Sports is news because sports is money - tax revenue, economic development, and stadium politics effect us all. Who dribbles runs or swims best, is at best human interest.
Canzano's smart + funny + has asked rude questions, but he wants his cake and to eat it too. His choice moves him from the "journalist" column to join the "shill" column. Yes there are plenty of shills - no matter. But don't try to snow us - your peers. The rude questions are over. Score for Blazers and for Canzano.
I understand it's hard to refuse large amounts of money; Canzano probably has kids who probably want to go to the best schools. What's hard to understand is why Rowe and company said okay. It's the decision of the Oregonian to share Canzano which is wrong.
