Timbers to embrace Puppy Power

If you can’t handle the puppy, get off of the field.

The Portland Timbers may be struggling, but things are about to turn around. Want to know why?

PUPPIES.

That’s right, the Timbers are bringing puppies into the fold and no team with Puppy Power can ever be defeated.

The only question now is how many goals they want to win by. One puppy means a 100 goal win, two puppies a 200 goal win, three puppies a 300 goal win, etc.

And just in case you think that’s bad sportsmanship, puppies > sportsmanship.
