Check out this video for the Timbers (Portland’s new MLS team) and their sponsor, Alaska Airlines. The Scottish dude giving the demo is Timbers coach John Spencer.

In this one Timber Joey (who cuts rounds from a log after every Timbers goal) makes luggage fit.

And here’s a bunch of impassioned Timbers fans singing the National Anthem in pouring rain at the Timbers’ home opener against Chicago in April (Portland won 4-2). Pretty moving.

They’re huge in Portland and have a strong following elsewhere in the state, including here in Bend. Look for a story on the Timbers in our next issue.
