Supportive Article on Paulson and Timbers

http://www.portlandtribune.com/news/story.php?story_id=120578462169321000

The Trib has a feature article on Paulson's ownership of the Timbers and Beavers, his assessment of the Portland sports scene, and the roles that these two teams play in the Portland community.

After reading this article, it seems Paulson is realistic about 2 things: 1) Portland's capacity to support a MLB or an MLS team; and 2) his grasp of the fundamentals of sports ownership- there needs to be stronger marketing and deeper community ties, especially through philanthropy.

Impressive feature article from Todd Murphy.

Can't wait for opening day.
