News: MLS Suspends season due to Coronavirus

And I'm done here. SMH

 

I thought I read he's no longer involved with the company, though I'm sure he has a decent chunk of stock in it still.

 

He's the original Move Kansas City guy.

 

With the agreement between the players and MLS meaning mini-tourney is a go - now the pensive wait to see if I'm going to Orlando. The way the sports world is right now, it could easily represent the bulk of the money I earn this year if I go, and some serious consideration to finding a programming job if I don't.

Oh, and an unnamed FC Dallas player has tested positive, so yay!

 

Costa Rican soccer on ESPN2, LIVE right now!!!

Really? Wahl has been fairly out of touch when it comes to the USWNT and his analysis. Has anyone else reported the same about the owners and MLS Players?

 

I dunno....Every time I drive by the Lowe's it's packed. The parking lot looks like a Saturday morning. And there is always a line of work trucks at the contractor's entrance. This is also on Tuesday......I'm also in Eastern PA.

 

I probably upset him with the phrase "virtue signaling" which is usually a very bad phrase but describes Grant "more virtuous that thou" Wahl perfectly.

 

You're probably right. I'm just guessing.

 

I don't doubt that supermarkets are very busy. I've been going grocery shopping twice a week. The store where I shop has been having senior hours from 6 to 7 a.m. every day, so I've been getting up at 5:15 every Monday and Thursday. There are a lot of customers there at that hour.

 

He reported the comment of one player. What reason is there to disbelieve that one player said this thing? What does the USWNT have to do with it?

 

Ya know, protesting something or other. Damned commies.

 

I am pretty sure that Don Garber would have kept his health insurance and salary during a lockout.

Rich owners are greedy, their hired managers are ruthless. Film at 11.

 

I hope it works out for you. Any chance of double duty with the NBA also being there?

 

Our customer count is down 15%, but our sales are up about 40% on average since March.

 

Home Depot sales were up 6.4% in their first quarter over last year. This period covered until early May, so a good chunk was in post lockdown world.

Arthur Blank is retired from the company but does still have a 1.5% stake. The stock is now higher than it was pre-lockdown

 

I'm not sure how the contractor side of things has been going, but I'm three years into a major transformation of my yard. I've put in over three hundred shrubs (over 250 azaleas), built several walls, including a five level step down terracing during the Covid-19 work stoppage, and in the last two days I've put two tons of medium sized river rocks into a mostly dry creek bed I've been building.

Anyway, I would say the garden centers at both Lowe's and Home Depot have been getting crushed. On my few trips inside, the line of prepared carts for curbside delivery is amazing.

And what I've done in the last 2 1/2 months is probably about year and a half or two worth of my steady progress in my yard.

Ah, what the hell. Here are a couple of photos. The spillway/runout below the "dam" has been prepped in the first image (it took about a ton of the river rocks to fill up). The channel you see in the second photo (unprepped) is now full of river rocks up until under the old playset (now hanging garden). I figure I'll need another two tons of river rock. The creek bed actually continues another 30+ feed that you can't see in these photos.

 

I can't see any photos.

 

We're doing a lot of work on the house so I've been in Lowes at least once a week since this whole thing started. I've never once thought it looked any less busy than it used to be. And as you note, tradespeople have been out in full force.

I tt the guy at my local Sherwin Williams early on about how business was. He said the first week or two it was a graveyard ; whole days went by, didn't see more than a few people. Then after a couple weeks it was like floodgates opened. Busy as hell all day long.

He figured that people sat around home for a bit and then decided to take advantage of being stuck at home to do some projects.

 

Costa Rican league shows fans cheering via zoom on their stadium big screens.

 

Lets get this game started!!

 

The Hungarian Cup Final was attended by 10k fans, as Hungary joins the very short list of leagues with fans allowed.

 

Refresh. I hit post before adding them, then quickly edited the post.

 

The job of a columnist is to "Virtue Signal", and certainly not have to bother writing a piece grounded in fact? Ah, now I see why so many students want to be called "columnists".
