whypick1 posted:Referee of the Year: Alan Kelly (who did such a stellar job in the final I counted Alonso with at least 7 fouls committed, 4 elbows to the face, and 5 plays worthy of at least a yellow in that game. But Chad Marshall was the guy who got Seattle's only yellow. That was a terribly officiated game and i hope he's embarrassed when he watches the tape.

Fuuuuuuuuck. Dave Romney or Ariel Lassiter would be really good pickups for any team. That must have been rough for the FO. edit: Christian Techera and Ivanschitz are the only others that seem good value for the money. B.B. Rodriguez fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Dec 12, 2016 |

He wants to win his own award. That said, any team giving him a DP contract is dumb and should fire their GM. This includes the possibility we sign him.

Ciprian Maricon posted:Why? England is a tiny Island nation that produces an absurd amount of talent relative to its size and fills up some 9 levels worth of a footballing pyramid (the majority of that talent dwarfs what is available in mls), they are something to emulate not be scared of and the idea that the PL has somehow stifled the development of English players is laughable, Cahill, Sterling, Lallana, Henderson, Sturridge, competing in the Premier league against the best the world can offer has done loads to create exceptional players. It's a tiny island with 1/6th of our population with a density of 1100/sq mi compared to our 90/sq mi. We have 5 major professional sports and they have 1. They have talent because it's literally all they do. In the age old, tired argument, what would we have in this country is our best athletes played soccer? We'd dominate them like most other sports on the planet.

If so, does that mean the Chargers won't do M or Th games?  Yep! All midweek games while the college is in session have like half capacity because of parking. It's on the campus of CSU Dominguez Hills, which you should know from the wonderful movie Bring It On. It's the college Kirsten Dunst's bf goes to.

So we signed Allessandrini from Marseille and I'm legit fanboying over here, but there's one thing that really put a damper on my day. OM is now owned by Frank McCourt, former owner of the LA Dodgers and all around awful human being. That wasn't the most horrible part though. He bought them for $45m. $45m. That includes the stadium, players, facilities, everything. His stake in the parking lots at Dodger stadium are valued at $100m. This guy parleyed the parking lots at Fenway to owning the Dodgers, then getting a ~$2b buyout while keeping the parking lots, and finally buying a club with assets worth north of $300m for 1/6th the price.
