    Amazing how many of them don't know how to knot a tie remotely decently.

    The Tietjens (Jen and Margaret) who were never teammates. Neither were the Fairs. So 2/4 were and went H2H in the last final.

    Tietjens - thanks. That was bothering me.

    I thought the Fairs were teammates for one season. Time scrambles everything, I guess.

    I want to say the SuperDraft coaches photo started in 2011 or 2012. Olsen and Vermes would be the only consistent subjects.

    (from Reddit) Kevin Gilmore to replace Joey Saputo as president of the Impact. Pretty big deal.

    He's incredibly qualified: VP Anaheim Ducks, VP Anaheim Angels, VP LA King, VP/COO Habs

    To give @xbhaskarx yet another opportunity to trot out his evergreen tweet...

    Minnesota United has a preseason match against FC Tucson on Tuesday.

    The Loons currently have 19 players on the roster.

    Nineteen.

    Oh, and at least two of them...Finlay and Molino...aren't fully fit.

    I have offered to come out of retirement to at least occupy the #3 keeper slot on the roster, but have yet to hear back from Manny.

    Granted, I'm 61 years old, so he may want to deliberate on that one a bit.

    The big question is would you get to wear the hat while playing?

    Dealbreaker.

    They could put it on the "Bluecat the Goalie" bobblehead doll.

    It's all about the marketing.

    As a personal aside, it might be time for me to put up an avatar photo more recent than one taken in 2004 at the US-Jamaica Flood Bowl at Crew Stadium... :)
