You may not have heard but the Trail Blazers today announced a partnership with Jones Soda. They’re the folks in Seattle who make the soda pop in goofy flavors and with pictures of real people on the labels. The stuff is going to be available in the Rose Garden now.

To get some attention for that arrangement, Trail Blazer mascot “Blaze the Trail Cat” (he is, according to public address announcer Mark Mason — but I haven’t officially checked this out with all my sources yet — the world’s only flying cat) showed up this morning during Gavin Dawson’s morning show on 95.5 The Game. And Blaze — who sent Gavin into ecstacy with his mere appearance — brought a bottle of Fufu Berry with Gavin’s picture on the label.

I was a guest on the show when it happened, but am perfectly OK with being upstaged by the World’s Only Flying Cat. No problem, there. I’m just wondering if Gavin, over the long haul, is going to be OK with being associated for life with FuFu Berry. Did someone else get Root Beer or Lemon Lime?

The People’s Champ and FuFu Berry? Not that there’s anything wrong with it.
