that shit and so the lack of quality content to write about has spawn a hybernation time. Which is fine.. I suppose....I wish Basketball was year round...I soooo cant stand baseball anymore.
A huge "like" for the Father and Son song reference. The soundtrack to my adolescence.......though my relationship with BG isn't complicated in any way, shape or form. I let him use or have most whatever is mine and he keeps me in Giants tickets and me and my friends in fine German wines. It doesn't get much more uncomplicated than that.......
yeah....I really don't have complicated stuff as a parent either...I'm lucky too in that way...that song was a real favorite of mine
Season Preview: 1 article per player. Projected standings. Who's going to make an offer to Plums? There's always something to write about.
...it's true, in an open thread requesting 'ideas' would take this forum no time to come up with 365+ topics for potential article writing. The real skill and time consumer is the actual writing of the article. Content is king!
Mods, you may want to change the thread title to: What's up with Blazersland When I typed blazerland.com into my web browser, I was offered the chance to by the domain name. BNM
anybody can cut and paste AP, Blazers.com or NBA.com articles and fill a page with comments....Folks used to do that around here quite a bit more but OT has more of that feed than the basketball forum. Should pick up this month around here. The best S2 writers are not posting much like brianfromwashington, kjironman...good to see BNM posting more recently. I think BlazerEdge's connection with Yahoo's homepage is giving them a lot of traffic, thus, a demand for fresh content. Sly does a good job with threads and info in my view
...the site is back up and running in case anyone want's to get the summer writing going again --> https://www.blazersland.com/ <-- just in time for Summer League!
