In today's episode of "Grumpy Old Portlander," we ask why a city not only allows piles of leaves in the street for days on end ... but actually encourages these traffic hazards until city leaf collectors arrive at some point.

One of the many things I miss about the PAC-12 is the opportunity every two years to lament that “it’s always tough in the Palouse.” #GoDucks

Enough with the panic about what Iowa could do to Oregon.

Here’s what Oregon will do to Iowa — get an early lead and coast to a 28-10 win. #GoDucks

When future historians seek out signs of civilization’s utter collapse, may I humbly suggest the moment that the inexplicably compulsory shots of Jerry Jones in his owner’s box somehow got even more ridiculous with the addition of Stephen A. Smith. #MNF

Good on Yang Hansen for passing the road test for his Oregon driver’s license.

I failed the first time … with the examiner telling me “what it boils down to, young man, is you’re a danger on the road.” #RipCity
