    I would barely take out my laptop on the plane for this kind of mileage.

    First round of WCQ is listed as around the time the most optimistic predictions of a vaccine are also for -- unlikely to be played that soon? But for everything else who knows -- March 2021 is 2/3rds of a year away ...

    I tuned back out after the Rapids bombed out of the tourney.

    So FC Dallas played, and allowed fans despite Texas being a covid trainwreck? And supposedly made fans sign a waiver? That's bullshit.

    Interesting. I'm not sure what to think. I guess if they were spaced.

    Not many fans last night, and it appeared that they were spread out around the stadium. Still don't think it was a good idea, but they probably did enough to keep it from being a super-spreader event.

    Messi wants to leave Barca....

    Of course, the usual pundits are out talking about any sort of possibility he comes to the US, what teams, etc., etc., etc....

    Anyone in MLS who honestly thinks there's a real chance that Messi comes anywhere here in the MLS before clubs like Bayern, Man City, PSG, etc., is smoking some seriously strong stuff....and I would like some before tomorrows game please and thank you.

    Even if Messi's legal team can talk Barca out of the 700mil Euro release clause that any team that wants him would have to pay....it's just not gonna happen. Not in the next several years at least. Maybe age 37-38. Maybe he hangs up his cleats before then. Who knows.


    Would it be a dream come true to have Messi be in MLS? Sure would. But again, anyone who thinks this could happen this coming year....I want whatever you're having.

    Supposedly, Messi had an "opt out of contract" language in his latest deal. So basically he is "free" to a new team. That being said, the whole reason he is leaving is because he wants to win more Euro Champions League trophy's

    I thought that the opt out had to be acted on in June. Ah well. It’s neither here nor there. Specifically Messi. Not here for sure lol

    I'm starting rumor. I hear Messi's wife was looking at houses in Denver.

    Rumor is out there that they went hard after Luis "Jaws" Suarez but he turned down their big offer. I think Higuain is better than "Jaws".

    Big shout out to Colorado's two-wheeled mountaineer Sepp Kuss. First TDF and 15th place -- World Class. Fantastic event this year and w/o any major Covid 19 bobbles in a country that is seeing problems with a 'second wave'. Inspiring.

    Great Tour this year. Every jersey (well, maybe not white) was up for grabs until the final week. Pogacar becomes the first triple-jersey winner since Eddie Merckx. Both young Americans (Kuss and Powless) looked good and Teejay was, well Teejay.

    It was three weeks of great escapism for me.

    Full disclosure I watch for the scenery as much as the cycling and love moments like when they went past the replica statue of the Lion of Belfort which was just a block from the hotel we stayed in the last time we were there.

    Also enjoy seeing other familiar sites/sights from the air -- I think Bob misidentified both Versailles and Luxembourg Gardens on his first try but eventually they get it sorted. Made me wonder about some of his other place IDs but they did say the 'helicopter script' was off today and they are in London (I think).

    And Teejay finished and finished in the top 100 (90th) which are not small feats -- esp. from someone who makes it sound like he is just there on a lark.
