FYI…The new mascot is Timber Joey. He’s good people, too.

Dave, yes, Timber Jim is the Timbers mascot. (The original retired last year. Not sure if the replacement is known as “Timber Jim” or “Timber Whatever-the-hell-his-real-name-is.) But they do still have a lumberjack scaring the pants off small children, with a working chainsaw and a deep hatred of Seattle.

Arent they the ones with the lumberjack mascot? Even more reason . . .

We at MLS Rumors endorse the Portland bid. It makes the most sense and has the least amount of risk in the current economic climate. A historic rivalry with the Sounders, a historic stadium in a downtown location next to mass transit, an engaged and passionate fan base. Basically Portland would be like Toronto and Seattle, they’d sell out ever game.

Build a stadium, or find a Microsoft founder, TV star, or other influential people, and Donny will come.
