Did it sound like he was chain smoking and polishing off a fifth of Jack during the call? That'd probably be the only I could get through making those calls all day, and I don't like either of those things.

No, it sounded like a bright eyed early 20s female "social media representative" who knew nothing about MLS or soccer so I'm assuming she posts in this thread.

His dad and another relative are also in the Panama Papers. As I have said a dozen times, his family got rich stealing natural resources from Indonesia. Also, he is apparently trying to buy West Brom and run them into the ground.

Rapids defender Mekeil Williams is stuck in Trinidad after a WCQ waiting for his P1 visa to arrive by mail. Rapids are going into Saturday's game with four healthy defenders if he can't make it back in time. :doh: Kinda glad I didn't make the trip after all.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

The league is starting to pressure teams to pull press passes and access from fans for various stupid reasons such as "they or their families having season tickets." The longest running DC United podcast is now ending as a result of these maneuvers, which is sad. Frankly, it was one of the best produced and most fun podcasts for any MLS club or subject. MLS is poo poo.

...escape goat is played out, why not?

people will make scarves out of anything. I dunno if it's just because the timbers army are The Absolute Worst, but these motherfuckers will make scarves to commemorate anything. not the actual merch crew for the TA, but random people will independently design and make their own scarves that say poo poo like "YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US" "FEAR THE BEARD" "BATTLESTAR PORTLANDIA" (ok I have one of those) but yeah. I made Valeri a banner last year that said "TROESMA" and there are three scarves in the works, none of which I'm involved with.

In case you guys haven't noticed, Columbus' colors are now yellow, white, and powder blue.

I'm making this assumption since I think they've worn this awful "third kit" every game so far.

I'm thoroughly displeased with how things are going with the DC United front office right now.

But I'm quite happy we finally won a match this weekend. Now, if we can just do it against a club that doesn't have a strong history of losing at RFK...
