The backdrop at Highmark Stadium in Pittsburgh has to be top 3 in American soccer. A freight train just passed the far sideline for like, two minutes. https://www.ussoccer.com/lamar-hunt...nd-pittsburgh-riverhounds-sc-vs-fc-cincinnati
Yes, I noticed that a couple years ago. It has a great view of a river, a bridge, and a skyline. The train going by takes it to a whole different level though.
San Antonio broadcast references a 16-year-old in the lineup, as well as a 38-year-old on the roster. Color commentator: "almost...twice his age."
A gem now from the PbP guy: "Eboussi is gonna see yellow here...*ref shows card*...and there's the mustard." I need more people to refer to cards as ketchup and mustard.
Sacramento pressing surprisingly high after losing the ball, for playing at altitude in Reno. In the first ten minutes, we've seen center back Taintor forcing a Reno player into a bad pass from his own endline (!), and several other players winning the ball in the attacking third.
I know this isn't really the place for it, but I'm hammered and pigs are clogging up the airspace around DC, so: LET'S GO CAPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up playing street hockey with Sidney Crosby in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. He was a whiner, I'm glad the Caps are in the final and not the Pens this year.
Selling to pay for all the tickets we had to buy, if there's a sucker willing to pay $1500 each for middle of the upper deck seats.
Whilst waiting for the much soccering of balls and the great American rugby escapades, you can always turn on CBSSN right now for the US Open Pickleball Championships. 1. That's apparently a real thing. 2. This feels like what ESPN 2 was in it's first few years.
A week or 2 ago during prime time, ESPN was showing the "Johnsonville Cornhole Championship" followed by a sport called "Spikeball." At the same time you had the NBA playoffs, the Stanley Cup playoffs, regular season baseball, etc. all on other non ESPN networks at the same time. They have been forced to cut costs so much that they have actually become "the Ocho" from the movie Dodgeball.
