I have lived in Seattle for two years and DC for two years prior to that and went to exactly zero (0) MLS matches in that time.

I went to a NY Redbulls game, was fun and I got poo poo housed and just yelled at the players on the field. If the ticket wasn’t free, I’d have never gone.

This is my MLS experience post, thanks for reading.

Speaking of lovely leagues, I'm tired of being offered free CFL tickets because it's loving November in a snow storm and people acting like I'm being a dick head by saying I can't take them.

I have paid to go to a lot of professional soccer games in the US. They are enjoyable so long as you don't sit in the supporters sections, which are filled with the most unbearable try-hard morons.

Not so much. Student sections at college football games are just drunk and stupid. Supporters sections at US soccer games are a couple thousand living embodiments of Reddit, chanting the worst poo poo and throwing beer into the air.

When I was in college someone stole a roll of toilet paper from the stadium bathroom and tried to throw it through the crowd. But it was an unused, industrial sized roll, and it didn't unspool at all. It was rock hard and super heavy and they just drilled my roommate in the head with it.

That's the kinda poo poo that needs to happen at soccer games.

what are these stories? do elaborate plz

Porsche designed a 962 as a Group C (then top tier World Sportscars Championship/WEC) car. It did well for a few years and then regulations and developments from rivals made it uncompetitive. Dauer then turned it into a road-car. Porsche realised they could enter this road car in GT1 which had some weird rules at that stage which potentially gave the Group C cars an advantage in quali but big disadvantages in race pace. Long story short the Dauer Porsche qualied in 5th and 7th, but came first and third.
The ACO added homologation requirements which killed the Dauer Porsche the next year, similar to how Mazda copped "we don't know how to deal with your stupid rotaries so you can keep your stupid trophy but don't come back next year" after they won.

1988 Italian GP was the first GP after Enzo Ferrari died. The Tifosi hoped beyond hope for a Ferrari win. McLaren had won the other 11 races of the season. Long story short, McLaren McLaren'd their way out of a win (Prost had ?engine problems? and Senna crashed with a car he was lapping) and Ferrari got a magical one-two. ?Then they had some problem in scrutineering that the FIA overlooked.?
If I was tifosi this would be like the high point of F1 in the 80s. But I'm not. And I don't feel it is.

I knew both of these stories and am an idiot for not recognizing what you were talking about initially :suicide:

The Dauer 962 is such a great story. Winning LeMans, road car conversion, GT1 conversion, winning LeMans again :fap:

In a second season episode of Happy Endings a character insults Dave by calling him "Rocksteady," after which they immediately cut to Penny talking about "bebopping on in here." It is the greatest joke in history.

Oh the bike was OK, the loving H.I.S.S anti-theft system that you can’t disable and is married to your key is a pile of very broken poo poo. The reason that bike got sold was because after hundreds of pounds spent on repeatedly fixing the loving thing Mr LC came across some dodgy fuckers carrying his bike into a Luton van in tescos car park. Mr LC being a rather large man chased them off though.
