Readers, it was not a "misprint," as the headline suggests. A misprint would be an error by whomever sent the art to the printer. As the story indicates, it was a collation & bindery error on the part of the printer. It's not a county error, unless the county runs the print shop.

Just noticed a onetime colleague using the expression "TDS" (unironically, of course). This expression is ever more repulsive to me. Trump is now in open partnership with Putin, a blood-soaked monster of our time. If you object to this, you do not suffer from "TDS." You are simply a decent human being and patriot.

It seems the Oregon School Activities Association is leaping through some large hoops to make the 6A volleyball and soccer playoffs sound like the other classifications. Spoiler alert: they’re not close.

At least in football, they’re more honest about it: we’re taking 60 percent of the teams and splitting them into two brackets. I think the two divisions are silly, but it’s more an indictment about the fact that certain programs dominate year in and year out.

To be consistent with other levels — and to make the playoffs actually meaningful — every 6A playoff bracket should have 20 teams. Not 24. And certainly not 32.

. @wweek: "By nearly every measure, the performance of our state doesn’t match what taxpayers spend on it. Not in education. Not in housing. And certainly not on the streets." Also @wweek: we suggest reelecting almost every incumbent. What's the definition of insanity?

Hey @espn, how is it we went from watching Kansas/Utah to abruptly switching to a repeat of break dancing?! WTH.

One more reason to despise @Intuit : their ads in various iPhone apps make it almost impossible to touch the X to end the ad and return to the game. You inevitably get rerouted to the App Store, often multiple times. #intuitsucks

Ninety percent in a playoff game, from an umpire who presumably got the gig for being better than average during the regular season? What a perfect argument for never using human umpires to call balls & strikes again.

Victor Wembanyama was asked if he would ever sign a deal with a sports betting company: “Absolutely not. Honestly, I think it’s very sad to see some players promote it.”

The best umpires from the regular season get to call playoff games, but Adam Beck missed almost 1 of every 10 pitch calls in last night’s wild card game. Seven of his calls were overturned on challenges. It’s past time to implement ABS for all pitches. #mlb #umpires

My college dorm was worse than some of these.

But it's thriving on the back of legalized gambling, which can only take it one direction — into the sewer.

Can you say "Freedom of Information Act request," boys & girls?
Q: On the beef deal, which countries did you make the deal with? Trump: I don’t want to say.

Of course she is.
The news comes nearly four months after she left the high-level position amid a series of misconduct allegations.

“Green’s hesitation to support the planned Moda Center renovation and the Bull Run water filtration project ‘undermine union members’ livelihoods.’ ” But they allow the non-union majority to have livelihoods without the crushing tax burden those projects would require.
