  1. I've followed this league since its inception in 1993 before the World Cup in 1994. I've never been to a Burn game in all that time, but I will be there when Austin takes over that stadium August 7, 2021. Austin will be treating the Dynamo like Texas treats the Cougars and Owls and will treat the Burn like SMU; rather than Burnt Orange taking over, it will be a sea of green in those stadiums.
  2. Apparently you missed the fact that McCoughnagey (I'm fine with the spelling) is playing Josh Wolff in this video. I think he got the accent right, but the makeup guys let him down a little bit. Look closely at Josh's McCoughnagey's nose; they clearly exaggerate for effect.
  3. Our last game before the Gold Cup break is against LA FC this Wednesday; LA has a Saturday game on the road at Real Salt Lake. I like getting them on a short week. After the Gold Cup Break we play Seattle in our first game back on Thursday, July 22. Every other team comes back earlier; Seattle has a game on Sunday, July 18 at Minnesota. I like getting them on a short week as well. Getting 6 points is likely from these two. We've already taken road points off Number 1 Western Conference Leader, Seattle and Number 2, KC (were leading KC 1-0 before a Ring red in other KC road game). Additionally, we've outright beaten Number 4 in the west, Colorado, as well as Number 5 in the west, Minnesota, both on the road. We just thrashed the team sitting in the final playoff spot, Number 7 Portland. Additionally, we took a point off of the east team we get to play this year, Number 5 in the east, Columbus. All of this without a fucking striker. I think we are sitting pretty. I'm starting to get giddy with the possibilities. Playoffs should expected at this point. How's that for glass is half full?
  4. Right after the game I had to go take a piss so I didn't burst once we got on the train. Walking against the grain of the crowd coming towards me and I notice Claudio Reyna, in a suit, a phone to his ear with a big shit eating grin. Without realizing what I'm doing, suddenly I've grabbing him on both sides of his shoulders and shaking him and screaming: "Fucking holy shit, Claudio, you fucking did it baby"! Rather than head but me or cold cock me (heh), he screams back at me laughing hysterically, and high fived me. (he also turned his phone to me to show me who he was taking to, but I'm blind and couldn't see her tits) Holy fuck that night was ridiculous. p.s. The only thing untrue in this story is the tits; they may have been there, but again I'm blind. (and was drunk)
  5. important thing to note is he's not the DP that we've been waiting on; he'll be in addition to a big DP signing
  6. yea, the objective doc that asks the question: shouldn't the US Women's national team be gifted the bonus money they would've gotten if they won the Men's World Cup?
  7. I was thinking the back up goal keeper was a brother for some reason; I'm an old so don't persecute me.
  8. yea, they have either too slow in build up (early season) and now have no patience. The real issue is that chances are there and there isn't anyone there to finish. Even a Zardes level finisher would have us with 3 more wins I think.
  9. This is false from what I understand.
  10. think his brother is on the team (Pulisik) and Greg's son is on the team (Berhalter)
  11. Uh, it's the fans (supporters groups) that picked those names for themselves. What does the team have to do with the supporters groups naming themselves in Spanish?
  12. I think you are thinking of Gallagher rather than Pochettino; the latter doesn't get near goal much and tends to shoot from distance
  13. He is one of the top 3 defensive midfielders, number 6 positionally if you will, in the league He is like top 5 in tackles won (1 fewer game than the league leader) and top 5 in passing percentage as well I believe.
  14. yea, and I think that was only the second red of his career, completely lost his mind for no reason; stupid fucking foul at mid field
  15. fuck, you forget the guy is on the field until they announce Housen has almost done something good...again
  16. Did this garner any aggy anguish? Where does that leave us in the rankings?
  17. Again, I don't know a fucking thing a bout him. You want to be less subtle and give me the short story?
  18. Why is this again? I don't know much about him other than he's come up through the U.S. youth system.
  19. the second Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham get relegated to the Championship, the Championship becomes the Premier League
  20. I can confirm that this is true according to my anonymous sources. The underlying reason is even more miraculous. Malcolm Epps had been diagnosed with narcolepsy by the previous staff. As everyone who has watched Epps play can attest, this has affected his aggression and blocking ability. The new staff has decided to take a more unconventional approach. They have synchronized Spring practices to coincide with Epps sleeping episodes (this is the actual reason for the delay in practices, not covid). This is where it gets interesting: the new staff found out that Epps also had violent nightmares while having a narcoleptic episode. Says one former anonymous player, "[Bleep] dude, when that mother[Bleeper] is asleep it's like that kung fu movie where Kareem Abdul Jabbar fights Bruce Lee". (said my anonymous source Juwan Mitchell, remember to delete sources name later) Says one anonymous coach, "Uh yea, we just have one of the players on offense walk him to his place on the line. When Bijan runs behind Epps when he starts to flail, it usually goes for a touchdown." Well, there you have it, this confirms what Kirk Johnson has been telling me during his what should have been stellar career. -- Chip Brown
  21. How long did it take you to convince the Buckeyes of this?
  22. Look dude, the other 'choice' was a guy who couldn't bench a 100 lbs. Lay off the Trailblazers.
  23. Linguists, cunning or otherwise, are still not sure what language the Ogre speaks
