It was a fun season (and I say that as a fan of a team that fell apart one step short of the Cup final). Red Bulls and Atlanta were excellent teams and have a real chance to challenge for the champions league in the spring; the Crew managed to be good even amidst all kinds of uncertainty; Toronto falling apart was…

The Graduate.

I was at the KC game, and yeah, that shit was completely embarrassing. Although it was pretty hilarious when the entire field was cleared of players and the only person on the field was KC’s coach chiding the fans.  

They were winning. Big. Time ticking away without soccer being played was his biggest ally.

Honestly, when your team desperately needs every second they can to make a comeback and you’re stupid enough to throw something at the other team, you deserve to have to watch them milk it to waste time. I say this, btw, as a fan of the other MLS team that lost last night, and which also had a couple dumbass fans throw…

“Adult Books” by X during one of the scenes at the bar was perhaps an inevitable choice for this particular show, but still a strong one.

Anyone else read CC’s death as him basically committing suicide by brothel owner? His demand for 10 grand was patently ludicrous (like Frank could ever hold onto that much money), and then he just seemed to be saying things to push Bobby’s buttons for the sake of pushing Bobby’s buttons. I get that CC’s always an…

Soccer’s up, fwiw.

It’s about god damn time.

In an airplane heading home after kicking the ever-loving shit out of Florida would be my guess.

The best possible thing that could have happened for the future of MLS is Zlatan and Rooney being out by the final 8. Other than NYC, none of the remaining teams got there through aging Euro-stars doing a pre-retirement bit.

Also Lucky growing up and becoming his own weird version of a good husband and father. RIP, Tom Petty. And Brittany Murphy.

I’d say it’s for any fan of a long-suffering team from a city that feels like people look down on it. Certainly as a Kansas Citian it took me back to the 2015 World Series in a pretty big way.

It really is amazing that anyone in the Big 10 is managing to have a worse year than Rutgers...even though they beat Rutgers.

For sure. Remember what a piece of shit “Vinyl” was? This show has done an amazing job of not replicating all the sins that show committed.

It was probably a Yankees game (since AO played for the Royals in ‘77 and ‘78). I believe that we’ve moved into ‘78 at this point in the season, which means that the show is probably referring either to May 12, 1978 (when the Royals beat the Yanks 4-3 on a bottom 9th Otis inside-the-park homer) or May 14, 1978 (when…

If we had pro/rel this wouldn’t have happened.

Best case scenario probably would have been something like John Lydon’s path, wherein Cobain could have gotten into some other project to let him explore his weirder instincts and occasionally write sort of a sideways pop-hit, and show up on talk shows from time to time to say weird shit and be a gadfly. Middle-case…

So, “I Wanna Sex You Up” is the best song on that list, I guess? Maybe “Unbelievable”? I suppose I’d listen to an argument for “Baby Baby”?

Something something Sir Psycho Sexy something something.
