Six Degrees: Suddenly Busy

A week ago, the Timbers were boring us to tears with their lack of news. This week, it’s been non-stop action. Let’s break it all down.

1) It wasn’t a big surprise, but Liam Ridgewell and the Timbers have mutually agreed to part ways. Ridgy was somewhat of a polarizing figure during the 4-plus years he was here. He got injured too much, he wasn’t nearly as good on the road as he was at home, he seemed to loaf every now and then, and worst of all, he occasionally posted photos of himself on Instagram doing things like boating and golfing and not soccering.
