The Traffic Report went for a bit of a field trip this week. On today’s episode, Tyson and Justin are back from their Wednesday outing at Joe Etzel Field, where the No. 15 Ducks and Portland Pilots had an ending that neither one of us had seen in person before.

We discuss the game, our pre-first pitch celebrity encounter, Justin’s trip to Vegas and why Oregon MBB doesn’t just put together an NIL superstar team before airing some grievances about Top Chef’s egregious use of hockey terminology.

Soccer fans: I’ll have a preview of Portland’s upcoming match with Austin FC, focusing on the responsibilities veterans like Diego Chara and Felipe Mora have shouldered throughout the first month of the season, later this afternoon.
