    Maybe Paul Allen will fly in the whole family to watch a game. Reporter Pat Dooris sure gave short shrift to the father. I guess men's feelings don't matter.

    Not only would he love my street talk, he'd trade Gary Trent and Mirsad Turkcan for me.

    I'm surprised that it took him this long to send away for his birth certificate. His adopted parents died 10 years ago, so it's not like he was avoiding hurting their feelings.

    I think it probably had more to do with his struggle to lose weight. Dude's a shadow of his former self physically, but his levels of both confidence and comfort in himself has grown astronomically over the last couple of years.

    Wheels has a very successful career going. His new family must be very surprised to discover a relation who is famous across Oregon, and more popular than any statewide politician could ever be.
