Indeed it is. This “Jolly Rancher green” 1996 Impala is a really something–although it sort of looks like the Incredible Hulk threw it up–and while I’m a little confused on why the gentle, if not downright goofy, Outlaw went with the whole airbrushed evil skull shooting the playing cards motif, I’m just jealous that this […]

Hi Folks, it’s me, your trusty PTFC blogger here on Blogtown. You haven’t heard much from me since the last home game, because, well, the Timbers finished the season at the bottom of the table and missed the playoffs for the second time in three years. It was a season many of us would prefer […]

Live from the Rose Garden–where for some reason every preseason game feels like the playoffs–as the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Golden State Warriors. After last night’s clowning of a hapless Kings team, the Blazers are UNDEFEATED in the meaningless preseason (1-0), and this unbiased reporter feels confident in going on the record and […]

Live from the Rose Garden as it’s the most unimportant important NBA game in recent memory–the Portland Trail Blazers versus the Sacramento Kings. Granted, pre-season basketball is not as essential as the Presidential debates, or a rerun of According to Jim (on in 30 minutes on KPDX! Synopsis: It’s Cheryl and Jim’s anniversary, and one […]

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 […]

Then they completely shit the bed, losing to Montreal and Rochester after the stunning 4-0 defeat of Miami FC. Still, […]

Who cares about the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bail out? Rasheed Wallace does. Or maybe he doesn’t. But the former Blazers star is cutting the price of his Portland residence (if you were traded to Detroit, you’d still want to live here too) from $5.2 to $4.9 million. What a deal! But that’s still […]

(Photo Credit: Allison Andrews/Soccercity USA) I was worried all week. I worried that Sarah Palin might actually string two sentences together without sounding like a right-wing zealot; I was worried John McCain might kill at the RNC. I was worried that Think Out Loud might be canceled; I was worried that I would start my […]

Hello Blogtown readers! I’m Mark, and through the power of hypnosis and positive visualization, I’ve convinced the Mercury staff to let me be the voice of the Portland Timbers on Blogtown. I’ll get around to introducing myself later, but there is news afoot! NEWS! GASP! Merritt Paulson, owner of the Portland Timbers Football Club and […]
