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.

Jerseys are awesome if you're in hot conditions and doing physical activities, which I often am

in MLS related stuff, getting a Perry Kitchen Hearts shirt is actually cheaper than a DC United shirt of any kind, because MLS still thinks this is a lifestyle brand for moneyed whites and not a working-class sport for industry and immigrants

Things I learned today, Perry Kitchen is playing Scotland and The Beast now plays for Orlando, and is 34. That makes me feel old.

Also that Aurelien Collin is making $500k to be not very good at soccer, so he'll fit right in with the Red Bulls.

So they've invented a trophy for DC-PHI since clearly the league would rather emphasize the NYisGAY rivalry over the first blood rivalry in league history

It's pretty funny, I have had so many arguments with DC area bloggers about our acquisitions, player fitness etc. They always make these bullshit arguments as if DC doesn't ruin everything is touches and generally make bad choices. "Oh, Halsti is a great player, he'll be a key player for us moving forward as we build" and all of that. Once again they are proven to be wrong. Birnbaum is definitely gone, he is too smart and talented and his representation is too smart and talented to allow him to languish. Hamid will return and be mediocre following his surgery and time off. He'll likely try to jump ship too. Acosta, the mediocre midfield maestro will also likely be gone by the Summer. Things are looking bright.

Seek help.

Yes, noted ASG dodger Liam Ridgewell. Great job MLS.

I was thinking that if someone played in the ASG the year prior and misses either the game prior or game after the break in the current year, they should be allowed to skip.

So the only people who would be suspended are those who miss 2 ASG in a row and play in the game prior to the break.

Actually I think you should be allowed to skip the All Star Game for no reason at all because it's a stupid and antiquated concept that makes MLS look like even more of a Mickey Mouse league than it's already perceived to be.
