Brandon Bye’s eyebrow disagreed with the premise. No, he doesn’t score often. But when Portland needed one against Seattle, Bye was a goal scorer — and offered a fitting example of the simplicity that has fueled the Timbers’ sudden turnaround. www.i-5corridor.com/p/jack-cassi...

Jack Cassidy made things simple — and got Portland winning again

Before handing the keys to Martí Cifuentes, Jack Cassidy guided Portland back into playoff position — sealed by an improbable derby winner from Brandon Bye.

Nice night for a Debry

He went to Japan, danced onstage at Zach Bryan’s concert and wound up on the cover of a video game. After a summer of side quests, Dante Moore is ready to get back to business. lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/ducks/...

A whirlwind summer behind him, it's time for Ducks star Dante Moore to stoke the ‘fire’

He went to Japan, danced on stage at Zach Bryan and wound up on the cover of a video game. Now, it's time for Dante Moore to get back to work.

Dante Moore at Big Ten Media Days

Takeaway from PJ Fleck’s speech: He’s running

I know we're all gearing up for Big Ten football season, but today I wrote a story on the rebuild of the Oregon men's basketball team. The TL/DR? Sean Stewart has some friends again. lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/sports...

The Duck who stayed: Sean Stewart believes — in his coach, this new team and UO's chances

Three months after Oregon’s men’s hoops roster emptied out, Sean Stewart has new teammates, a bigger voice and a chance to help reset the Ducks.

Marcus Mariota can't quit Eugene. "There’s something about being a 17-year-old trying to figure out what you want to do with your life. I can kind of harness that when I get back here and train. I tend to find the best version of myself." lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/sports...

Marcus Mariota was here. Again. So, why does he keep coming back?

Now a father and veteran backup, Mariota returns to Oregon each summer for a personal “fight camp” rooted in old habits and trusted relationships.

Saw a familiar face at the Oregon complex today throwing to a couple of dudes who work at Dicks Sporting Goods.

The Timbers need to sign that post

As I was saying

Kelsy just triangulating the position of the open net.

Kelsy just triangulating the position of the open net.

Kevin Kelsy just became one of the biggest turf monster victims I've seen.

Match has yet to start here at Providence Park and the crowd is already in the middle of a hearty "Fuck Moreno" chant. Welcome back, soccer -- and Santi.

It's finally official: The Portland Timbers have named Marti Cifuentes as their new manager. www.i-5corridor.com/p/portland-t...

The 44-year-old Spaniard brings an attacking, possession-based philosophy to Portland after coaching stops in England and Scandinavia.

Best sports tourney I’ve ever seen, FIFA be damned but it’s true

Please put the scoreless draw back on

Shakira walked for most of that performance, expected in her 15th World Cup, but still hits the notes when needed.

Messi's still got it.

Great profile of last night's brace scorer, Kevin Kelsy #RCTID

He was smuggled into his first team in the back of a truck in Venezuela. He saw drones explode in Ukraine. He's growing in soccer — but don't tell this 21-year-old he needs to mature. www.i-5corridor.com/p/kevin-kels...

This is an amazing story. #RCTID

Maybe it's comfort, not maturity, that Kevin Kelsy's been seeking all along. On the two goals against Seattle and the journey to get there. www.i-5corridor.com/p/kevin-kels...

It's a good day for those working on a Kevin Kelsy profile.

Things are going too well at HSJI

By the book, this is the best High School Journalism Institute ever. But nothing is the same.

Today for Lookout: I wrote about the World Cup and how, with so many differences, us sports fans really aren't that different from one another. Hope still leads to heartbreak, all around the globe. lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/ducks/...

The World Cup showed me sports fans are the same everywhere

The players were different, the songs were different and the sport was different. The hope, heartbreak and belief? Those felt just like home.

The Portland Timbers only allowed two goal contributions from the guy who just played the best 5 minute stretch of this Cup.
