Being Merritt Paulson

invite.pngRumor has it that Hank Paulson has somehow persuaded Portland to pay for two new stadiums. Totally coincidentally and unrelated, Merritt Paulson, Hank’s son, owns two Portland franchises. A soccer team and a AAA baseball team.
Whoo hoo!

    Merritt Paulson, nice name.
    He must have been conceived on the way into the west side of Manhattan.

    Wow, talk about your all time coink-e-dinks.
    Do you think Paulson knew his son lived in Portland and owned franchises?
    MLS though does rock, I hope it breaks in the US soon.

    The MLS cadre are geniuses… Opening night of the 2009 falls on the eve of the NCAA tourney. My grandma even asked who runs their show.
    Heard they are the ex-fed and treasury folks.
