Do you really believe someone didn't know Texas is summer-hot before they got here? It ain't hot now so presumably he researched. So he's either playing us all along or it was more complicated. Saying Houston is hot may just be an inoffensive backout.

Scouting is irrelevant. Wrapped in a bow. Signed in MLS. This is negotiations.

On negotiations, history would suggest we are cheap. Loans, backloaded compensation. Chastened by Landin. Perhaps useful to bid Portland up? Low risk, low reward.

My issue would be we're two scoring players short of being championship material. We may have to pay to get them. I don't see us improving on second with journeymen, young players, and draft picks. So even if Boyd's risk-reward was wrong, we need to do something.
