The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

edit: Portland @ Seattle on Decision Day. That should be...fun...

I'm really going to miss those Saturday afternoon games, especially in the summer. The thing that really pisses me off is that due to bus schedule changes, I can take a bus to the 7:30 games, but can't get one home, so I have to either beg a ride or uber back; too risky to drive after game day drinking.

That decision day game is either going to be spicy as hell, or a complete nothingburger. Both teams are going to look very different next year, so who knows what the hell the standings will look like late season.

apparently accordingly to local scribes he is somehow the cheaper option (as Crepeau was in his FA year and wanted/deserved a raise) which I get/am prepared to accept

but I watched enough 22/23 Spurs to know that the on-field keeping is likely to be a lot worse

because it's LAFC I'm okay with this

really is there anything more authentically Miami than a cruise line for a kit sponsor?

well, besides things that are illegal to even sell

So what do you want to be called?

I'm not a big soccer person, so maybe this is a trend that I'm not aware of, but centering everything on the jersey looks ridiculous. I feel like there's enough familiarity with the design of soccer kits that, even in the US, someone who has never seen a game could see the placement of manufacturer logo<->team crest and sponsor logo below and immediately recognize it as soccer. I'm not sure why you would make the choice to steer away from that.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

And yet Miami will have the most bought jersey in MLS next year, probably more than the next 3-5 teams combined soooooooooooooo

Not a fan of everything in a line there, but they'll sell a million or two of them. Perfect sponsor choice for Miami too.

I can't imagine replacements would be that much worse, MLS (and CONCACAF) are already pretty bad. Paying then like $50k a season is probably a big reason for that though.

Joey Saputo just hired the next guy he's going to fire at the end of the year.

DC and Minnesota still need coaches, and for maximum comedy DC should re-hire Wayne Rooney, qtiyd.

I gotta tell ya', I actually love that guy from his time with the Galaxy (and Galaxy II!), but this is a remarkably bad idea.

Still, I hope it works out for him.

Box to Box Films, makers of the Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive, are doing something about MLS for Apple TV+. Details are sparse.

You know what doc I'd like to see? One on the birth of the league. There's a lot of stuff you could talk about, from the 'Americanized' rules of the early days to the fight for survival in the early '00s.

In more "does any team's front office actually read the news at all?" news, FC Dallas tried to sell Jesus Ferreira (e: in a transfer *he* wanted to have happen) to Spartak Moscow before the league reminded them how loving stupid making business deals with anyone in Russia is and nixed the deal.

If I were Jesus I'd be demanding a trade ASAP.

vvv I somehow skimmed over that line, but Dallas' FO still doesn't look good in this for not immediately shutting that poo poo down.
