The Fight in Channing Frye
by Casey Holdahl
Sitting backwards on a chair in a stuffy gym, Channing Frye makes a telling declaration.

What I like, Channing, is that it seems you’ve been in Portland nearly all summer. You appear to me to be a very dedicated and loyal man.

Best of luck this season!

I may never know the answer to this question…. who knows?!?!

dude, i’ve been a long time blazer fan. my whole life, born and raised here. and i can say that your dedication to the team is appreciated by us fans. your work ethic, your candor (we’re ALL tired of “athlete speak!”), the way you’ve embraced our city and community, it’s awesome. as a basketball player you are someone I can be proud of, as an articulate person, and as an interactive member of our community you are someone i hope to cross paths with at some point.
as a player on a team that we identify with and call our own, you sir, are a standout. keep on keepin’ on.

I just found out about your blog. Was looking forward to it but the white writing on black just kills my eyes. Hope you change it.
