    How long did republicans complain about Obama? Pretty sure it was more than the first year of his Presidency. Of course their complaints some how had more merit, so its totally different LMFAO!

    Complaining over time and incessant daily social media posting are two different things. I’m amused at the angst Trump must be creating for these folks who come unhinged daily. They’re so focused on trying to get him on something or one-up him on Twitter they’ve missed him reshaping the Federal judiciary

    Don’t know about that - maybe you caught it but others seem more concerned retweeting folks like Shaun King - a white guy whom claims he is black - than looking at lists of nominees. It’s a gift from Harry Reid too!!

    I guess finally - is the Chronicle sending Corey to Seattle?

    So disappointed in our friend’s twitter campaign. Guess he just isn’t as good of a community organizer as his hero Obama was

    Looks like the Chronicle made the right call not sending anyone to Seattle

    I’d say I’m surprised but it seem par for the course for the Dynamo. It is baffling how they fail to execute on the same things after 12 seasons in Houston

    After De Ro is sold to TFC, Stuie and Cameron get sold to EPL clubs, Waibel and Wade n others retire, then Ching does as well, to all the other moves n trades by our players over the years, then all the cuts in former likable and loyal Dynamo front office staff to then rehire the same positions with straight outta college folks that will work for peanuts, who has been the constant in all this that keeps his or her job regardless of how fast the brand loses it's media coverage and fan base? I will give you two guesses but you will only need one Westie.

    I wasted about 20 minutes of my life listening to this - I’m pretty sure I could do this better than they can, that is a seemingly unprepared coffee shop discussion of the Dynamo with an orange tint to it. They try to make it sound like the Dynamo are playing chess when everyone else is in MLS is playing checkers (stuff like “Toronto can’t keep spending and it is not sustainable”) implying the Dynamo’s cheap approach is better LOL

    Yikes!

    One of them actually thought Maradona played on the N.Y. Cosmos, but forgot about Beckenbauer.

    Listen, I know the dudes are younger but you gotta have a knowledge base and the knowledge base starts with the top 5: Pele, Maradona, Beckenbauer, Cruyf, Platini (Lev Yashin honorable mention).

    Sawker didn’t start with CR7 and Messi.

    It was like overhearing a bad soccer conversation on a long airline flight. I couldn’t tell if it was supposed to be entertaining or serious since it was neither.

    That reminds me. Why do people say "sawker"? I've never heard an Americans pronounce the first syllable like "saw". It's pretty much always like "sock".

    Is this a British pronunciation issue? Do they say SAW-kur? It is a British word after all.

    The English say Saw-cur while complaining about the provincials not saying football.

    It’d be nice to get some news on Cubo Torres rumors but instead it seems like sports media in Houston has been consumed with this sort of fishy “missing sports reporter” story that now they may have to walk back some things on.

    Yes but only after 18 hours of coverage and tweets by national and local sports media implying that she may have been abducted only for it to turn out not to be the case - apparently now claiming some effects of medication causing her to go AWOL. Me thinks there is more to the story

    Former Brit here.

    "Sawker" is how a Brit mimicking a Yank would pronounce the word using an American accent.

    This of course belies the fact that most Brits are excellent mimics of American accents.

    "Saarcka" would probably be more appropriate for a mimic.

    Of course. Since the "r" has magically moved from the end of the word to the middle.
