The Traffic Report: Talking Timbers, Thorns and spring games, plus the end of toll-free month with Brian Tovey

This week’s Traffic Report has a little bit of something for everyone. We begin in the parking lot of the Timbers training facility out in Beaverton, where Tyson and Shane braved the elements to learn that Phil Neville is getting tired of the compliments. Then we talk the end of spring football, NBA Playoffs, What We Ate and Fallout before Brian Tovey joins the show to celebrate the end of The I-5 Corridor’s Toll-Free month. That’s right: The paywall is coming back, baby. But, one more time for good measure, let’s plug the guy who has helped us reach a wider audience this April than in any years past. Even without the paywall, this April generated more paid subscriptions than April 2023 and saw our page views jump from 30,000 to 100,000. Heck, I don’t even think I sold out on content too much. Ok, maybe The Masters thing. Thanks again to Brian, and thanks to everyone who has read and supported The I-5 Corridor over the last two-plus years — it’s your support that allows our state here in Oregon to have a sports section that knows the difference between OU and UO.
