You can sorta quote me on this ramble: "I love the smell of a tailgate in the morning. Smells like.... victory." " The next time you see a final, it'll be in our town. The next time you want a silverware, it will be at our stadium. The league, they want the bestest stuff for us. But right now they gotta do what's right for them, 'cause it's their time. Their time, over there. Here in KC, its our time. It's our time down here." What am I trying to say this Saturday morning? "Houston, they have a problem." "They don't understand. They coulda had class. They coulda been a contender. They could been an MLS Champion, instead of second place two years in a row, which is 1st loser, which is what they are, let's face it." But that time has passed. We have given them chances to win. "But we've got a job to do. Where we're going you can't follow. What we've got to do, they can't be a part of. Houston, we're no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that our problems of not closing out the playoffs amounts to a hill the beans in this crazy world and we are climbing that hill this year. Someday you'll understand that." You see, Sporting fans, we have learned. "What we had was a failure to communicate." And we are sick of it. "We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore!" This year is gonna be special. "Winning, for lack of a better word, is good." And win we shall. A lot of it. Two games away and now we come back. "There's no place like home." So perhaps I should direct this at Chicago instead. "They are wanting answers as well. They think they are entitled. They want the truth. But they can't handle the truth." Truth is, we are about to take this game. Take this summer. It will be our year, the first of many in a row. "Our Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former Wizards team, now, about to become MLS champion. It looks like a mirac... It's in the goal! It's in the goal! It's in the goal!" "Here's lookin' at you, Sporting."
