A lot of people in this world are so scared of dying, they forget to live. Right now those people are over in some other thread pining for Troy Perkins or Zach Wells or Marcus Hahnemann. Let them pine. They represent all that's wrong in the world: Moderation, cowardice, and creamed corn. That life isn't for me. I need the wind in my hair, a hussy at my side, and a flask in my pocket. Parachutes are for **************. I want to grab Life by the pubic hair, rip off its head, and dribble it to midfield. Like Louis Crayton. I can already hear what the chorus will cry: "Bone-headed decisions!!!" "He cost us a goal!!!" My response? Stop being a pantywaist sally and live a little. What's the goddam point of life when it's so bland and boring that one forgets to have a little fun. Why bother? You'll thank me, and Louis, when you're older.
Yeah, you know what? You're right. It is better to live life jumping from roof to roof instead of shuffling along the sidewalks. Louis is fun to watch, he can add drama to the game. I want him to score from one of those crazy forays of his into the midfield.
And before you ask; Age and enthusiasm gets you hurt and youth and treachery gets you locker room cancer.
Wells was saddening last year - Kocic is too young and still learning But Crayton makes me wanna drink more beer - Either to celebrate athletic saves AND SHUT OUTS - Or to drown my sorrows after watching him lose the ball dribbling outside the box
How about a Louis Crayton drinking game? A shot for every cross he watches sail unchecked to an unmarked man for goal? Two shots for every time he actually comes out to take a cross and muffs it? Just from that we would all be trashed by the early second half and miss out on the late game heroics of DC to secure another draw.
I'm with HATE. Be conservative after you die, live life hard until then. Crayton gets my blood flowing! At my age, with my beer and tailgate food diet, it needs all the help it can get I think Bluesfan will get an unspectacularly light buzz playing that game But maybe a shot for every time he comes out past the 18, a chug for each kick-save, and a shot or two every time he catches a harmless-ish ball and cradles it slowly to the ground he might be on to something
Live fast, die young, leave a good-looking corpse, eh? I love those swashbuckling qualities in a striker, but not in a goalkeeper. Give me safe hands, smart positioning and a loud voice any day.
eh, until we get another Roy Lassiter, not much excitement happening up top, gotta put it somewhere .... I'm glad it's out of the back line for now Why not be exciting at both ends? (make your own joke)
I've got to support Crayton here. When he fails, he fails spectacularly, but when he saves, boy does he make it look fun. Keep Crayton!!!! --Me
