Ainge Ready To Resume Rudy Talks?

Rudy Fernandez wants out of Portland, and he may soon get his wish.

According to Julian Benbow of the Boston Globe, the Boston Celtics still have a void to fill in their backcourt and the Celtics could be regaining interest in the disgruntled Blazers shooting guard - a "Rudy-to-Boston" scenerio which has been debated around Portland for some time now.

Boston lost Tony Allen in free-agency to Memphis for 3-years and $9.5 million. Rudy's $1.25 million salary is appealing and the Celtics also like his ability to play outside with both Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal roaming the middle. Boston, Chicago, and New York have been in the mix for Fernandez over the past few months, but now it appears the Celtics are still interested in talking business with the Blazers for Rudy.

Eric King will have more on this story in Thursday's edition of Around Oregon Sports.

Around Oregon Sports: Bad News For Beavers, Calling All-Americans, And Should McMillan Really Worry?

Written by Travis Margoni
Tuesday, 24 August 2010 14:48
No news is good news, generally speaking, when it comes to college football in August. Unfortunately for the Oregon State Beavers, offensive lineman Tyler Thomas made news this weekend. Again. This time, the redshirt freshman was Tasered and arrested early Sunday on charges of first-degree criminal trespass, second-degree criminal mischief, and resisting arrest after a 32-year-old woman reported there was a naked man in her residence. This is Thomas' second alcohol-related incident as a Beaver. OSU coach Mike Riley has cut Thomas from the team; it remains to be seen whether or not Thomas' younger brother, Connor, will continue with his commitment to play for the Beavers next year.

Long before Rip Hamilton made the protective face mask a part of his NBA attire, an original “Bad Boy” Bill Laimbeer used his to intimidate.

That's one way to look at it.

Around Oregon Sports: Moving Rudy, Dixon Close To Starting For Steelers, And Who Is The Best Running Back In Oregon?

It's all about who gets to start.

Last week Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Dennis Dixon has a chance to start this season at quarterback, and on Saturday night Dixon – the former Oregon Duck now in his third year – showed why that is the case.

Dixon (7-8, 82 yards and 27 rushing yards), along with fellow back-up Byron Leftwich, combined to lead three long touchdown drives after Ben Roethlisberger made his NFL preseason debut as Pittsburgh beat the New York Giants 24-17. Roethlisberger still must serve a 4-6 game suspension to begin the regular season, leaving Leftwich and Dixon starting candidates. The Steelers will open with a home game against the Atlanta Falcons on September 12th.

But will Dixon start under center though?
