Ohio Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) and Oregon Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) settled their friendly wager on the Major League Soccer Cup result today with a six-pack of the Columbus Brewing Companys Winter Warmer. Senator Wyden wins this time around. After having to don Ohio State apparel after the Buckeyes victory over the Oregon Ducks in the college football championship last season, the Oregon Senator has redeemed himself. Congratulations to the Portland Timbers on winning the MLS Cup, Portman said. I am proud of the incredible season that Columbus Crew SC had and I look forward to seeing them in next years MLS Cup. I was glad to hold up my side of the bargain and present my friend Senator Wyden with a six-pack of the Columbus Brewing Companys Winter Warmer. Until next time! Since theres no pity in the Rose City, I am thrilled on behalf of Timbers supporters everywhere to accept Senator Portmans gracious acknowledgment of Portlands soccer supremacy, Wyden said. The Timbers Army and all of the teams fans can take huge pride in the MLS Cup and all that the Timbers do every day to make Portland and Oregon a better community. Last week, the senators agreed that if Columbus Crew SC were to emerge victorious, Wyden would have to give Portman a six-pack of the Widmer Brothers Timbers Hefe. Because the Portland Timbers won, Portman had to fulfill his side of the bet by giving Wyden a six-pack of the Columbus Brewing Companys Winter Warmer. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
