    This very odd preseason video from 11 years ago today...well yesterday
    While in Ave Maria last week, forward Sherjill MacDonald and goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi used some of their downtime to take in the nature near the Everglades...


     
    schroncar, xtomx, bunge and 1 other person repped this.
  3. Tornaghi looks at the gator and hopes it doesn't eat him. Deep Dish looks at the gator and thinks "LUNCH!"

    @Pennsylvania Dave you have outdone yourself!

    Please enjoy the high end Kentucky Bourbon or other whisk(e)y of your choice this weekend in celebration of this very, very odd video you managed to dig up for our enjoyment.

    Ground Hog Day. Please do not tell me he saw his shadow and that the Fire will be bad for six more years.

    It has been this way since 2009! Those random seasons where the team was “not ready for prime time”, but somehow managed to be close to the playoffs or one and done, didn’t count.

    I am going to be skeptical all season, but I have faith that Frank can muster 1.5 PPG. It is time for the entire Fire organization to prove themselves.

    So, "Media Day" was a series of 3-8 second Xcrement videos?

    Not a word about "Media Day" on the Fire website.

    Not a single announcement for "Media Day."

    i am seeing a pattern here...

    Her comments weren't really a "American don't know ball" and more that the commentary for games seems to be so simplistic and overly positive that there's a lot of Americans trying to get into the sport that don't actually learn it very well. Especially if they're USWNT fans. The quote came from an article in The Athletic where she follows it up like this:
    upload_2024-2-2_13-39-44.png
    It's less that all Americans are dumb, it's just that the average American, especially the average American who only watches women's soccer when it's the national team, doesn't understand the game that well outside of "The US is good in this, right?" And I completely agree with her. It's a large part of how I approach the USWNT because I know that a large portion of those watching don't understand how it's possible for a USWNT player to be having a bad game and they're listening to the propaganda that FOX, ESPN, and CBS pretend is impartial.

    Because it's about taking pictures and videos to be used during the season. It's not "media day" like for the Super Bowl where actual media members are present. It's the WWE.

    Thanks for that. That makes sense.
    I appreciate your comments!

    If it's the WWE, can we sign Rhea Ripley, then?
    She's an absolute force of nature and would probably whip any player on the team into shape.

    If it gains traction and simultaneously pisses off Elon Muskhole it's a win win with me. I appreciate your support in this endeavor.
