I'm pretty sure Spencer would spot in starting lineup for Lionel Messi

I think Chara and Messi would work together in the midfield pretty darn well.

Today on twitter he says the new jerseys won't be like the Seattle's new third kit

and that “U won’t see us in rave/neon/etc on my watch”

Cool to have an owner so active on twitter. He’s really good at it too. Drops some nuggets, takes some jabs but always with an underlying respect, and really active and gracious with Timbers fans.

I'm so glad that the names mentioned so far

Once again from the man's twitter:

“expansion lists released Mon. For us its irrelevant. Make of that what u will”

I make of it that while fake Jake Gleeson may tear it up for the fake Impact, real Jake Gleeson will still be a Timber.

I thought the same thing today about the convo on Marritt's use of twitter

who does not love it how he teases friends and foes alike? I for one sure effin’ do. Honestly, I could not be happier with our FO both in terms of the kind of team we are putting together on the field and they way the operate off the field. Really does PDX proud.

The other pro team could use a refresher

OF course they don’t have anything to do right now with the lock-out going on and all…. Weird that I feel like I have a lot more free time without the blazers being on….
