    Michael Bradleian thoughts:
    [1] "I may go East, I may go West, but wherever I go my heavily buttered bread is the Best!"
    [2] "When The Don tells me to give a shameless show of respect, I Give a Shameless Show of Respect."
    [3] "That'll teach those flyover country rubes to boo the grandeur that is me! It takes sophistication and nuance to know that I wasn't zoning out in my gentle meander to the corner against fearsome T&T, it was Zening, Baby!"

    My own thoughts:
    [1] Michael Bradley has disgraced himself on and off the field this year.
    [2] Of all the owners I might have suspected MLS' leadership to care so much about that they would lie with him to the lying end, I would never suspected it would be that narcissistic hamster Frat Tony P. .... Wise choice, The Don, wise choice.
    [3] So Precourt sustains a campaign of sabotage against his team in order to "justify" moving his team, doing everything he can to damage the market in Columbus in order have more time doing the Frat at the Blind Pig Pub, and it is Columbus that has not kept pace??? Michael, when you're going to shill the company line, at least ask yourself if you can't phrase it in a way that doesn't exhibit you as world class idiot.
    [4] Mikey, just as a reminder, you have disgraced yourself off and on the field this year.

    Michael Bradley's transformation from Captain America to evil villian reminds me of the good old days of WWF (F, not E), when Andre The Giant or Hulk Hogan went from being a good guy to a bad guy.

    Some (most) on Big Soccer will say he was always like this but we overlooked it do to nepotism.

    But $6m contract, Plays for the best team in MLS, left Europe and the past...makes him a delicious villian. He and Jozy would be an awesome tag team partnership.

    In general I think sports needs more shills. It's a shame Bradley wanted to step up and play one. I would love to see a bad guy race car driver. Tanking a victory lap while giving the crowd the finger.

    Thanks guys...after the last month I needed this.:D

    "Are you making fun of me?"

    "No sir."

    Bam.

    I was hooked.

    Talk about a great bad guy.

    Well....Mikey would be a great Lex Luther. Would put Jessie E to absolute shame.

    Hey coach...I'm foiling up!

    Great scene in The Detour where he foils up for the fight. I lost it I laughed so hard, and my wife looked at me like I was insane.

    I grew up in NYC back in the day and guys really did that.

    Ah....nostalgic feel good violence. Bless you TV!

    He has a fight scene in season two where his opponent is wondering what the hell he is doing....he is calm as can be as he foils up. As a Slapshot fan you would appreciate it.

    The character is a former minor league hockey enforcer/goon and writes much of the show, so I am sure Slapshot is dear to his heart.

    It's a decent show. Some real LOL stuff, some real misses, season two misses a lot more as it goes on, but if you are bored it probably is worth a whirl.

    GoHuskies Podcast 1 - Bob Rondeau
    Washington Athletics

    This would normally be out of place, a podcast about the legendary Voice of the Huskies Bob Rondeau retiring after 37 years, but something I never knew until around the 31st minute is that Bob called Sounders games back in the old NASL days and talks a little about the sport there at the end of the podcast.

    Pretty sure that is Garber as Piper and Columbus as Snuka.
