Portland, Oregon must have a West Coast inferiority complex. It pales in comparison to gargantuan Los Angeles, it’s not a hub of debauchery like Las Vegas, and it never experienced the height of Grunge like Seattle.

Shopping reported a 50% increase in page views over the weekend compared with last year. The top items shoppers clicked on included a Kenneth Cole reaction black wool Trench Coat starting at $66.99 and the $79.99 Transformers Ultimate Bumblebee action figure, which is already sold...
...went corporate? What would it be like for you, the fan?This parallel universe would start with the venue name, of course. Bid farewell to the Bright Hockey Center, as its name changes to the “insert random bank here” Hockey Center.But that pales in comparison to the ads around the rink, on the jumbotron, on the boards, and amazingly, even on the ice itself. At least this makes it easy to keep track of where all the big plays happened.“I still can’t believe that guy got up after...
