Hey Tyson,

I really appreciate the articles you produce. Especially now that you’re unencumbered from the constraints of corporate overlording. T

I subscribed because of your coverage of the Ducks, and because you’re from Alaska and the same area where I lived for many years. I wanted to see you succeed here, so you got my subscription dollars. You do an awesome job!

Congrats Tyson, always love reading your work; very down to earth, relatable and self deprecating. Pitch perfect. It seems like the folks you interview really enjoy interacting with you as well. Keep up the good work!

You should cover more local hockey and single club golf tournaments but otherwise well done.

We're looking into controversy swirling around the closest to the pin at the RCSBOCI.

I have enjoyed your writing journey from The Oregonian through The Athletic into The I-5 Corridor. I enjoy the variety of your articles & I appreciate your cross-collaboration with Christian Caple (as I am in the rare group of people who attended & follow both UO & UW).

As someone who has been in sales for decades, I know that good sales people must & do "ask for the order". It shows self-confidence for you to ask your readers to buy subscriptions to help support your writing efforts & your family. It also doesn't hurt to ask people to donate gift subscriptions for family, friends or those who can't afford it. Canzano is a master of this and I encourage you to keep asking for the order.

Self-doubt creeps into all of our minds. But know that you are worth paying for. Keep up your belief in yourself & the associated good work.

P.S. Love the selfie, but where's the I-5 Corridor hat?

Loving your writing from Montana! Would love to hear Wayne Tinkle’s thoughts on all this re-alignment BS.

Glad you're still here, Tyson. Independent journalism is THE ONLY journalism, IMO. The rest is just glossy, agenda-driven noise. I subscribe first and foremost because I enjoy your writing, which is primarily about sports but not exclusively. Keep it coming, brother.
