Eight years younger and a reason to bench Jared Jeffrey? Hell yeah. Vancouver got suckered here. Fabi is way past it and not worth the wages.

Between him and Blas Perez we have one complete (rear end in a top hat of a) depth striker who isn't an utterly terrible finisher for if Kudo gets injured again, and we're only on the hook for half a season of his contract. Not ideal but for a midseason rental deal I'll take it I guess?

When is DC's last season at RFK? I want to go to a NYRB away game to witness the dump once before it's done.

While I think no one but me likes FC Dallas (or at least no one seems to talk about them), I thought I'd share the link. Anyone wants to watch the USOC quarter between FCD and the Dynamo, here is a link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s78psSct5zo

Seltzer posted:When is DC's last season at RFK? I want to go to a NYRB away game to witness the dump once before it's done. 2017 is the farewell season. I'm gonna say this again because it's important to say: I love RFK. It's a crumbling concrete hole. It's completely lacking in modern amenities. It's too loving big. It's rusted through. The food is hazardous to your health. It's the exact opposite of the Prawn Sandwich Effect. And that's why it owns. It's by a river and surrounded by trees and parks in the parking areas. The pitch itself is immaculate. The sight lines are excellent. It's a place to watch a sporting event. It excels at that. 2018 is going to be full of too-loud PA systems and targeted marketing and probably yet another Ben's Chili Bowl. It'll be overpriced and accessible via the most overcrowded section of the Metro. The sections won't bounce. THE loving STAND WILL NOT BOUNCE. Seriously, there is no better feeling in area sports than the bouncing stands of RFK. When everyone is excited and cheering, it is the single best experience. I'll mourn its passing. We all should. XyrlocShammypants posted:Remember that time we let Chris Pontius go and he scored 7 goals and 4 assists in <20 games. Turns out it wasn't him it was us Remember when Chris Pontius spent two years rehabbing from injuries? Some of that is New Team Bounce. Some of that is full strength. And some of this, and we both know this, is the DC medical staff. A concussion might as well be the curse of the black spot. The fact that we haven't fired every physio, every trainer and every doctor on staff after decades of neglect is damning. And yet everybody in the echo chamber said SHUT UP ALHAJI KAMARA IS FINE THE DOCTORS SAID SO. Why anyone would trust the doctors that missed EJ's heart defect and let a concussion end the careers of Raul Diaz Arce and Davy Arnaud, amongst others (Bryan Namoff's wife wants to go on a killing spree in RFK, and there ain't a jury in the world that would convict her) should give us all pause. They asked if I wanted to renew my season tickets. I don't. They don't deserve the tick on the league spreadsheet for it.

I was dreading 30 more minutes for a squad that has to go play at Colorado on Saturday. Us FC Dallas fans aren't particularly numerous, but we don't have to be when the team speaks for itself.

Pharmacy Chain: "Hey Marketing Company, we'll pay you $X per prescription you send our way" (Conspiracy) Marketing Company: "Hey Peter Pappas, we'll pay you $X to increase prescriptions carried out by Pharmacy Chain by any means necessary" Pappas: "Hey friends, file a bunch of claims for XYZ prescriptions through Pharmacy Chain, even if you don't need it" Pappas and friends file claims for prescriptions they don't need (Insurance fraud) Their employers give Pharmacy Chain a bunch of money for said prescriptions Pharmacy Chain gives Marketing Company their cut (Kickback) Marketing Company pays Pappas Repeat until indictment

Where does Valspar sit on the continuum of problematic MLS sponsors? As a paint company that's been around since the 19th century, I bet they've poisoned at least a few people with industrial runoff or something.

I am still shocked that the Galaxy aren't sponsored by Samsung, but then again that makes too much sense. Homer Pick: Sounders have the best sponsor in the league, but that isn't a tough task considering most of the competition.

Why can't Zach Scott just retire and move back to Hawaii... FFS we are probably going to open an Academy there soon with him as a coach or something since we claimed it as HGP territory somehow last season. People thought I was crazy for saying Mears way overperformed last season and was gonna crash like Pineda and he has been dogshit all season. Also This... https://twitter.com/AleBedoya17/status/757326731682471936 we loving lowballed Bedoya one of the few decent American midfielders and then turned around to hand a DP contract to Nelson Valdez who has played less and worse somehow than CHAD loving BARRETT!!!

I'm ok with the lovely results this year, although I do hope it prompts them to get rid of Lagerway and perhaps Sigi. I wish the other things the FO were doing would stop, like that clear bag policy bullshit.

You guys probably know this already, but Borchers snapped his Achilles on Saturday and is out for the season at the least. Also it looks like Portland will be signing Steven Taylor from Newcastle as well.
