I don't understand the huge monetary incentive? Would be fun to try just for the sake of it

I love the Gotham one! But maybe it depends on your affinity for hallucinogens. I think it'll be one of the rare jerseys that'll look better from a distance

Exactly! Wasn't it like 45s when first implemented in MLS? Felt smooth originally, dunno what's changed

Just checking for a Bobby Warshaw, is bronze a medal?

so dumb that the order is dictated. Let teams decide which order they go in!

Not the team going to the wrong city but many Honduran fans famously went to Saint John, New Brunswick instead of St. John's, Newfoundland in 1985 when playing the deciding game against Canada to qualify for the 1986 World Cup.

Vancouver Whitecaps ownership group initiating selling the club (Published 2024)

Curious the source of "financial state and their inability to find a new home" being why the team was put for sale since I'd seen it reported that it's because two of the owners are estate planning (www.nytimes.com/athletic/599...)

How fucked would the Rise be without the Caps?

And yet they were silent on Philando Castile

Disappointed you didn't ask the Vancouver Rise too, who are arguably the most egregious because they didn't have an existing following

What stops a team from just cashfering for a player & trading them back for GAM at a small fee? Or just being an intermediary to do that between two other teams to convert your cash to GAM? Presumably the league would slap their hand & make a rule against it after but seems like a juicy opportunity

Remember the pearl clutching about having a team in Las Vegas where there's gambling

Which caused a universal Wizards surplus so the Kansas City Wizards were forced to become Sporting Kansas City

The boys, for your consideration

I so hope it was Toronto just to be petty over giving up the pick in the first place to poach the coaches

I didn't understand why they couldn't power-cycle the router by flipping the breaker though

Small note: Newfoundland is not part of the Maritimes (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI); Newfoundland and the Maritimes makes up Atlantic Canada.

(Though, presumably that wouldn't have been in use for the period you were covering since Newfoundland didn't join Canada till 1949.)

I thought he did pretty well! Didn't say new-FOUND-land thankfully

How is something like the budget not copyedited to style...? Are there no standards...?

I feel like that's what this has primarily been

Somehow first MLS team to have three finals in a season

This sounds like he won't be staying in MLS? Maybe I'm reading it too closely

Really curious why he's just been freelancing since...

On their way!

I'm very embarrassed to just now realize that the Stream Clock is on Cambie. Downtown Cambie is like a different world from the rest of it
