Portland Soccer at a Crossroads for Timbers and Thorns Fans

29 days ago Portland Monthly

Portland soccer fans are tired and wounded. Instead, a few months later, a separate scandal took over the headlines for the Timbers, the once minor-league team Paulson bought in 2007 and which joined Major League Soccer in 2011. PTFC fans hold up "For Sale" signs during a Thorns match last season.

A Knee-Jerk Reaction to Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’

The old Taylor Swift is back. How many revenge anthems must we endure about esoteric music biz betrayals before we get a love song as jaw-dropping as "Peace"? Midnights, Swift's 10th proper album—announced two months ago and locked tight ever since, not a single note of music dropping before the full LP—hit streaming services last night, and it's tough to imagine the final product fulfilling anyone's expectations. As if to reinforce that characterization, Swift dropped a "special chaotic surprise" three hours after she released Midnights: a deluxe "3 a.m. In her own tightly controlled way, Midnights can feel like Swift's scrappy push against the perfectionist notion of album-as-product.

Bryson DeChambeau Slams 'Childish' PGA Tour Over Unpaid PIP Money

Bryson DeChambeau says a “childish” stand-off with the PGA Tour over unpaid Player Impact Program (PIP) money is the main reason he remains in the LIV Golf lawsuit against them. DeChambeau, though, says “it’s more the principle” of not being paid rather than just missing out on the money.

We’ve Always Claimed That Everything Is Bigger Here. It’s Time for Us to Prove It.

We have before us then two San Antonios: one, a San Antonio growing in prosperity and economic viability; the other, a San Antonio which has grown only in the intensity of its problems.”The Menger Hotel, in San Antonio, around 1980.
