Introducing All of Portland’s Sports Teams
Portland has more major league, minor league, semi-pro and college teams than you know about. I promise. I don’t mean to sound like some hipster announcing a band that “you’ve probably never heard of,” but it’s fair to assume that you’re about to see some team that’s new to your world. In fact, unless you’re […]

NBA and Portland Trail Blazers Midseason Awards
Basketball media members love giving out midseason awards. I have always felt like they are similar to midterm report cards in school; they can either make your day or ruin your mood but at the end of the day, they don’t mean much. With the start the Portland Trail Blazers have had this season, a […]
Oregon Ducks Basketball Team is Flying Foul
Oregon Ducks men’s basketball continues to struggle after losing their fourth game in a row. It is hard to remember that just a few short weeks ago the Ducks were 13-0 and #10 in the country. Some—well, I did—even said they would win the Pac-12. That is still a possibility simply because they have not […]
Trail Blazers Sailing High but Trade Deadline Looks Grim
Not even the most devoted Portland Trail Blazers fanatics could have foreseen what this season has wrought in the Rose City. Damian Lillard continues to improve as a scorer, Nicolas Batum and Wesley Matthews are playing up to their potential, the bench moves by GM Neil Olshey have all worked out well, and LaMarcus Aldridge […]
Winterhawks Sign Defenseman Nick Heid
The Portland Winterhawks have signed 16-year-old defenseman Nick Heid. Heid is playing this season for the Omaha Lancers AAA 16U team of the North American Prospects Hockey League, where he has five goals and 22 assists for 27 points in 20 games, first among the league’s defensemen.

Vancouver’s Cain Franson opened the scoring 7:15 into the game to give the visitors a 1-0 lead, but the […]
Weekend Recap: Monday Morning Links
For the second time in franchise history the Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl. The Hawks defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship 20-17. Marshawn Lynch and his 100-yard game, along with the defense that caused 3 San Francisco turnovers in the 4th quarter, pushed the team to New York for Super […]
Friday Five: Reasons to Root for the Seahawks
It’s OK to hate the Seattle Sounders. And sure, when the Emerald City gets an NBA team again, you can hate them also. But with no hometown NFL team to call your own, it’s your Northwest duty to root for the Seahawks. Look, we’re not asking you to like Century Link Field. After all, the […]
LaMarcus Aldridge is a Legit MVP Candidate
You could visit any number of NBA arenas across the country, and given the night, the fans of their home team will inevitably start chanting “MVP! MVP!” for their star player, regardless of said players actual season standing. This practice among fans has become commonplace since Kobe Bryant received MVP chants at Madison Square Garden […]
