And now, a starting XI of the worst logos in the history of the world. AS BARI Having been in business for a hundred years playing against some of the most famous and beloved clubs in the world, Bari has stuck with this misfire for literally decades. Yes, by now it’s …
History of the world, part two
Okay, so, the career paths of Juan Agudelo and Danny Califf have merged. Let’s see what happens in the Estupiclasico on Saturday. Conventional wisdom has the blue team on the decline and the red team on a slow, slow rise. I think conventional wisdom is wrong, but from a national …
I don’t think I’ll ever get a straight answer on this – but why did the Galaxy play at home on Cinco de Mayo, when Chivas USA were not only in town, but played at the Home Depot Center the night before? Because ESPN demanded the LA-NY matchup? They could …
I apologize in advance for the Bleacher Report-esque topic. I’ll write about the actual sport someday. Until then, there’s Matt Doyle. (Actually, read and listen to him instead of me, you’ll be glad you did. One thing to think about when watching that – is your team making those runs? If …
Because it is bitter, and because it is my league
I should know better, I really should. And yet, here I am, reliably as one of Pavlov’s dogs, murdering valuable electrons mocking the idea that promotion and relegation is feasible for MLS. No, that’s not a mixed metaphor. The correct response to an article or blog post about promotion and …

First of all, I apologize that I’m managing the Rise and Shine contest so poorly. I’m having trouble getting in touch with winners, which is annoying as all hell. And if another day or so goes by, then I’m going to start private messaging some runners-up. On the bright side, …
I, too, believe the best players in soccer history never won a World Cup
I’d say Houston stuck Montreal with a $400,000 white elephant. Except elephants are supposed to have good memories: “I decided that I want to retire on my own terms,” Ching said at a press conference on Friday. “I don’t want to be dictated into retirement and, honestly, I feel like …
Preston fights for the rights of every man
Everyone’s talking about what Zimmerman in Germany has to say – and no wonder! We intend to begin on the first of February unrestricted submarine warfare. We shall endeavor in spite of this to keep the United States of America neutral. In the event of this not succeeding, we make …
