I love your article and I installed your hack. Thank you very much for this. I did notice that you have if statements and only if statements. The hack whould not install properly in my header until I added a if statement. Then, all was very cool. I am installing this on every messageboard I control which is a sizable number. Again, thank you.

They have to advertise because over the last 3 years their ticket sales and diminished a bunch. They used to sell out every game now they average about 75% attendance. They have bad public image so they make commercials of the dudes hanging out iwth regular Portlanders to make them look nice.

Why does a(n) (in)famous basketball team need to advertise in the first place?
…Anyone?

wow, that was totally worth the excruciatingly slow dial-up buffering speeds for that hot dog surprise at the end.

If people who paid to make commercials were smart they’d make them downloadable. I’d download all those Blazers ads, and they are paying big money to show them to me, and I want to watch them for free!

I must confess I am responsible for the music in the blazer ads. BLAZERS! in addition to the bands listed above, nomadic noize and libretto are also featured. Portland has so so many great bands. I want them to paid for their hard work. Last year I also convinced nike to pay pj harvey a lot of ducats for a song in a marion jones commercial, though I don’t know if they ever ran it. props to you + connie wohnstein helping with the kegstands. with the book now everyone will even more think eli and I are married (brother and sister people, not gf/bf, NOT MARRIED…no wonder I get no play) hope you are over your sickness.
