John Canzano had his list, but he’s just one guy. No offense to Mr. Canzano but lists always mean a lot more when they reflect the opinions of more than just a single person with an opinion – especially a sportswriter. Not to take anything away from sportswriting, not in the least, but sometimes it’s the fans themselves who know best.
So, with that in mind, last Monday we asked you – our listeners and/or readers – to send us your picks for the Most Influential People in Oregon Sports.
Here’s what we got…
#5 – Sam Adams and Randy Leonard (199 votes)
We put these two together for obvious reasons but most of you did too.
#4 – Phil Knight (276 votes)
Canzano’s pick for #1 is your pick for #4.
#3 – Brandon Roy (316 votes)
The Blazers without Brandon Roy at this point would be like Sassy’s without Malice.
#2 – Merritt Paulson (365 votes)
Three letters… M, L, and S.
#1 – The Timbers Army (710 votes)
The biggest, baddest, loudest, and proudest bunch of mutherfuckers I’ve ever had the pleasure of sharing beer and soccer with.

Hah! I totally forgot to send in my list, but this is pretty much exactly how mine was numbered, too.
RCTID!
