Right now the Cleveland Cavaliers are in Portland for Sunday night basketball game. I don't know anything about this game. But I know that Portland Fire head coach Alex Sarama is here (he's still an assistant for the Cavs).

In the final stretch of the 2025 football season, there wasn't anyone in Oregon more terrifying with the ball in their hands than Cole Thomas. He kept the Rams alive in SO MANY games #opreps www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2026/0...

This is going to be a fixture in many Japanese households 😂

Fun to see Linda Weston reflect on the early days of professional women's basketball in Portland, and her take on the Fire's launch. “The more you can build community, the better." via @nikstreng.bsky.social

I talked with Linda Weston this week about her experience as the GM for the Portland Power and what she thinks of the Fire's return in 2026 www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

People who know, know. I watched Kennedie Shuler when she was at Barlow HS and the girl is as competitive as anyone I've ever seen

I had the chance to talk with Power and Fire alumna Sylvia Crawley this week. We talked about building a new team culture in Portland... and no one knows as much about this as she does! www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

It’s insane that the NFL decided that it needed the Super Bowl teams to wear this “USA 250” patch and it’s interfered with jersey elements for both teams. Looks awful

Some local businesses are closing to honor the protest and others have taken to social media to acknowledge the protest, but let their customers know they will be open, with several pledging to donate to the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition. www.oregonlive.com/trending/202...

Indiscriminate force ‘pervasive’ at Portland ICE protests, says former Border Protection leader @oregonian.com www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...

When she was told that the Fire was coming back this year, Jackie Stiles said she finally felt at peace with a pro career that felt like it was cut short www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

Gonna learn what it transforms into 😎

The Portland Fire have hung a giant Fire jersey on the Willamette River

People who know me know I love jersey fashion, so FWIW: The Portland Fire red and white jerseys are a little boring but they are clean. I like the sleeve border & wish it was also on the neck. I like that even the green Chime logo doesn't really ruin the look on the white one.

To go along with their new jerseys (and a new round of merch drops) the Portland Fire released a new logo and a new insane logo explainer www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

The Portland Fire have released their 2026 jerseys. And they're already for sale, shockingly www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

It's insane to think this is happening. But when you really start to realize how political and petty hall of fames are (looking at you, baseball) it's easy to see why

The Portland Fire are hosting an announcement event tomorrow. They were cryptic about what it is, but per a teaser video just posted it seems to be a jersey launch! www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

It's not lost on me that the Post got 14 credentials, then last second decided that they're only going to send a fraction of who they're credentialed for. As someone who was on the waitlist this year (after two Games of being accredited) and knowing the number of credentials given out, I'm big mad.

We don't know what the Portland Fire's jerseys will look like yet. But we now know one thing at least! www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

There's 1 boys wrestler going for a fourth state title this year. And Brody Buzzard showcased on Saturday that he is ready for the challenge #opreps www.oregonlive.com/highschoolsp...

Everyone! Meet Madden Sandoval. The younger brother of 3-time state champion Gavin Sandoval, this Crook County freshman just announced himself as one of the next wrestling stars after a big win against a former state champ #opreps www.oregonlive.com/highschoolsp...

One thing was clear on Saturday: Class 5A wrestling is HOT. At the Reser's Tournament of Champions, 5A won 8 eight classes. 4A won 2, 3A won 2 (both Burns) and 6A won 1 #opreps

I've got a quick breakdown of every finals match from the 2026 Reser's Tournament of Champions. It included upsets, overtime and some crazy finishes #opreps www.oregonlive.com/highschoolsp...

Tanner Brumble proved it was no fluke. He stunned 6A state champ Archy De La Rosa and 5A state champ Jeremiah Oliva on Saturday and helped lead Thurston to the Reser's team title. The Colts may be the favorite in 5A this year #opreps www.oregonlive.com/highschoolsp...

Likely the upset of the 2025-26 boys wrestling season in Oregon. Thurston sophomore Tanner Brumble (the 5A runner-up at 106 last year) beat Forest Grove's Archy De La Rosa (6A champ at 120) in the 126lb semifinals this morning at the Resers TOC #opreps

Linfield vs. Treasure Valley CC wrestling dual meet at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville. Hands down one of the best sporting experiences in Oregon.

I talked with Portland Fire senior vice president of marketing and communications Kimberly Veale about the "Portlandia" promo that has taken the WNBA by storm www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

Not sports related, but I once emailed former Nyssa Chief of Police Ray Rau and the email started with "Hello Ray" He emailed me back and didn't answer my question. He CC'd my editor and publisher and said my email was unprofessional and I was to refer to him as "Chief Rau"

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

Reser's Tournament of Champions is on Saturday at Sherwood HS. If you're a wrestling nerd like me you like to go check out the semifinals. But holy moly the semifinals are at 10am and the finals aren't until 5 😭😭 #opreps www.reserstoc.com/schedule

Addison Kleinke, the best girls pole vaulter in Oregon high school history, has announced her college commitment #opreps www.oregonlive.com/highschoolsp...

Some personal news: The Oregonian is reorganizing, and I will be covering the Oregon Ducks going forward. Beyond excited to bring a focus on meaningful storytelling to the beat in what figures to be a massive year for the Oregon football program. To #GoBeavs fans: thank you. ⬇️

The message was clear on Thursday morning in Hillsboro: the Portland metro area is the epicenter of women's sports. www.oregonlive.com/sports/2026/...

The Golden State Valkyries made history in 2025 as the first WNBA team to make the playoffs in its debut season. The expansion draft was a big part of that. What can the Portland Fire learn from last year's expansion draft? www.oregonlive.com/wnba/2026/01...

Dante Moore is staying in Eugene for another year. The Oregon quarterback announced on ESPN he is staying in college rather than entering the 2026 NFL draft. www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2026/0...

The Portland Fire has indicated to @oregoniansports.bsky.social that the team intends to honor its history from 2000-2002. That being said, here are the team's all-time leaders in the major stat categories www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

It's been almost 25 years since the Portland Fire last took the court. Now is the time for all new Fire fans to get caught up on the team's top stars from the 2000, 2001 and 2002 seasons! www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

I can’t wait for all of the Pokemon LEGO sets to be bought in seconds by scalpers who will throw them in a closet and try to sell them at double their cost

Skyler Hall is chasing history this year. But first, she had some unfinished business #opreps www.oregonlive.com/highschoolsp...

Your boy spent yesterday at the Dallas Lady Dragon Invite. Far and away the highlight performance was Newberg's Paisley Conway, who dominated two reigning state champions #opreps www.oregonlive.com/highschoolsp...

Whenever the WNBA season starts, there's already a few players and coaches in the WNBA who may be extra excited to return to the Beaver State www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

I dug through the Portland Fire's 2000, 2001 and 2002 seasons. Here are some of the data points I came away with: www.oregonlive.com/portland-fir...

The 2026 WNBA season is supposed to start in mid-May. It's almost January 10 and no CBA means there's still no schedule, no plan for an expansion draft & no date for the WNBA Draft.

WNBA and players’ union fail to reach new CBA, further delaying things for the Portland Fire www.oregonlive.com/wnba/2026/01...
