Greg Jayne: College athletes get schooled in finance

Greg Jayne: Commentary

When the issue of paying college athletes showed up in the news again last week, I gave Josh Tschirgi a call.

Greg Jayne: Fine is Stern's abuse of force

Greg Jayne: Papermakers' dreams will get bigger

Greg Jayne: Commentary

So while Camas lost 51-28 to Skyline of Sammamish on Saturday in the Class 4A football playoffs at the Tacoma Dome, it was only reasonable to ask about next season.

Greg Jayne: The king is dead? Not yet

Greg Jayne: Season-opening victory gives Blazers some hope

It is tempting, yet perilous, to read too much into the first game of an interminable NBA season. There are, after all, only 81 more to go.

Greg Jayne: Commentary

It seems, sometimes, as though high school is the new college.

Greg Jayne: Arena deal is overdue good news for Seattle

Commentary: Greg Jayne

Greg Jayne: As far as your TV goes, it's Vancouver, Ore.

It's like an alternate universe. You wake up in the morning in Vancouver, safely across the river from Portland, and flip on the TV hoping to watch the newly minted Pac-12 Networks. You expect to see the Washington version of the Pac-12 Networks, aware that the conference's effort to take over the world consists of seven -- yes, seven! -- different channels. And instead, you are reminded that Comcast thinks Clark County is in Oregon.
