Even at 21, it was all easy for Tiger Woods at Masters
The Masters Tournament is always a special attraction, but when it unfolds this week at Georgia's famed Augusta National Golf Club, there will be a significant sidelight.
On Kevin Calabro and Jordan Kent, the sports broadcasting scene in Portland, Ime Udoka, James Allen, the Cambia Portland Classic and much more …
Knocking it around on a potpourri of sports topics …
• Kevin Calabro’s return to the broadcasting booth with the Trail Blazers is not a done deal.
The Blazers, who let Jordan Kent go last week as their TV play-by-play announcer, have extended an offer in principle to Calabro, who served as their TV play-by-play man from 2016-20 but gave up his job during the COVID-19-interrupted 2020 campaign.

A few football thoughts, along with a closing note about golf …
• The lineup of Pac-12 bowl affiliates has been slimmed considerably with the shut-down of the Sun, Holiday, Redbox and Las Vegas Bowls for this year due to COVID-19 complications.
That leaves the Rose Bowl — a CFP semifinal game this year, meaning that the Pac-12 will almost certainly not be a participant — the Alamo Bowl, the L.A. Bowl and the Independence Bowl. The Pac-12 requires a team to be .500 or better to be bowl eligible, so if a team is able to get in its scheduled seven games, it must go 4-3.
The conference has yet to announce a plan for the final weekend of regular-season play (Dec. 18-19).

Seth Reeves’ swing sings as he preps for Winco Foods Portland Open
When tournament director Jeff Sanders and Ryan Fowler, his director of marketing/communications, invited me to play in Tuesday’s pro-am for the Winco Foods Portland Open at Pumpkin Ridge, I was excited.
When I learned the name of the pro who would play with our amateur team, I got amped up even more.

Even though no spectators will be allowed Portland is the only tournament staging a pro-am which is almost full at 100 foursomes
