Our very own Drake was in Portland last night to work the WNBA game between Houston and Portland. The Fire won, mostly because virtually only two players on Houston took almost all their shots. They accounted for 44 of the teams 60 points, and Portland won by 10.
Anyway, I was unable to attend due to a prior commitment. Drake had asked me to tape it for him if it was on TV, and it was, but I couldn't tape it. Here's why:
The Fire, like the Blazers and Seahawks, are owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Allen has started his own cable sports channel called ASCN. He has not been able to work out an arrangement with the main cable company in the Portland metro area, AT&T Broadband, so his channel is only carried on a few small outlying cable feeds.
Sorry, Drake. I would have liked to have seen you work, even if it was only on tape. I'm sure you did your usual outstanding job.
