Jayne: It’s difficult to understand Joe Paterno’s legacy
Greg Jayne: Commentary
After days and weeks and months of seemingly endless conjecture and I-don’t-have-time-to-really-think-about-it opinions, let’s take a deep breath and listen for a moment to Curt Warner.
Cody enjoying the crazy ride

A kid from a tiny semi-rural community on the outskirts of Vancouver ends up starting in the Rose Bowl? Crazy indeed.
Commentary: The fine art of winning?
Greg Jayne: Commentary
We eat up the Tim Tebow story as if we've been wandering in the desert, and we search for a way to define the thin line between winning and losing.
Greg Jayne: A wonderful ride for Roy, Blazers
Commentary: Greg Jayne
What we really need is Frank Capra to direct this movie. To turn it into a local version of “It’s a Wonderful Life” and remind us of what the Blazers’ world would be like without Brandon Dawayne Roy.

Greg Jayne: Paterno is out, but tragedy lingers
Commentary: Greg Jayne
Joe Paterno is out at Penn State, told by the board of trustees that, “you can’t quit, you’re fired.” So is the university president. So is the athletic director. So is a university vice president. Throw in the dismissal of an iconic football coach, and the extraordinary reach of the sex-abuse scandal at Penn State becomes clear.
Greg Jayne: Penn State allegations stun Warner
Commentary: Greg Jayne
The reports were shocking, the details grotesque — even with a buffer of time and distance. For those of us in the Pacific Northwest, thousands of miles and years removed from the allegations of child molestation surrounding the Penn State football program, the reports have been enough to make your skin crawl.
Saturday was about Huskies finding their place
Commentary: Greg Jayne
Washington has come far. Very far. And yet the Huskies are not quite ready for prime time.
