What's even goofier than that video is that the league is mad at the Galaxy for making it and is going to give them a talking to about it.

Not to interrupt this fascinating topic, but we have a winner for the 2017 Sack Race. Jeff Cassar, come on down (to the unemployment line).

Honestly I'm surprised he only got three games if they bothered to keep him through the offseason.

That is a really big surprise. They've looked awful this year, but 3 games in seems premature.

At some point Minnesota is going to figure out what the hell they are doing, but every team that plays them in the first few months of the season can basically mark that one off as a guaranteed 3 points.

Wonder where he'd fit in if signed. Looks like a speedy attacker. Would play up top with Morris moving to winger, I guess? No idea.

I'm kind of surprised at this move. Giving up a 4th round draft pick is basically getting him for nothing, but him and Will Bruin are basically the same player. Maybe he's planning on retiring soon and going into coaching like Pineda?

I for one hope that MLS keeps bringing in young South American players that aren't good enough for a top league in Europe. It'll require changing the roster rules so that there aren't a mandatory number of US/CA players in the league though.

Looks like Sigi is getting busy already. It'll be interesting to see what his son's scouting abilities bring for their roster next year. He was really good for Seattle, and I imagine he has a giant portfolio of players that they are planning on replacing the missing 12 roster spots with.

Valeri was the clear MVP vote, and probably could have been the last couple of years too. He either scored or assisted on 32 of Portland's 60 goals (and I'm sure was heavily involved on more than he got assist credit for), and is the only reason they made the playoffs. He is so drat good.
