@CHold @trailblazers The stuff you've done and seen! Great run, Casey, wishing you all the best.

When NCAA tourney is in town, I always get flashbacks to 2012, when it was here and Blazers had one of those blow-up-the-season days, firing Nate McMillan, trading Marcus Camby and Gerald Wallace. Team had to do media stuff in offices because NCAA took over whole arena. Wild day!

@BenGolliver @washingtonpost @PostSports Best wishes, Ben.

[Mike Tokito @mtokito]

@CandaceDBuckner Not shocked, but also very shocked. You had a great run, Candace. Happy trails, buddy!

🚨 THEY JUST ADMITTED IT: "NO AUTOPSY" 🚨

LISTEN CLOSELY to the dispatch audio:

“He did not go in for an autopsy. The death certificate was signed by the doctor at the hospital.”

No autopsy. Signed off inside the hospital.
A political assassination. A homicide. An active investigation.

Charlie Kirk's body was evidence. Especially in a case this questionable.

What don’t they want the public to know??

@NickKrupke @TheGolfFarm @fox12oregon Hearing Brian and Amy really takes me back to my sportswriting days. Good people. Nice story, Nick!

This thing with Ichiro being one vote shy of unanimous HOF reminds me of when a Toronto broadcaster was the lone voter who kept Brandon Roy from being unanimous Rookie of the Year. At least that voter came forward

@Lindsay_Schnell @TheAthletic That's awesome, congrats! Will get to read your stuff regularly again.

[Mike Tokito @mtokito]

You know, it would nice if the news about the Blazers' next TV home is broken by a local reporter instead those two national dudes.

I think after France beat Fiji in the Rugby 7s gold medal game, you can pretty much cancel the rest of the Olympics. It's not going to get better than that!

@tysonalger This is a really fun story. Thorns are honestly the most interesting thing happening in Portland sports right now.

@CHold @IanKarmel If I ever need to summarize my final three or so years as a full-time sportswriter, I'm just gonna copy and paste this.

[Mike Tokito @mtokito]

@SteveMimsPBC Sigh ...

[Mike Tokito @mtokito]

@CHold Good times! What a fun era that was.

[Mike Tokito @mtokito]

@travisdemers @trailblazers Here's hoping you're still working for a bunch more weeks this time next year.

[Mike Tokito @mtokito]

@tysonalger I know you posted this for other reasons, but this serves as a commentary on how barren local media is. In 1994, I ACTUALLY COVERED THIS TEAM all summer for what was then the local Portland newspaper.

[Mike Tokito @mtokito]

@blazers_palace This is an awesome thread. A few other names: Brandon Brooks, Luke Jackson, Brian Jackson, Michael Dunleavy Jr.

[Mike Tokito @mtokito]

@AndrewGreif This crap never ends, does it? So sorry, Andrew. You're way too good to not land somewhere that deserves you.

[Mike Tokito @mtokito]

Fubo sent an email saying it is raising its basic monthly rate by $5 and regional sports fee by $1. There's only one reason anyone around here gets Fubo, and that reason isn't playing well right now. Maybe consider waiting until May to raise your rates, Fubo?

@tysonalger This would just be a TV production meeting now.
