Wednesday was the deadline for submitting formal bids to Major League Soccer for the next round of expansion, in 2011. Rumors have been flying across the interwebs about who would be in the running; we now know who Merritt Paulson and company are up against. It’s a daunting list. The announcement came on the official […]

Live from the Rose Garden as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Utah Jazz in completely meaningless pre-season basketball. But good news, kids, this is the final (home) pre-season contest for Portland, and this afternoon’s game will be the Blazers’ first look at their division rival, the swinging’ Jazz cats from Utah. The shape […]

Rudy Fernandez–the chiseled-jawed future of the Blazers (like Greg Oden, en espanol)–got introduced to the giddy Portland media this afternoon. Fresh off the plane, where a large crowd greeted him at PDX, and with his mom in the front row, Fernandez was a little shell-shocked at first, but opened up a bit as the media […]

Coming in to last night’s game, the Timbers had managed to screw their chances at the playoffs. The Timbers held their fate in their own hands 4 games ago, needing 10 points from five games.
