2 weeks from the start of camp, 10 open player spots, so little activity that the sound of a cricket chirp is considered "noise," but I'm just brimming over with optimism. This is going to be the best season ever! There are a lot of reasons to be cheerful, and this is just a partial list: Summer Buddy Holly The working folly Good golly Miss Molly And boats Hammersmith Palais The Bolshoi Ballet Jump back in the alley And nanny goats 18-wheeler Scammels Domenecker camels All other mammals plus equal votes Seeing Piccadilly Fanny Smith and Willy Being rather silly And porridge oats A bit of grin and bear it A bit of come and share it You're welcome we can spare it yellow socks Too short to be haughty Too nutty to be naughty Going on 40 no electric shocks The juice of the carrot The smile of the parrot A little drop of claret anything that rocks Elvis and Scotty days when I ain't spotty, Sitting on the potty curing smallpox Health service glasses Gigolos and brasses Round or skinny bottoms Take your mum to Paris lighting up the chalice Wee Willy Harris Bantu Stephen Biko listening to Rico Harpo, Groucho, Chico Cheddar cheese and pickle The Vincent motorsickle Slap and tickle Woody Allen Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale Balabalabala and Volare Something nice to study Phoning up a buddy Being in my nuddy Saying hokey-dokey Sing Along With Smokey Coming out of chokey John Coltrane's soprano Adi Celentano Bonar Colleano Yes yes, dear dear perhaps next year or maybe even never (That's the answer to the question of when we will win our next MLS Cup)
1. I would take a Supporter's Shield at this point. 2. There are so many roster spots to be filled that the potential (chance) ((maybe)) for new talent is through the roof!!
I am optimistic that some day I will be dead, and thus freed from the cruel, Tantalus-like existence that is Revs fandom.
There are some truly epic thoughts going on here! That's the spirit! Always looking for that silver lining! A frown is just a smile turned upside-down. You're not as think as you drunk I am. Or something like that. Yeah, but the problem with the Krafts is that all they think about is prophets. That's the only think that matters to them!
No news on the Portugal front for a while. Maybe it is because Burns is busy negotiating a contract and it's still hush-hush until all the Ts are dotted and the Is are crossed! C'mon Mikey, we know you can do it!
Au contraire, mon ami! I am indeed serious! Who doesn't feel the excitement building for the upcoming season? I know Burns is out there working tirelessly to bring in the players we need to make a deep run in the Audi MLS Cup playoffs presented by Heineken. I remember when Heaps was first hired, they said, and I paraphrase, "Some times a team might beat us, but NO ONE will out work us!" What more evidence do you need? Burns is on it, and he is going to keep on working until he stops and we will have our full complement of budget compliant resources in camp when it opens next week!
I will be optimistic on the day it is announced that the Krafts are selling and a super rich new owner who loves soccer is buying NER. Otherwise, in 2035 there will be reports that the Krafts are seriously looking for a new stadium.
Sporting told Mikey that he could sign Gerson, for $1,000 and a 2nd round draft pick, as long as he could finish a full and delicious dish of Lampreia........But, as with WC shots, Burns just couldn't keep it down.
